Not in this train wreck, but they did cost us a couple of seats. Rush summed it up very well today. Republicans did not distinguish themselves from the Democrats! Btw, I posted a similiar statement laast night on the election thread....wonder if he was logged on!

As I have already posted on this thread, all Republicans had to do was to be conservative. Many of them can't seem to do that. Unfortunately, Bush's border stance has effected many congressional races. His stance has not been conservative. Also many Republicans, cast off their conservative shackles and tried to get the moderate vote. Republicans have not differentiated themselves enough from democrats. Also Bush, with the bully pulpit, did not bring home the "why" of Iraq to the American public.
I know there are many around here who won't support that theory, but it remains out there, nevertheless.
