tre,
while i think you're right... i think the economy and war frustration are enough to get a dem elected anyway.
of course, the repubs are going to 'fix' everything right before bush leaves office. declare victory, find osama, open up oil and lower gas prices.
everyone remember how gas prices dropped so far in Oct 06? the on nov 15, 06, they shot back up again? All we heard about from people here was "look, gas prices are down, bush has turned it around!"
