The Republicans did a poor job of presenting a unified position. The voters are ill informed and by and large uneducated, The Democrats have no position and are not unified and show no substance beyond emoting. I hope they keep it up..

I must have missed the vote on the war, or on Bush.
Voters rejected candidates. It is supposition whatever the over all message was.
And only 10% (at most) of voters changed position at all. That is no landslide, regardless of the pundits who made such a fuss over the results.
The split used to be 55/45, and in that election 10% moved the other way, so the split was 45/55 in the Democrats favor. So what? A 10% move means very little, in perspective. Bush and the Republicans only ever had a slim lead in support, and now the Democrats have that slim lead (or did, in that election anyway).

This sums up the Republicans 2006 Election innovations-set exceedingly plenty: "you nonetheless might desire to vote for us 'reason my opponent is a slug, and that they are going to tax you into the poorhouse. on a thank you to the poorhouse, you will meet a terrorist on each highway nook. And once you attempt to run far off from that terrorist, you will holiday over an unlawful immigrant.'" --Former President invoice Clinton, on the Republicans' 2006 marketing campaign formula

A lot of people (Althought I find this argument really dumb)
voted Bush into a second term because they thought he should finish what he started. Kind of like a bad little kid... "go clean up the mess you've made." Only he contimues to make it worse... so the people were doing the whole I'm going to count to three (voting in the Dems in the mid term)
And the bratty little kid is still not cleaning up his mess... I predict the Republicans will be on restriction.... for a very long time.

We are tired of Bush and the war and our men getting killed. A democrat will be elected in 2008, probably Hillary, because of the bad judgements of Bush.

9 Trillion reasons.
We have a national debt that equals 9 trillion dollars, that's $30,000 for each and every American. The Iraq war is a joke, at 3 billion dollars a week. We can't pay for anything anymore, all of our business are being sold to foreign parties. We can't even take car of our own roads in Indiana!!!!! The government has turned into Big Business corporate conniving bastards!!!!!!!
Bush equals Big Government, way more than any Liberal could be.

If Bush doesn't pull out of Iraq before 2008 elections and the GOP keep siding with his failed policies, then a Democrat will win the White House, and majorities in the Senate and House. It's that simple. Americans are sick and tired of this war and this president.

A landslide for the Democrats like 1964 where Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater and more Democrats were ushered into Congressional seats in both chambers.

Actually, the Democrats have only 51% of the Senate in their corner.
Bush still has 22 months to serve and he has the Veto Pen.

Because they FINALLY woke up to the reality that nothing was getting DONE in the country, and that the war was going on, & on, & on... And if this trend continues, even MORE Republicans will get kicked out of Office next year- and our NEXT President will be a Democrat.
