"The Democrats are determined to make the election of 2006 a referendum on Bush and the war in Iraq. And, as of now, that is how history will likely record it."
"It might end up as a referendum on "gay marriage" :)"
Even if it were such, the MSM will never admit that (unless and until the gays win). The 2006 elections will be a referendum on whatever the MSM decide, after the fact, it was about. If Conservatives win, it will something inconsequential, and be called a 'temper tantrum' or 'fear wins'. If Democrats win, it will be a big deal, and the End of Conservative Movement As We Know It will come about because of it.
Pat Buchanan blahh... he is simply noise to me and has been since he came out against da Joos.. (as someone above aptly put it)
