host, if you didn't take the 2004 elections as a reason to question what you "know," why should people who don't agree with you take the 2006 elections that way?
Elections are very blunt and crude instruments and thus their outcomes can carry multiple meanings. Don't read too much into any one particular result. Especially since this last one was in many states quite close. A trend that will persist over time is much more meaningful. Historically, the most meaningful trend of American politics in the last 50 years is a preference for divided government.
BTW, I try to keep my posts rather short. I practice law for a living, and though most people think lawyers are verbose, I find that if I can't get my point across simply and quickly, I have lost the listener. That's because judges are busy people. Around here most people are busy, too.
