Two issues. Perceived and real corruption. Iraq (lack of putting up a "V")

Most races were VERY close, won by 5-10k. Just a bunch of dissatisfied repubs could cause that

pomp, From what I hear from voters, after the fact, the war in Iraq is what swayed them the most. They feared it would be another Viet Nam, and that total victory was not going to happen using conventional land based combat. Some wanted to bail out, and leave Iraq to the terrorists, and others wanted to nuke the place out of existence. Nobody, that I know of in Florida, thinks that the government did anything wrong in handling Katrina. Those people had plenty of time to free themselves from the onslaught but they just sat on their asses thinking the government owed them something. Plenty of transportation was available, but only one young man had the initiative to commandeer one of the many school buses, and take 75 people to safety. They lived in a cess pool of a city, and should have expected that something would happen to destroy it.
