How the times have changed

politicsBy VictorM:

Not that long ago, the USA seemed headed to a single political party dominated by the Republican party. Not so anymore:

Their party brand has been destroyed by one of the most unpopular administrations in American history and one of the most despised wars ever. The American economy is as weak and precarious as it has been in decades. And their nominee is inextricably tied to all of the policies that have eroded our national strength on every level and made Americans dislike and distrust their government more than ever before. Even McCain supporter David Brooks recently acknowledged:

The Republican Party is more unpopular than at any point in the past 40 years. Democrats have a 50 to 36 party identification advantage, the widest in a generation. The general public prefers Democratic approaches on health care, corruption, the economy, and Iraq by double-digit margins.
Still, we shouldn't think that the 2008 presidential election will provide the country with a win by nominating a Democrat. Don't dismiss the Republican's ability to create a fear factor that can only be helped by electing a strong, powerful daddy to keep us safe.

Comments:
Nor let us forget the Republicans' ability to call up the Diebold people and make sure all their electronic voting machines have been programmed to give them the win. Again.
 
Damn, you beat me to it, rreppy!

Also, the Democratic candidate should stay away any/all tank, windsurfing, or bowling alley photo ops. Basically anything involving a hat or special clothes.
