“a conservative Congress”
We lost Congress in 06 because of the ‘I’ll show you’ vote.
That really worked, ya, it sure did!
WEll I keep hearing it was because of the no shows, however, in my state Missouri the ballot was loaded up for the UNIONS and they got their people out in force. How I know this was because the initiative to raise cigarette taxes failed 'big time', yet the 'Union' initiatives passed with flying colors.... also Talent was not an inspiring candidate to counter the get out the Union required for work votes.
Also on the ballot was the 'stem cell' initiative which played to the medicaid crowd big time and whenever liberals can inspire their base there really are not enough conservatives to stop them.
