The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner by portraying their position as one that finds Bush to be the greater evil than Al Qaeda.
The American public, in general, are sheep. They need herding, and to feel secure. The republicans give this to them. The feeling of security. Meanwhile, the Democrats have made it fairly clear that their priorities are with global warming, pollution control, etc. - not with terrorism. While these are noble causes that warrant attention, they do not align with the American public's priorities.
I find it unfortunate that the Democrats aren't providing real competition to the incumbent party, because this puts the Republican administration in a place that allows them more power than any one group of people should hold.
I can only hope that the Democrats can get back in touch with reality. Both the reality of the modern world, and that of their voter base. The poor and the working class are not concerned about global warming. They want a secure place to raise their family and prosper. This is the core of the Republican platform, and is the primary reason that Republicans will win the 08 election.
