They'll be the minority party again for a decade or so, but they'll be back.

The right leaning news outlet, FOX, remains the most watched, listened to and read.
The Republican debates are more highly rated than the Democratic.
The Republican candidates are either liked or disliked but none conjure the vitriolic hate that Hillary brings and none are more laughed at than Kucinich or Gravel.
None have earned money like Hillary or Obama but the RNC continues to out-earn the DNC.
Even though the minority in the House and Senate, the Republicans have still managed to get both bodies to vote Bush's way on nearly every issue.
The Democrats have positioned themselves with Hillary being the nominee as a forgone conclusion and the rest of them firmly established as hating Bush. HO-HUM
They are running the risk of the voters tuning out of the Convention coverage. Every single televised debate has been a repeat of the last and they had to resort to YOU TUBE to generate interest.
The Republicans now are the only source for developing voter excitement and even that has become marginal.
This is the first time in decades that no incumbent president nor vice president from either party has been on the ballot and is the reason coverage has begun so early but they are both risking voter burn-out and I believe the democrats are already there.
Soooo-----I think your question should be:
Is there hope for the Democrat's party?

The Republican party was once the party of common sense. Then the religious fanatics and Neo-cons took over and pushed issues that were not that important to the average voter. It worked for a while but people are tired of hearing homophobe rhetoric while the country was going down the tubes. When the Republicans get back in touch with reality they may start to win again but until then we will see the party decline as more and more members are caught in hypocritical situations.

Everything changes so quickly in this country. Remember in 2004 when people said that there was no hope for the Democrats because Kerry lost, Daschle lost, and they lost more seats in the Senate and the House? Who would've thought that two years later they would get back the House and the Senate and in general be the frontrunners for the 2008 election. Everything changes quickly and its very unpredictable, that's what makes it so fun to watch.

No.
The fact that the Republican Party was responsible for nominating and promoting the creation of the Bush administration permanently removes it as a viable American political party. I will NEVER again vote for ANYONE for ANY office who says he/she is a member of the Republican Party.
And prior to the Bush administration I had been voting for Republicans, Democrats, Independents, etc. for nearly 40 years without regard to party affiliation.

The number one candidate is not Rudy. If anything, the number one candidate is Romney. He is the one winning almost all the state polls ive seen. Ive yet to see Rudy win one, although admittedly i havent seen a state poll for New York yet.

Not really cos he's totally stuck on the brainless propaganda on the issue of terrorism.Anyone who says they hate us for our freedoms and US foreign policy in the middle east over the last decades has nothing to do with why fanatics are attacking America should not be president

No one from either party should worry about Weird Rudi becoming the president of this country.

Ron Paul seems to be making headway on both sides of the aisle. Personally I think republicans should get behind this man.
