Accountability
Regardless of my guess that the Republicans will overreach for the next two years, undivided government is a wonderful way to produce accountability. If they do well, the voters know who to reward. If a united government doesn’t effectively govern, whining that it was someone else’s fault won’t work. George Bush is now the leader of a party that is responsible for the governance of the United States. Do you think he is up to it?
There is a good result, Doonesbury and the Boondocks will be great.
Oh, and can someone start mentioning the crazy majority leader in the attic? I think it is important to vet the family in charge, don’t you? Additionally, for all of the calls for retribution on Jeffords by ending the dairy subsidy. You might check with the incoming majority leader about how Suiza Foods feels about that. Or more correctly check with Suiza Foods about how Tom DeLay will think about that.
