The next two years have just gotten a bit more interesting.
I don't think the Republican GOP has leanrned anything. Gas prices started rising the day before election day; I suspect the oil industry saw "the writing on the wall" and decided their manipulation of gas prices didn't accomplish the desired goal of supporting Republican candidates. I suspect the oil industry and the war machines are going to make all they can make while they can, because they know Dubya's influence with the legislature just went ount the window with the suds.
I hope you are right Sharkie....but I have the feeling the Democratically led GOP will have not learned to listen to the voices of the people who put them in office. It will be interested, indeed, to see how things go. Bush certainly isn't likele to follow our Terminator's lead and compromise on anything. HD
