Like it or not, part of it is screwing up on part of what happened in Iraq. Sad to say, but Saddam did a better job of giving them electricity and water then we did, and they got pissed like hell at us because we were a step down. The election here wasn't lost at all because the Dems did anything right, it was lost because GOP did stuff wrong. So right now, unless someone gets some accomplishments that can be pointed to, the only real chance for a change coming up is for the Dems to screw up just as bad, or to pull some new Reagen out of nowhere and run 'em. Otherwise, might be looking at them pulling the White House in 2008. Need to worry less about what the blue is doing, and worry more about what the red is doing. They don't have a platform, but they're not accountable to the people since they're now in power. Reps are in most voters minds, and that's what made it turn out this way. We had aountability, they didn't, so we take the flak for the scandals, for Iraq, for everything that gets put out there.
