The Republicans are in trouble over the pond. They are projected to get hammered in the House of Representatives and potentially lose control of the Senate to the Democrats. Silly individual errors of campaigning judgement, like that of George "Macaca" Allen and Rick "blatant lies" Santorum mean that the Republicans are just all over the place. Elizabeth Dole, in her role as chairman of the Republican's Selection Committee for the senatoral elections, has dropped all manner of clangers by selecting campaigning illiterates to fight key seats (look at Katherine Harris). And this is just the Senate!
It is increasingly likely that the American liberals are back on the march, and that should terrify countries like ours. If the origin of the war on terror are ready to back a bunch of lilly livered defeatists then, surely, anything is possible in places like Britain. Thankfully the US Democratic party has 'done a Blair' and totally reconfigured their outlook and personell. With the exception of the Lieberman situation in Conneticut the majority of Democrat candidates for the Senate and House are fiscal conservatives, attacking President Bush from the right of the economic scale.
Unthinkable, surely? Well no... Bush has spent a hell of a lot of money. In fact he has splashed out so extravagantly that the US are having to borrow money from, wait for it... China! Despite the relative strength of the US economy the one big hole it has found itself in is with the amount of debt it has got into. On the face of it, however, the Republican administration has been thoroughly competent. They have reduced taxes, taken proactive measures to improve and increase homeland security. Any incoming Democratic administration would have to water their anti-business and competitiveness Bills down to ensure the President signed them off, so there shouldn't be too much damage done.
The big advantage of having the Senate and/or House go Democrat at this time is the sort of people the US will be putting into power. The Chairman of the Democratic Party is one Howard Dean! We all know what happened to him when he last got a sniff of power! YYYYEEEAAAHHH!!
The Democrats are choc full of freaks and sweaty wierdos. It would do any prospective Republican presidential candidate the power of good having 2 years of liberal namby pamby crap governing the country. At the moment the Democrats can blame the Republicans for just about anything; they have been out of power for so long. If they were part of the decision making process such accusations would fall on even the most liberal of ears in 2007.
I hope the Democrats win something in November. The Republican future of the White House could be at stake!
