The Dem's should have lost this election.
Instead, they reelected Carter, and now have ensured that the Republicans will win the next few elections.
No. The Republicans are wedded to Caribou Barbie. Their electoral chances for the next ten years are slim to nil.

Let's look at one of Biden's pet theories in hindsight. Would Iraq be a better place today if it were partitioned into three regions?
Yes, and in fact that's how it's eventually going to wind up, whether we like it or not.

I rather doubt it.  Even so, she could probably beat Obama.

:yes: I've been saying for quite some time that the Republic will fall shortly, probably within a generation or two. :)
Democracy is inherently unsound.

I agree with you 100 per cent. And American democracy with its "scratch my back, and I'll scratch you back," style of governing is increasingly unsound.

I rather doubt it, so long as Turkey is willing to use force to prevent the existance of Kurdistan.

Huh?  There was no way in hell the Dems were going to lose this past election.  The Democrats could have run Hitler.

@ Neil
What makes you think all three regions will actually be independent? :ph34r:

He was already taken, though. :lmfao:

I don't see how democrats will be able to look voters in the eye if nothing passes.

Never stopped them in the past!

Do you really think that Turkey would want to conquer Kurdistan?  Why add more Kurds?

No, they will do everything in their power to ensure that Iraq stays together.

So, his approval ratings are down around 55%,

All presidents suffer a dip in their approval ratings during their first year.  It's part of the transition from being a candidate to being a president.  This won't make him an ineffective president.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Are you sure? Matt Drudge overlapped the graphs of Carter and Obama approval ratings and I swear the sky started falling.  :cry:
