By the way, if you ask the average Dem voter (no the wing-nut "true believers"), most of them agree with the statement that "government is too large and intrusive". There is HUGE opportunity here for either party to make significant long-term gains if they make the right promises... and KEEP them... and judging by the number of Dem running right-leaning campaigns, they just might take advantage and relegate the Stupid Party to minority status for another two generations.
