    Which way is the arrow moving?

    Or it could be the other way around!

    Look at California with Schwarzenegger, not your typical Republican, isn't he?

    In any case, it depends on reading correctly the electorate mood in order to win. Polarising issues did not yield political success this time round for Rove's political strategy.

    I believe democracy is fake..an ilusion..but democrats are so much better than repubicans. Good job americans...(heh, that must be the first time I wrote good job and USA in the same sentence, no offence).
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    Eh, just fucking with him. He slagged the US with a broad brush and then followed with "no offence", so I thought I'd join him.

    I think both parties will be working towards the presidential election in a couple of years. They will try very hard to find a resolution to Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel/Palestine (just to name a couple of issues) and be able to claim that it is their policies (dem or repub) that enabled a favourable outcome. I'm hoping that, with both parties vying for the elections, they will do their upmost to 'right the wrongs' and get things on track to show their party at their best, ready for 2008.

    Lets hope so!

    not that this is the end all be all, but all the poll results i saw today while calling in sick from work, said that iraq was lowest on the list (out of 4 reasons). corruption was above that.

    Not that 1 article is the "be all, end all"...but it certainly is trying to make th esame point I did the other day.

    Even mentions the Rhode Island race I refered to.

    Well sure it mentions the RI race, but then you could just easily put the TN race on the table saying it wasn't W and the war (because of what they said in the article). It doesn't seem so simple. It seems that people had a handful of different reasons, but there was an overall desire for change. Electing democrat majorities to the house and senate is one way of going about that.
