I was referring to the damage of the budget battle in mentioning Newt's misplaced trust... He fought before, he still had many supporters, and he could have fought again. I think he showed class... These cycles mean little, since no one really knows what dictates the pattern. So this year didn't conform to the pattern? No one really knows what it means. It is still true that a majority of voters voted Republican, that most said that the scandal hadn't influenced their vote, and among those who said it was a strong factor, those who came out in support of the President were cancelled out by those supporting impeachment. Furthermore, GW Bush continues to lead Gore by about 20 points. So its hard to make it into much of a debacle, except that it went against expectations. In fact, the best analysis that I heard is that voters regard the Republicans as the party in power, and that we had been misled by the fact that the White House is occupied by a nominal Democrat, so in that sense the patterned held, and the party in power lost seats.
