2008 Looks Like The Best Political Environment The Democrats Have To Work In Since 1976
Edited on Tue Oct-09-07 09:52 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
In 1976 the Republican party was decimated by the stain of Watergate, the collapse of Viet Nam, Nixon's resignation, a " selected and unelected" president, and runaway inflation...Yet, Gerald Ford closed a thirty three point post convention deficit to less than two percentage points and if not for 30,000 votes in Ohio and Hawaii he would have been elected president...

I'd say we are a 3-2 favorites in 08... That's what the gaming sites suggest...But we can blow this too...
