politics

I find it hard to disagree with much of anything in commissar's "Why I Am Voting Democratic in 2006" post, though I'm more in the a-pox-on-both-your-houses camp. That's a big reason why I haven't been making many posts on politics or Iraq in the past half-year or so.

I don't think the republic is doomed, as elf and mdlbear believe. The nation is more resilient and powerful than that. But can anyone persuasively argue that we're heading in the right direction...or, for that matter, that either party looks like they have a clue what that "right direction" might be?

I'll tell you what's interesting: coming to Maryland and seeing a whole new set of political makeup. Ads are either bordering on amateurish or slickly produced products of the DNC or RNC. It's a very Democratic state, but interestingly, the Republican running for Sentator is black, so there is a lot of speculation as to how much of the African-American vote he will siphon off from the Democrats. Plus he's got the best commercials (though on the amateur side of the scale).
