One Little Victory

Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score

This blog started with the Democrats' loss in 2004. After the 2006 elections, all I can say is all paths lead home. To go from Bush stating that he had "political capital" to burn, to now watching him in effect beg that his new plan in Iraq be supported is an amazing change. The big question is what will the Democrats do with this power. The First 100 hours plan was nice, but there needs to be some form of coherent policy put together by the Democrats, both domestically and internationally, that will show that they are more than Brand B to the Republicans. The 2006 elections gave the Democrats an opening, an opportunity to prove to the general public that their policies are better for all of America. This could lead to the re-capture of the White House in 2008. But there is no mandate from the 2006 elections. Only another chance to score.
