jlechem's Journal: Democrats on the prowl

This may offend some of the 2 or 3 people who read these pointless ramblings of mine. ;) I've been a registered Democrat for a few years now. Mostly due to the ineptitude and retardation of the current Republican president. I'm a conservative in monetary matters to a degree but I'm blue through and through for the most part. Oddly enough I live in the reddest state in the nation Utah. I was listening to NPR, bastion of the elite liberals according Rush Windbag, where the guests were talking about how Democrats are leading in a lot of senate/house races this year. And in states that were very red in the 04 election. I think a lot of this has to do with dissatisfaction with the current Administration. However if Democrats would capitalize this and make a real go of things and consolidate the party and focus on a few key issues( energy, minimum wage, & possibly immigration ) a real change could happen not just anger towards the current president. The ball is in our court we need to run with if as far as possible.
