Depressing, isn't it?
On the up side it will probably lead to a strong democratic win next time around. I imagine the next four years will be pretty hard for America as the consequences of Bush's economic mismanagement and the situation in Iraq come home to roost.
I doubt Bush will start another war however, he simply won't have the money, manpower or international support to do it. Unless that is America suffers another big terrorist incident?

Re: It's a Sad Day in America!
Where do the 'republican' and 'democrat' monikers on American parties come from anyway? They just seem meaningless tags to me?

Re: It's a Sad Day in America!
Maybe, but both Whig and Tory are nick-names rather than actual party names: Liberals and Conservatives - their real names - and Labour, for that matter, are names derived from features of their policies and agendas. I was wondering whether there was such a thing for the republicans and democrats - even if they don't hold true any longer?
