I think you're right. No matter what side you're on, it's good to have at least two parties to keep each other in check. The repubs are little yapping chihuahuas now and the dems are clearly taking advantage of the one party government they're in now.
After Bush was elected in 2000, the dems were devastated and it seemed like they would never find their way, but they did. Perhaps the same will happen to the repubs. Either that or the conservatives will have to recreate what they had without the republicans, which I hope they can pull off.

A gay candidate is unlikely to go very far. A lesbian is also unlikely to gain much support. So how about a transsexual? A strong intelligent transsexual would appeal to the secret desires of many men, women, conservatives and liberals alike. So who would be a likely candidate? She should be intelligent, witty, willing to kick ass and of course, good looking. Humm, I am thinking of a feisty redhead that doesn't hesitant to flame when necessary. Not only that, she likes guns and trucks! Of course, our darling Fran would fit the bill nicely. Sarah Palin you are toast.  |
Although I do not normally base my vote on which minority hasn't held the office yet (that's why we're in the mess we're in now) Fran would certainly have my vote!
I get dibs on being her intern though
