I wouldn’t go that far. We will be in the woodshed for awhile, but it only took the Dems six years to take back everything.
Back in 2002, we thought the Dems wouldn’t be back in power for ages to come.
Politics changes a lot, and despite demographic changes, most voters are fickle.
We will be back.
You’re absolutely right.
Mitch Daniels (incumbent Gov) ran monstrously ahead of McCain here in Indiana. And while somewhat of a RINO, the first thing he did after getting elected in 04 was to de-certify all the unions representing state employees.
So they unions were really pushing to get him out.
