Will there ever be a Democratic landslide again?

Under say, a Scoop/Lieberman/Bayh type, but extremely charismatic and forceful. A younger Zell that actually got the nomination against Santorum?

Zell Miller is NOT a Democrat

Well, yes he is.  His party registration says so.

Whether or not there's a single Democrat that agrees with him is in debate, but whether or not he's a Democrat is not.

Opebo - When did you switch to the Democrats? Sorry, I've been away for a while.

A few weeks ago.  I've always been a Republican voter based on a lesser of two evils analysis, and have always had grave reservations about the party's social positions.  I had an epiphany during the anti-gay constitutional referendum amendment here in Missouri, in addition to some other issues.  I realized that the GOP is controlled by the Christian right, and my freedoms are greatly threatened by their agenda.  I wouldn't want to be in the same party as people like that.   The slight impositions Democrats might make on me economically seem like nothing by comparison.

That's interesting. I personally never understood the GOP's popularity, since many of its ideals (particularly those stemming from the religious right, as well the Straussian/neo-conservative wing of the party) seem to tread on the very notions of individual freedom and liberty which the United States was based on. But that's a more general thought.

I'm a conservative, and I hate freedom.

What?  I protest.  You can't hate freedom; that's our job.
