Now, "experts" please tell me again how the rat will retake the Congress. Look, the process is simple. Issues come up. The rat responds. People are reminded of whose side the rat is on. The rat loses seats. Any questions?
I think you may be right. At least in a presidential election. I'm afraid there are way to many idiots in this country to draw the connection that legislators profoundly impact our geo-political policies. I have so many friends that are just plain ignorant when it comes to civics. Most can't even name their own Congressman or Senators. These are college educated people to. I think anyone that is not an idealogue or a washed up hippy, not part of a brainwashed "minority" group, or otherwise, not a lesbian midget who wants to save the trees, is insane for voting for the Democratic party.
Okay - here's how:
Many conservatives are angry at Bush about immigration & spending. They decide to "teach the GOP a lesson" by staying home or voting for a 3rd party. The democrats then win.
THAT'S how!
Hope your assessment is correct . . . .
