1. I agree! Some may be upset with the administration; there are
certain issues I'm not really happy about, however,I think you're right because, once again as in 2006, people, sane ones anyway, have or will come to the conclusion that Democrats are the best choice. :kick:

2. The media is a propaganda machine for the right wing
People have to start realizing this.

3. Here is an article from 2006 from the liberal NY Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/28/us/politics/28senate.html?hp&ex=1159416000&en=582f125a7c4abeb0&ei=5094&partner=homepage

Analysts say the level of Senate competition should come as no surprise; Senate races are more likely to reflect national trends, they say, whereas most House districts are so carefully drawn on partisan lines that “they are safe against anything but a hurricane,” said Gary C. Jacobson, a political scientist at the University of California, San Diego.

I guess we had one hell of a hurricane that year.
