Election Aftermath Thread

The Republican should be just completely embarrassed. It's a testament to just how bad they've screwed things up over the past 4 years in particular. Democrats nationally offered no position other then "opposition" to Bush. The country is still largely conservative in belief. The Democrats, from a national leadership perspective (though the candidates who won were center-left) still haven't quite figured out that this is a centerist country. And yet the Reps absoloutely got trashed in midterms.

The Republicans lost this and the individual democratic candidates won it. From a national perspective though no one won any sort of "mandate" though. The "mandate" handed down was, unequivocally, "God, everyone in government just sucks"
