You have been a dose of ice water all night...but you are right. Looking back on our history, this country has come through TRUE disasters, this is simply a political blow to the solar plexus. It's basically been a 51/49 country for a long time, but the war pushed this over the edge.
The next two years, and the 08 election will be critical.
Republicans lost on the right issue tonight Iraq.
This nation will be hit eventually again. It is inevitable that this nation will have to stand and fight Islamofascism. Terrorists will not be able to resist the urge to strike us. Once this happens, the public will run again to the Republicans.
