I am starting to think that as terrible as 8 years of Bush have been, maybe there will be good come
out of it in the long run.

Look at Congress, now held by us.

Record turnout (again), and apparently mass numbers of new voters.

Young voters coming out in record numbers.

A huge Democratic surge seems to be taking place. I can't place this on any one candidate. Yes many are drawn to Obama or HIllary or Edwards. But I believe many are sick of Bush and want something different. Disgust with Bush could usher in a stronger Dem majority and truly advance our causes. It could also cement in the minds of young voters that Republicans are not for their values and Dems are.

1. YESSSS! And the old right wing Democrats are being forced to turn left wing. :-)
It's a good thing!

He pushed the pendulum too far.
As it swings back, it is wiping out the gop.

And pushing the country to the Left, and the Democrats to the People.

3. When a kid has abused his toys for a period of time, well you know,
you have to take them away from him/her. This is shrub's time for "time out".

4. We'll see
The president is not the only race that is very important.

And, no, nothing is good about shrubito until we reverse everything he has done that we possibly can. That takes Democratic balls.

We'll see.
