"but i'll bet you a bright shiny dime that there'll be more Repugnicans not getting on church busses in '08 than in '04." Put Hillary on the top of the ticket and I guarantee you all those churches will be doubling their bus fleet to bring the voters to the polls.

Oh, and in poll after poll, the number one reason why Dems turned out in droves for '06 was to get Dems into power so they could end the war. In this, they've failed miserably.

And if you haven't gotten the message yet, both parties have frustrated the American people. How else to you explain the horrible showings in the popularity polls for Congress? Hell, Congress' popularity is lower than Bush's, that should tell you something. People are waking the fuck up and realizing that there is very little difference between the two parties, and frankly they are wanting a third option. '08 could very well be a signal year when that wish is played out, and the Dems go down. Hell, both parties may just go down, which would be real interesting. People are tired of politics as usual, with the Dem hand washing the 'Pug hand. And out of this frustration two things may happen, either their is large lack of turnout for either one or both parties, or there will be a mass migration to a third party. You don't believe me, fine, go do your own research. But from where I sit(and I've been right way more than I've been wrong), it looks like the Dems could lose in a major way, especially if Hillary's on the top of the ticket.

Oh, and as far as your insinuation that I'm getting my talking points from the right, go shove it. You have no basis upon which to build that case and frankly just because you don't like what I'm saying doesn't mean that I'm on the right. Hell, I'm probably one of the more leftist people you will meet. But I don't believe in sticking my head in the sand, and I have an uncommon ability, through research and paying attention, to read the political landscape. You don't like that, fine, but there is no need to be insulting.
