I haven't seen this. Ever since 94, the Dems have NEVER looked at themselves to see out what they were doing wrong. It was always someone else's fault - "the Reps used scare tactics, the voters are ignorant, the Reps stole elections, the Reps prevented us from getting our message out [as if they ever HAD much of a message...]" etc.
This "win" for the Dems will be easily lost in 08 if that party does not take a good look at itself and what it has done wrong, and how it fails to connect with people, and why many people find them distasteful.
While they did win, they barely squeaked by, and the margin of majority in both houses is razor thin. It was hardly a resounding victory, and hardly a "mandate" from the voters that they wanted a wholesale change.
What say you? Remember, I'm talking about the Dems here - yes, the Reps have messed up with their base, but they DID hold power for the past 14 years. So they did SOMETHING right, at least for a little while.
