OK..
It's been one month since the election... anyone care to make a comment before the new Congress takes over?
I recently read an article in Smithsonian Magazine about the 1946 election, in which the R's won handily due apparently to the fact that HST was seemingly inept and not FDR (Historical note: this was the Congress that welcomed the newly elected JFK, Tricky Dick, and "Tail Gunner" Joe McCarthy). However, only two years later the D's regained the majority, because the R's only wanted to continue fighting Truman, and failed to get the economy back on track. This should be a lesson to the D's: don't let Shrub-hating make you loose sight of the bigger picture !
