Pres. Bush and the (other) Republicans have their flaws, and mistakes have been made.
However, in trying to anticipate what a Democrat takeover of either or both houses of Congress would actually mean, we find it impossible to say what our new azimuth would be after such a major course correction.
No particular refreshing initiative of the Democrats comes instantly to mind when we think about what might follow a changeover on the Hill. Democrats only seem to stand foursquare behind a plan to (1) spade up the academically intriguing question of pre-war intel on Iraq and (2) make the Mark Foley case into the crime of the century.
At best, we think, voters would be expressing only an amorphous desire for change of some kind.
A voter who wants to switch to the clueless Democrats because he doesn't like the way "things" are is like someone who has a headache but thinks stabbing himself in the thigh with an icepick would be a solution for his malady.
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.

I fear the American voter is reaching for the ieepick.

I suspect when the first Tuesday in November arrives that the elections will be determined on which polarized Party actually makes it to the polls the most.
I believe scandals are the campaign rather than the issues.
Thanks, gents. We seem to be of one mind. The Kerry gaffe may be bad enough to cancel out the Congressional instant message scandal, but an outbreak of sunspots could confound all predictions.
