well well well it's allll over so they say....
However, I think one of the reasons why the Republicans had an overwhelming victory is because of 9/11. I think it is down right sad how Bush played on the empathy of people around the U.S.. He didn't actually emphasize it himself BUT people did use the phrase "help the president fight the war on terror" in their campaign ads. To me, this basically plays on the 9/11 fiasco. Hardly any republican candidate targeted the issues of the failing economy or why did the focus shifted from Osama to Sadam in this "war on terror". Not only that, health care, reparations, and other issues related to minorities, the elderly, or the poor was poorly addressed, Another thing I think worked in their favor was most of the candidates were young(er) and beat their incumbents due to their opponents lack of savy.
Oh well, Granholm(Dem.,from MI) won.....
