Well, if this is a legitimate long-term shift in party dominance -- and I'm not convinced it is -- we should see a Republican landslide victory in the 2004 elections. I doubt you will see that type of dominance, but if the GOP can keep control of the House it can effectively whittle away at the Democrat coalitions which depend on getting 'paid' by the Party for their votes.

A landslide is possible, but the Democrats must cooperate. They appear to be doing just that, pushing one of their flaming extreme feminazi-liberals, Pelosi, to a top leadership position. And even better, the allegedly more "mainstream" moderate Rats like Bayh of Indiana are threatening to continue the obstruction in the war on terror and on voting for judges. At least that's what I've been reading on the Sunday Show thread. The idiots will continue to lurch left and careen into oblivion.

Something the Republicans did not realize and why they lost seats in the following years.
And caused Newt( still thinks his Contract did it ) to run off at the mouth and predict big gains in the house . Thus enabling the media to spin 98 as a defeat even though it was anything but as the GOP held on to the house and Senate

It is spectacular how long the list of absolutely incredible Republican candidates (leaders) is, and I'm not going to start adding to your list since if I did there would be scores, Yes, and the contrast to the Dems couldn't be sharper. The Dems are scrambling to find any leader at all.
What is even better is that so many potential GOP leaders are able to come together, choose one, and then rally behind their choice. The Dems have a cat fight, and never support each other.
Yes, the GOP did have Smith, but he got put in his place!
