I think you may be over reacting. Consider:

New Jersey - Democrat state, Democrat Governor, we were outspent by millions and we lost. No big surprise there.

Virginia - A democrat governor and we loss to a democrat. OK, Virginia is a red state, but I am not convinced that this is an omen for 2006.

California.... Washington? Two of the top five Blue states.

Let's not read too much into this recent low turnout election. 2008 is a long ways off.

Texas - gay marriage (a liberal "A" list agenda item) got the thrashing of its pitiful miserable life.

Ohio -- Soros got his ego kicked six ways to doomsday.
