any thoughts anyone?

Please, please don't let it be so!!!

It won't be. I think that people will finally see through Bush and the party and all of their lies by the end of his term if not sooner. I'm just being optimistic. Also, he's just so terrible that he is bound to f*** up so badly that people will have to pay attention. Who would be their candidate in '08? Hopefully the democrats will deliver their message better this time. And no wussing out! At least now there is Air America and other outlets for people to listen to other than conservative opinions. Anyway, don't believe it Hill, we're not going to lose any more ground to the fearmongerers.

It was just something I read, and when I looked at the red/blue state map this past election, I was surprised (astounded more like) at how many RED states there are! And then I read that the exodus of the Democratic base from the South (the Dixiecrats) over to the Repug party got me worried...This happened in the Reagan days, a lot of Southerners are desperate (apparently) to preserve the priviledged status of "propertied/white/male" and its spread to other parts of the nation

But: in 08, just as the Republican Party will have to cast about for a candidate, so too will the Democratic Party. And who will we put forward? I wish we could clone Clinton....Too bad Hilary has so many people who hate her, I think she'd be awesome in the White House

It's because of the fearmongering white house. These people are clinging to old beliefs because they are terrified of the future. The unknown, dangerous future the white house has invented for them. Yes, it is very scary!
