We may never know what caused the crash. For sure. I thought at the time it was suspicious.

He had just announced his opposition to the Iraq War. A position that, in a tight election race, was a courageous stand at that time. Your post brings back sad memories.

We need more heroes like that. He was more than a politician. And we need more Republican heroes too. His death was incredibly heart breaking, still is.
