This blowout is almost ALL on Bush. The toxic combination of his arrogance, hubris and incompetence has destroyed the Republican party. With the protective gerrymandering of districts, this result was supposed to be IMPOSSIBLE. The people didn't just SPEAK, they SCREAMED!

I have been to Europe a few times .. most recently to Vienna, Austria for a conference on wireless broadband. The people in Europe think, as I do, that Bush admin. has totally lost it. I also have dealings with China, Pakistan, Israel and other companies in other parts of the world. Iraq/Islamic disruption creates problems for Europe but some view this as being a long term positive for them: this will hasten the decline of U.S. hegemony overseas and furthers the shift away from dependence on the American economy. That is not what most business people, Republican or Democrat, signed up for when they stupidly bought into the pro-military solution dogmatism. The Chinese, Russians, Europeans, South Americans, many Canadians.. the whole world is laughing at our national folly. The rise and fall of the U.S. post cold war supremacy in decades rather than centuries... it will make a nice book-end (or DVD-end) for discussion in decades to come.. "How could they have been so misguided to see the trees but not hte forest?"
