Ed,

Nowhere has your analysis been more off base than this statement, which is a statement of hope and little else:

"I think the ability of the Bush Administration to govern too far to the right will be restricted by the more moderate conservatives. It was refreshing that the moderates in the Senate were openly critical of some of the Bush Administration actions during the middle days of the election."

This is regrettable, since it is my hope as well, but I don't think that's how big gains in the house and senate and majorities in those places will work. Most of the mischief that was done in the 60s happened with Democrat legislatures and LBJ in office. "Because he could," rings in my ears.

On the election, as I noted a long time ago, it would not be enough to make the case about hating the incumbent without making a positive case for himself.
