Are the Republicans in a Win/Win situation?
Heck, we even have a republican (nominally so..) mayor here in the People's Republic of NYC.. It looks to me the Republicans are in a win/win situation.
If Bush wins, that is sure to take the wind out of the sails of his most hateful critics. (Haven't we all had enough of MoveOn.org forwarded e-mails??)
And if he loses? Kerry looks to be nothing but a Parliamentarian, no real agenda beyond winning this thing. His voting record in the Senate has been extremely liberal, but so is Massachusetts..
Beyond the national media's obsession with the Presidency - the real story to me is the increasing numbers of Republican Governors, State Houses, Senate and House seats..
With a bullet-proof majority in Congress, and fresh ideas bubbling up from the state level (like school testing and welfare reform before them) the G.O.P. may be on a roll???
What do yous guys think?
