[A CA Guy]

The only way 2004 can be another sweep of sorts would be if there is a constant haranguing on the theme that the Democrats are socialists and blockers of any financial reform.

Until Republican politicians grow some backbone, the party will keep bouncing back and forth in elections and barely get a majority.

If the Republicans get bold, they could get these super majorities for a while and make some proper changes for the government.

That is how I see it anyway.

The recent midterm elections were a surprise to many pundits. The fact that the GOP regained the Senate in an off year was remarkable event and violated common politcal wisdom. Conservatism is the logical direction to go, given the abject failures of leftist policies througout the globe. This fact is puntuated by the onslaught of islamic terrorism, an improving economy, the increasing stability of Iraq, and a leftist defeat in CA.

The conservative citizen will stiffen the spine of even the most invertabrate GOP rep.
