Better Than ’02

7:11 pm EST November 6th, 2006 | Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I don’t know what the election results will be, and I know they won’t be perfect (of course, perfect for me is all 435 seats going Democratic) but this year is a far cry from the 2002 midterms. In 2002, the Democrats had just rubberstamped the upcoming war and it put a noticeable damper over the campaign. It was really hard to get energized for a Democratic party that was giving up such an important issue to the GOP.

This year is different. The Dems are not as cohesive as I would like, and certainly not as tough, but they haven’t given up the ghost on the Iraq issue and I think that counts for a heck of a lot to the Democratic party’s supporters.

    I’ll raise you one, Oliver.

    2006 could see the largest Democrat gains since 1974. Please note, I said “COULD see.”

    Are you going to start a final election forcast thread?
