Considering how the GOP has demonized the Dems the past decade, how are you going to spin it if they continue to have mainstream appeal?

Neither did the Democratic party. It was a few left-wing nuts...who's only audience would be Nebe were it not for Rush Limbaugh and his clones trying to strip the American flag of it's blue stripes in the name of big advertising revenues.

It was the GOP that branded a vote for Democrats as a vote for terrorisim.

I guess the people didn't get the memo

I think you're misreading the situation. There were still plenty of reports of voting problems and potential fraud.

It's an off year election for one and the Dem victory in the House was pretty clear cut though...the outrage has more been over close races with suspect results in big elections.

Spence, if it was turned around and the repubs won with the ame %s, you'd have Al Sharpton on CNN complaining that minorities couldnt vote, you'd have accusations of fraud, broken machines etc. There is NO way you can argue that.

Don't agree.

If this was a close race I think you'd see that behavior from either side...the last few Presidential elections were very close. And while I wouldn't say there was wholesale fraud, there are some serious unresolved claims from 2004.

Had the GOP managed to dramatically increase their position the Dems would have blamed Kerry and gone away.
