It's all speculation. In political terms, 2010 and 2012 are a long way off. Until we get closer to those elections and can assess the politcal environment in that time frame we have no way of knowing, or even making an educated guess, what results will ensue.

Quick comeback? Where's the least evidence of this?

The Dems could nationalize the oil companies tomorrow and I doubt it would launch a GOP comeback.

"but pursuit of government goodies while sticking others with the bill"

The vigorousness of the pursuit, the almost-mindless stampede of rushing to do this, is remarkable if not at times astounding. (Not astounding all the time, because we foresee more, worse behavior to come.)

While the GOP may make some small gains, as a whole the party is too disjointed and lacking in leadership to regain much power.

It is humorous to read political pundits who are stuck in the old ways of thinking. The Republicans are irrelevant to politics and all that matter now are the power blocks inside the Democratic Party. it is very appropriate that the U.S. has a Chicago style politician as president as politics becomes nothing but pursuit of government goodies while sticking others with the bill.

Americans who want fiscal restraint, smaller government, more freedom, and individual responsbile have no one left to support. The Democrats only care about extracting wealth from the private sector to give to their supporters, using the government to control the lives of thers (outside of sex and drugs), and in group benefits.

The future is probably brightest for the best organized, tightest groups of Asian Americans. Those groups with the best in group networking and with the least qualms about corruption will thrive in the coming U.S.
