Carl, you know I like you, but this time around you sound like a cry baby and you lack your usual sober head.

>> why did Bush wait until AFTER the election to fire Rumsfeld?

You already know the answer. Hubris and stupidity.

>> if it weren't for Bush, we'd be doing fine.

Oh DAH! Nobody wins; everyone loses because of their mistakes and weaknesses. You should know this from The Art of War.

>> This election was not a repudiation of the Republicans

Like hell! Of course it was. Who do you think enabled Bush to make as much mess as he did? Who rubber stamped whatever Bush sent over? Who refused to show any oversight of corruption and war profiteering? Are you suggesting those people were not Republicans?!

>> Schwarzenegger easily won reelection as governor of California

Ask any hard core Republican, they loath to consider Arnold as a "real" Republican. I've been listening to California Republicans for chunk of today and even they say so.

>> If I were Democratic, I would be worried about how well the Republicans did in this election.

Nope. You'd be celebrating and planning how to ensure your own permanent majority.

>> What are the Democrats going to do when Bush's mistakes blow over?

What are the chances of that happening? Bush's mistakes have been so huge and so long lasting that for the next 20 years everything will be blamed on him by both parties. I give it better than even odds that Republicans will run on an antiBush platform. Already several Reps did not mention their party name on their campaign and one guy did not even want to be seen with Bush.
