Better to lose a skirmish if you get positioned better for the battle to come!
This was no skirmish.
It was a defeat of the first order.
Six years squandered.
This administration has succeeded in making big government and socialism acceptable to "conservatives" and the populace in general.
What else would explain the exit poll interviews of voters saying they believe the RATS are better on taxes.
Worse, there are no leaders in the wings on the Republican side even worth considering for president.
There has been a woeful lack of preparation for 2008.
McCain! McCain! McCain? Puke.
