That won't happen unless the Republicans become willing to espouse some liberal domestic causes on their own. Let's keep in mind that Bush signed into law (much to my dismay<g>) a hugely liberal farm bill as well as a liberal education bill. The Democratic party's problems are more due to its lack of ability to find a solid leader and to assemble a semi-unified message, rather than its platforms held as a party. I disagree. Look at the current crop of candidates the Democrats are putting forth. Their best shot is with Kerry, who can only be classified as an extremist, Kennedy liberal. While the NY liberals want Hillary, she is hated so much throughout the other states she'll never get elected. I think it is entirely possible we won't see another Democrat elected as president. The party has totally self-destructed, to the point that their only cause is that of obstruction -- evidenced by the likes of Daschle and Pelosi. These people are devoid of new ideas, OTHER THAN to stop Bush -- an idea which is tantamount to saying, "we can't think of anything on our own, but we KNOW we don't like Republicans". It won't fly. Their best hope is with moderates like Harold Ford, Breaux, etc. People recognize that the core of the Democrat party has just become so antagnistic and extreme that they can't identify with them any longer. And they're tired of the sleeze tactics of the Clinton era.
