I think it's as simple as the fact that the economy is in the crapper and people want change, so they voted for change. I don't think it's a mandate for Bush or Republicans per se. Nor do I think the new regime is going to turn the world around or upside down as some of the others do. The vote comes up again in 2004 - how much can get done in two years? Not a lot. And then what will happen? People will vote for change again, and there ya' go. I voted for some Repubs and some Dems...I tried to vote for the person and not the party, I don't think this generalization stuff does anybody any good - like Joni says, it just creates a borderline.
