If you say so.

Good point. Of course I never said all Dems believe the way Byrd and the other leaders do, but he did in fact _represent_ the party, as he was elected to do so. That fact that republicans voted for W a second time kind of makes your argument I think. Dems kept electing Byrd for sixty years. If Bush had only been elected once, hey mistakes happen. He was elected twice though.

Both parties elect bad representatives. Hopefully the next one won't be as bad as the last few, if only by not doing much, ala Clinton. Clinton didn't fuck things up much because he was too busy cheating on his wife, denying that he cheated on wife getting people to lie about him cheating on wife, etc. That worked out okay because as long as he was busy fucking women he wasn't fucking us.

It's hard to tell before an election if someone will be good. Governor Bush was widely regarded as a very good governor, so 51% of us thought he'd be a good president. We were wrong. Another 51% thought Obama would pull us out of the slump. Boy were we wrong. On the other hand, two young kids named Roosevelt and Kennedy were great, as was a Hollywood actor named Reagan. There's really no telling how these candidates would do.
