But the nation-wide problems that preoccupy Americans everywhere range beyond merely this; the GOP isn't constituting (or more correctly, offering) a serious alternative at this time. The Dems have some soul-searching as well as homework to do (and they'll be torn between correcting their wretched excesses and being pressured to do more, not less, of this, by "progressives"), while the GOP (and prominent conservative commentators) still cannot expect another 1994 next year.

The right spins all arguments toward a conservative "win," and the left does the same. ESPN announcers tend to see all sports as either east coast or west coast, and regularly ignore the fly over country in the middle, but I digress.<br><br>It's this political one-ups-manship that keeps most Americans blissfully unaware of the real problems and any real solutions to those problems. You'd almost think it was designed that way.

I hope it was the people that go by the way of law. Bloomberg (whom I voted for in his prior races) spent $100mill and didn't trounce his rival who spent , I think $10mill. I think it was because of Bloomberg's ignoring the term-limits we NYC residents voted for, was either not voted for (my case) or because people voted for his opponent. Can't be sure, but I think voters don't like Chavez/Bloomberg type maneuvers. I don't think there will be too many more moves like this unless you have a tremendous lead and tons of money.
