From where I sit, looks like New England should be all one state. Except
maybe Vermont, but only if they let cows vote

You mentioned a possible backlash- if the backlash is against moderates &
Republicans for pandering to special interests to the detriment of the
country (or just their constituents), for repeatedly and blatantly lying
about their policies & agendas, and yes for the mismanaged & misdirected
war, then it will be very difficult for Republicans to lose less by
"claiming the middle." They have no credibility to claim anything.

OTOH voters are very easy to fool. That's part of the problem here.
Another is that fewer of them actually give enough of a darn to vote at
all, thus giving disproportionate power to those whackoes who vote on
only one issue, and care nothing about the practicality of trying to
legislate that one issue.

It seems to me that the Democrats can gain considerable ground by simply
banging Bush and his Republican rubber-stamp Congress for mismanaging and
botching just about everything they've touched.

The War in Iraq? Badly managed by Bush and the Republican Congress ever
since our troops defeated Saddam's armies.

Katrina? Badly managed by Bush and the Republican Congress from the moment
it became clear the storm was going to devastate the Gulf Coast.

Terry Schiavo? Ditto.

Stem Cell Research? Ditto.

The Federal Deficit? Ditto.


We can do better. Here's how.

With examples.

And we will still be F%^ked! The Dem's have not done well either. Maybe
why Congress has even less of an approval rating than the POTUS. We need
more Liberman's that will stand up for the people, not for the party. And
the Dem's putting Dean in charge, show they are clueless also. What are
programs that the Dem's will implement? Where's the beef?!
