“My big fear is the Dems will be able to use ‘George W Bush’ for the next 40-50 years just like they used “
‘Herbert Hoover’”
Nah. Americans are a fickle bunch; plus the Dems will over-reach if Obama wins. They’ll press their liberal agenda too hard and cause a backlash. Likely we’ll see a resurgence in ‘10. Remember, the Dems will have to defend more than 20 Senate seats that year. We thought the GOP was headed for a generational dark age when Clinton won in ‘92. Then, two years of liberal mismanagement later, we took both houses of Congress by storm.
Yes, the Dems will rule the Senate and House, and quite possibly the Oval Office. But they’ll fail, just as before.
Chambliss and McConnell are not going down. Even Ted Stevens is ahead by +1 in the latest poll. I predict a net gain of +5 or +6 for the Dems. If so, so what? As long as we hold the power of filibuster, it’s no different than what we’ve had since the 06 elections.
