*roll eyes*

a 2.5% loss is hardly an ass kicking, and it's kind of difficult for such a narrow victory to show that a country is rejecting an entire party.

However, majority of the country is rejecting the Barbara Boxer's, Ted Kenndy's, etc... Untill we dissacoiate ourselves from those type of "democrats" we will continue to lose elections throughout the country.  The American people agree with Democrats on alot of domestic issues.  But the anti-war, take away all your guns while we are at it policies arent catching on and never will.

Let's see.....
1. The war is a ing disaster
2. Most Democrats do not support new federal gun laws
3.  Not standing up to the Republicans and saying why they are wrong, will cause the Democrats to continue to get their asses kicked.

If the Democrats nominated Byron Dorgan, that would make my life really, really difficult if the GOP nominates a candidate I'm less than enamoured with. Dorgan seems to have his head screwed on right on several important issues, and recently made a superb speech ripping unfettered free trade to shreds - the first time I've seen any Senator do so on the Floor. I'm sure that if I looked more closely at his record, I'd find things that are objectionable - but at first impressions, he seems like a good candidate for the other party. But, as Thomas Reed said, "they could do a lot worse, and I suspect that they will".

There's a large difference between Dorgan and any Republican. He was one of only 25 to vote against the bamkruptcy bill, one of only 26 to vote against the class action bill, and one of only 36 to vote against Gonzales.

In many of those cases most of the red state Senators voted the wrong way.
