^^Clearly, that's not what it's really about. At the time of those elections, the polls didn't show this kind of opinion about the major GOP leaders nationwide. So the point here is... what's it going to take for either party to win the next election?
I have to agree that for the Dems to do anything, they're going to have to unify a bit and not just be the "not-GOP" party. They have to have some opinions on things, and stick to them. Just because I don't like Bush doesn't mean I automatically hate all Republicans and trust all Democrats. They have to give me a little more to go on.
I think (hope?) that the next election, while the parties will still do all their partisan bullshit, the people will be more interested in voting for qualified candidates, no matter what party they're in. But I am afraid that they'll just vote for whoever is opposite of the incumbent.
