Well the Republican party suffered a pretty resounding defeat in yesterday's elections. I guess the Dem's will try to claim some sort of mandate from that, but that's to be expected.
Some observations:
The Republican party lost the election rather than the Democrats winning it. The party failed to pay attention to its base, Conservatives with Traditional Values. They also failed to rule when they had the chance. The democrats won't be as shy about advancing their agenda!!
The northeastern liberal republican candidates took a heavy hit. Democrat candidates who won ran as conservatives!!
When Republicans lose an election they blame themselves. When Democrats lose they blame everybody else. At least we will be somewhat spared the machinations of the 500 some lawyers the DNC had lined up to fight close races!!
It will be interesting to see if the Democrats will be united, or if the gulf between Lieberman conservatives and Dean leftists will finally split them irretrievably.
Rumsfeld just stepped down as Secretary of Defense. Why is Bush firing him now?? Doesn't make any sense to me at all!!
God is sovereign, and the destiny of nations is in His hands. Pray for our nation! Pray that God will suspend his judgement, and that the Holy Spirit will move in our country to restore us to righteousness.
