Then how come they haven't come back?

[Theodore R.]

They haven't come back, as I see it, because they are determined to win -- they will wait out Perry and Dewhurst. They will be like the Viet Cong, slow, patient, persistent, a winner even if they lose a few battles along the way. To a Democrat, victory means everything. To a Republican, victory is "nice" but not usually expected.
