Look, I don't say there will never be another democratic candidate for president. I don't say that every single person who ever voted on the left is going into a monostery {buddist, christian or otherwise}, or that all libs are going to give up their struggles. I'm just saying that it will be a pathetic, losing fight. There never will be the kind of liberal voter reg drive there was this time -- and this one helped the GOP as much as Kerry. Soros is going to think twice before he opens his checkbook up again, in a campaign that is money down a rat-hole. This was a watershed political experience. The most important election since the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864. Likely, there won't be another as long as we live. And likely the democrats cannot really come back from this unless they re-make themselves entirely into something different. And WHEN they re-make themselves into something different --- Well then they won't be the same. It's over.
