I agree miss priss. I was thinking to myself the other day, the events of Sept. 11th have pretty much guaranteed Bush another term in office. He's coming up on the halfway point of his first term, and I can't really think of anything he's accomplished sofar (besides the "war on terrorism" and that was pretty much because it was thrown in the U.S.'s lap...if someone does know of his achievements, I really would like to know). I myself am a registered democrat, but I do take the time to look over what each candidate stands for--but this year I felt I HAD to do my part to keep congress from turning over to the GOP. I just don't think it's a good idea to have a President, Senate and House all dominated by the same party. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the people who would benefit from the Democratic don't bother to vote.
JJSP01, I'm from MD and I could NOT beleive a republican was voted into office. There hasn't been a republican governor in MD in my lifetime! Interestingly, the new lieutenant gov is a black man--this should be an interesting 4 years.
