Kinda says it, no?

The political pendulum in American politics swung away from the right yesterday, putting an end to the 12-year Republican Revolution on Capitol Hill and delivering a sharp rebuke of President Bush and the Iraq war.
The GOP reign in the House that began with Newt Gingrich in a burst of vision and confrontation in 1994 came crashing down amid voter disaffection with congressional corruption....
Overall, 59 percent of voters surveyed in a news media consortium series of exit polls yesterday expressed dissatisfaction or anger with the Bush administration; 37 percent said they cast their vote to express opposition to Bush, compared with 23 percent who were voting to support him. Fifty-six percent of voters said they support withdrawing some or all U.S. troops from Iraq, which will increase the pressure on Washington to switch gears at a minimum and probably embolden Democrats pushing for a pullout.

"So far, I think things have gone nearly as well as could be expected.
Race hustler Michael Steele was crushed like a rancid Hydrox. Mike DeWine and Ken Blackwell got their asses kicked. Chris Chocola got privatized. J.D. Hayworth's bloated red face turned purple, then blue. God told Katherine Harris to go f*** herself. Carol Sherwood will get to spend more time with her husband. Curt Weldon has plenty free time to consult with his defense team and psychiatric professionals. And the remains of Rick Santorum's career were passed around by the Santorum children and then buried in the back yard of that Pennsylvania home they never use.
That lying little putz Dicky Pombo may lose too. [Note: he did!]
Brit Hume looked like he was going to cry, and not just when Michelle "Bugs" Malkin read her third grade book report to him.
The only major Republican win so far was in Connecticut."
Roger Ailes (the good one)
