McCain is so far down in the polls and is running such a dirty campaign that he is bringing the other Repubs. down with him. It looks like the Dems will have control over the house and the white house. But they also might get a filibuster proof 60 votes in the senate which is really important.
For the next 4-8 years at least the repubs will have no control in our government. Three things could arise out of the devastation.
- The republicans would not look inward and realise that their failed policies were to blame, not Obama. They will continue to spout of hate and tax breaks for the rich. When the economy is fixed by the next election they will try to play the hate and fear card and win some seats back.
- The Repubs could realise that their downfall was due to some failed policies and forgetting about who the were. The would go back to being fiscal conservatives (58% of the National debt is from the three Bush terms). Let conservatism lead their way by promising to cut back and give the government back to the states. This might work but is not likely to happen.
- Also, a third party could finally gain some footing. Running on the fiscal conservative but social liberal platform. They could rise above the republicans and compete and we might truly have a 3 party system.
