Are the Tides Turning?

Democrats every where want to know... has the time finally come? Bush's approval ratings are below 40% which means Cheney's must have entered negative territory. And the election results are in!

• Democrat Jon Corozine is Governor of New Jersey. So he's a big spending, fat cat banker, but he's a Democrat. We'll take him.


• Democrat Tim Kaine is Governor of Virginia. Let the invasion of the red states begin! The Republican loss is made all the more poignant by the fact that Bush made an 11th hour trip to campaign with his candidate (who's name isn't worth remembering. Ahh the glee I feel.) This election also means that we might have a centralist, southern Democrat (ala Clinton without Sex-gate) run for president. What a relief. Because there is no way Hillary can carry a red, southern state


• Democrat (oh, erm. I mean Republican) Bloomberg re-elected as Mayor of New York. Once a Democrat always a Democrat. If Bloomberg wants to play at being a Republican more power to him, I suppose


• And the Democrat, Mayor of St. Paul lost his re-election bid to another Democrat - why? because he made the mistake of endorsing Bush. Okay. So he probably wasn't a Zell Miller and he just did what everyone else did, but hopefully this will make Democrats think and stop giving in to everything the administration asks for


• The California results aren't in yet, but it looks like there might not be an hasta la vista for the Terminator if his propositions don't pass. I wonder who'll be the next governor. Maybe one of the guys from the West Wing if we are lucky.

Now I would be happy if Ohio and Indiana would become a happy blue states like the rest of the MidWest. Why do they insist upon being Republican? Sure conservative values are important, but when has the current administration helped either in terms of jobs or the general economy the current administration. Stop believing the Cheney propaganda! You are not better off with this administration.

It would also be fabulous if Kwame Kilpatrick lost his re-election bid for Mayor of Detroit. Detroit is already the butt of enough jokes without a mayor known more for his gold chains, parties, womanizing, and abuse of petty cash. Can we have a Coleman Young again?

Also for the very few of you who read this... please know that it was Bush who turned me into a rabid liberal. Before I was quite happy in the malaise of upper-middle class Republican-dom.
