Agreed. I was disappointed as a conservative and the holy middle and far left were disappointed it didn’t happen quick enough.
It is true that the GOP has won few elections since Terri Schiavo was murdered. 2005, 2006, and 2007 were somewhat disappointing. There were a few bright spots in LA and MS in 2007, and now the congressional races have brought those gains back to reality. I can imagine wholesale losses in the fall even if by some miracle Oprah’s Obama is not elected as chief executive. There are just no “safe” seats much any more, and people saying those IL, MS, and LA seats were “safe” did not understand that voters are blaming Republicans in general for high fuel prices, rightly or wrongly, and I say wrongly. All people understand is that they vote “D” when they sour on the “R”. Nothing more.
