re-attaching a feeding tube to a brain-dead woman..

Minor point: She was not brain dead and no one claimed that she was. She was brain injured and now she is just plain dead. The valid point in this analysis is that many of the "swing voters" are people who want the government out of their lives. If that is what they want, they made a big mistake in 2006.

Well I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I suspect many feel the same. We keep getting told that the democrats are going to spend more, democrats are going to expand govenment more, the democrats are going to intrude into your life more and for a long time that was true and for a long time we believed it even when it was no longer true.

Now the last congress has managed to out spend, out expand and out intrude damn near every previous congress in nearly every possible way.

So forgive me if the "democrats are going to be worse" mantra falls a little flat.
