my generic election 2008 predictions

[Person Man]

My bold prediction:  Republicans keep the White House in 2008

If that happens, the democratic party will basically collapse. I mean, if they cannot win now, what is their purpose?

I guess we should change our name to the Congress Party then. Lol.

Then again, that could be part of the right's permanent GOP strategy....because if there is a large enough DEM majority in the senate, Roe will never be overturned because the president will always have to settle on Souters, Kennedys and O'Connors to fill in vacancies left by Stevens and Ginsburg. With roe still around, the GOP zombies will be out in force. Maybe when there is an ammorous crack pot at the head of elections in FL,CO,OH or whatever GOP "stolen" state that used to cost the dems like 4 elections in a Row is able to see fundy church vans closing, they can have "mechanical difficulties"...I would be very angry if that were to happen, but alas, it appears that since 2000, they best way to effect the direction of the country is through voter fraud.

You Dems would win far more presidential elections if you'd simply stop nominating idiotic candidates.

That's a good point...but in terms of the issues, we are never going to get past 49% if the only thing that is the difference between us in the GOP is W and Iraq and either taxes, medicaid OR abortion and Gays.

We can't just abandon our issues, you know....and in this election, maybe the GOP's upper party machine will finally break down. The GOP national machine seems damaged.

If they do win, it would be 7th in the last 10 or the 6th in the last 8.  My guess is that if they become the only executive party, we will probably have the GOP in power until 2020, when something really horrible happens. It worked when we were never getting elected before.

...and its not like taxes will be that much higher for anyone except the truly rich. One expirement would be if there was a temporary change in heart before and after pay days.
