If current trends hold, this will be the second consecutive election Republicans do not defeat a single Democrat Senate incumbent or win a Democrat Senate open seat. The last time a party did not win a single Senate seat from the other party in consecutive elections was 1932 and 1934, when Republicans again were shut out.
Is this a harbinger of a realignment along FDR lines or is this merely a bump in the road following two decades of Republican success? The Right's response following November 4th will give us a hint.
Following the 2006 debacle, many of us argued strongly for a fundamental reevaluation and beginning a true rebuilding process. I've made the case repeatedly that, in 2008, the same people doing the same things will not produce different results. That's about to be borne out. This time, I hope we learn from our mistakes.

National Review Online was kind enough to publish the following article. As always, I welcome your thoughts.
A sample:
The problem with Republican candidates today is that they seem dangerously out of touch. All this talk of bipartisanship and bringing people together is insane. Bring whom together to do what? The current crowd in Washington with their bottom-feeding approval ratings? People don’t want them “brought together”; they want them run out of town on a rail. They want someone to be held accountable for the scandalous incompetence that has brought us to where we are today.

While we were out, King Banaian had an exellent piece on a very underreported story: Al Franken's plan to get rid of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).
Franken's plan would do away with IRAs in order to offer a government match on savings. Franken's problem with IRAs: the deduction doesn't help people who don't pay taxes.
Giving money to people who don't pay taxes has another name: welfare. Call it a savings plan all you like, but the real upshoot is that Franken is creating another income transfer scheme. |

He may not be your or my cup of tea, but Howard Stern has learned a valuable economics lesson, delivered by Democrat FCC Commissioners. Live and Learn, Howard. Maybe the old line about the definition of a conservative being a liberal who has been mugged should be updated to say a conservative is a liberal who has tried to work in the private economy. |
