Summing Up the November Elections and Republican Failures

From Politic Wire, Howard Fineman, of Newsweek, sums up everything that is going on with this quote...

Howard Fineman: "An Iraq war that has cost us nearly half trillion dollars -- and the good will of the world -- might not have done it. Runaway federal spending that allowed the national debt to reach $8.5 trillion might not have done it. George Bush's low approval ratings, the lack of comprehensive immigration reform, the historical pattern of an anti-incumbent 'six-year itch' in presidencies, the cascade of stories about administration ineptitude and dissembling and congressional financial and lobbying corruption -- none of these issues seemed destined to end the Republicans' 12-year reign in Congress."

"Then came the Foley Scandal. If the Democrats can't take the Hill now, they deserve to go the way of the Whigs."
