Well yeah..  the shortsightedness of the Democrats is shown best by how they expected a guy lacking any charisma (Kerry) to beat good ole boy Bush back in 2004.  If you don't have at least some redneck appeal, you're gonna lose the presidency.

It could also be shown by their utter failure in the Congress over the past couple of years.

There was a lot more failure between 2000 and 2006 when Republicans controlled everything, unless you like massive debt spending and increasing the size of the government a lot.

To put it bluntly, I'd rather have the Democrats do nothing than have the Republicans inflict more damage.  I prefer smaller government, but neither party seems to want it, so stagnation is still better than increasing the size further.

I don't disagree at all. Any time you have a single ideology controlling the Legislative and Executive branches, you get buffoonery that is not good for the nation.

That's one reason why I think things went so well during Clinton's terms. It wasn't because of him, but rather because there was a counterbalance in the Republican-controlled Legislative branch.

Absolutely...  I'm still not voting for McCain, but the best we can hope for if he does get elected is that this sort of balance returns to our government.
