For anyone on the Board: I am curious what most people think the reason was that the electorate voted for the Democrats, to the extent they did. Was it Iraq? If it was Iraq, was it the original decision to go into Iraq, or the perceived incompetence of the occupation/restructuring? If not Iraq, was it Katrina, or other types of perceived weaknesses in the Republican federal response? Was it scandal? Was it congress being out of touch and/or ineffective (as contrasted with the Executive). Was it out of control spending, or stem cells, or something else?

I would be curious to see that people think. Forget the polls...what do you think? and why?

Just a question.

That sums up war: make fewer mistakes than your enemy.

"Our leaders are human and tend to make mistakes."

Yep.

It's just too bad that foreign policy errors (particularly in the Middle East and in South Asia) have been so grieviously in error, and for so long.
