Depends on what happens in the next four years and the result of the next two elections in '06 and '08.
We won a major battle this year. Whether Republican majority will become permanent is dependent on substantive policies advanced in the next four years, judicial nominations, and a good selection of candidates from the local level to the next candidate for President.
It is also imperative we keep a firm grip on red states, tighten up any leaks (Taft in Ohio) and seek to continue advancement into "blue" states, particularly in the midwest. With an increasing nuMedia and imcreased public activism by conservatives and Republicans, this can occur.
It isn't going to be easy, and it isn't yet determined. It is possible.
