The Democrats have an excellent chance in 06 and especially 08, when all ashes have cooled after the firestorm of disasters Bush invited. But is a big mistake to presume the GOP will play by rules of a Jeffersonian democracy, in which people actually discuss issues as ideas and not character assessments.
The GOP never has campaigned on the truth, because truth usually places the party at the mercy of its
own public record.
The GOP knows it cannot win on ideas, because it brings nothing to the table and would look hopelessly inept, power-mad and thoroughly criminalized after the last five years. (It all began with a bogus vote count in Florida, remember?) And now, the GOP has all the black box voting companies lined up to stonewall any public investigation of exactly what code runs their "proprietary" voting machine code-- code that may well convert Democrat votes to GOP votes in the blink of an eye.
If you want a prediction, look at 2004, and the huge fart released by Rove about who was the REAL
Vietnam delta king. It did not matter in the slightest the GOP charges-by-proxy against Kerry were
entirely hearsay, or that all the GOP campaign was a clone of the slime Bush threw at John McCain in the GOP SC primary ("He has a black daughter!"). The GOP campaign had only one objective, to distract Americans from the fact the GOP boob had no clothes to cover his massive posterior. It happens every time-- when you point to the sky, a whole crowd will follow your finger in distraction, while a bank robbery occurs directly in front of them.
