Reply #72: Well, with a congress that would've been GOP throughout his term

[Ken Burch]

That really all he could've managed.

It wouldn't have been possible for him to do anything we could all have cheered for if Hastert had 270 seats in the House and Frist had had, say 60 in the Senate, which they would have had by 2004. The Democrats would've continued to decline on the local level as well.

I'm sorry Gore didn't win, but he would never have been as good in office as he was in the movie. I'm just saying you should face reality on that.

It would have been as if the last two years of the Wilson administration had gone on for eight years. That's all we could've hoped for.
