^ I couldn't agree more! They did that in our House races here in Connecticut, and it was like "Come on! Focus on issues that you can actually work on!"
BTW, in a House candidate, I'm looking for someone to clean up after me, and make sure that dinner is ready by 6 pm.
Uh, didn't the Democrats pick up some GOP state house seats last cycle? Looks like the anti-war message contributed to the "throw the GOP bums out" mentality that helped the D's win in '06.
Yes, many State House candidates won on a platform of "I Don't Like President Bush" back in 2006. A retarded circus monkey could have ran and won on a platform like that last cycle, but I don't want to be represented by a retarded circus monkey, regardless of political affiliation.
Yup, that's exactly what happened. There were quite a few members in the state House here who opposed the war, yet still got tossed out. I talked to a few people leaving the polls, and they told me "I'm not happy with the way our state is going, so I voted to put the Democrats in power of the state House and Senate for a change"
Uh.. people, good job. The Democrats have had control of the House and Senate here for like, 16 million years.
