So...?<BR/><BR/>1. Will they be more likely to vote for Dems in 2006, and shift the balance in Congress?<BR/><BR/>2. Will they be more likely to vote for Dems in 2008 in the Presidential race?<BR/><BR/>3. Will it be harder for Bush to get his agenda passed in Congress?<BR/><BR/>4. Will Bush's diplomats have a tougher time pressuring other countries?<BR/><BR/>I don't know that much of these propositions hold water, except for #3. "Party discipline" has suffered in the Republican party lately, but Bush isn't exactly running for reelection, nor is it likely that the '08 candidate would try to ride Bush's coat tails to election. So... what does this all mean?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the Democrats give me reason to hope, but usually I feel like they're too incompetent to continue to keep the Republicans honest. Obama's a sharp guy, but he'll get elbowed to the back of the line by the usual douchebags, and the candidates on the ballot will resemble Kerry, Dean, Edwards, Dukakis, Gore, et al., if history is any guide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1131733396758939572005-11-11T13:23:00.000-05:002005-11-11T13:23:00.000-05:00Malchow is my vassal.Malchow is my vassal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
