It is not just that the Democrats will win a crushing victory in both houses of Congress, perhaps reaching the 60-seat Senate threshold that lets them steam-roll legislation.

“commentator”?
“Newsweek”?
Can they be any more transparent in their bias?
The point he is making is that neither party has stood up in favor of free market policies. If McCain does lose, I believe his support of the bailout may well have been the deciding factor.
We’re the only nation on earth not run by a dictator that is swinging left.
But we’ll get our dictator, don’t worry. :)
If we do it means civil war, and since our side has all the soldiers and guns, they loose!
