DB, "No excuses this time, the people showed up." [The Dems would probably tell you that the wrong people showed up . . . and waited in line. Their youth vote got tired, went for pizza, lit up a joint and, "Hey, dude, . . . what was that important thing I was supposed to do again???"] I think things will change. The thing that really divided the country appears to be morality, then security/terrorism. Things will change for the Dems, who have to decide whether they can keep letting the ship go down with Terry McAulliffe/CBS/Hillary. There's a vast majority of Americans who turn on the TV or the radio are aghast at what the coasts are sending out into the heartland. Correct or not, the red states associate this pollution with the Democrats. When you couple that with some core, easy-trigger issues (which party is "for" having men kiss each other in front of your kids? which party wants prime time and then syndication time to be full of sitcoms with gay themes, sitcoms with loose, casual sex?) and you can see a long hard row to hoe for the Dems. In the last 40 years they have won the Presidency exactly 3 times. Kb

It is my sincere hope that we will get real tort reform, and not just medical malpractice award limitations, on a federal level. If we can take the trial lawyer's boots off the neck of the economic power in this country, we can really realize the American dream for the vast majority of us, and not just insure that the trial lawyers can continue to make deposits and payments on their Mercedes. This one element might be the most important outcome of this whole election. Kb
