It is going to be a LONG, LONG two years before we regain power in 2008!

Don't hold your breath. A talking-head political scientist on retainer to a Houston TV station (a Democrat, academic variety but politically active too) pointed out that these flips between parties tend to be metastable and last a good while.

Twelve years might be more like it.

I chose two years, NOT because I don't understand the history of these flip-flops, but because we can't wait the usual twelve. The survival of the country can't afford it. We MUST defy history, be optimistic, put our heads, energy and money together, and focus upon regaining that power in TWO.

And frankly, I think the terorists are going to help us in this regard. They said today in a message to the whitehouse they are going to keep trying to blow up the Whiteouse until they succeed. As expected, this Democratic victory has and will continue to embolden them.
