With all due respect to Mr. Tyrrell, I disagree.

House seats have become less competitive over the years as both parties become more and more sophisticated in their gerrymandering, making it far, far more difficult to flip a seat from the party for which it was designed to the opposition. The Democrats did just that.

With that said, it's fair to say that the verdict of this election is not "We want Liberal Rule."

For the Democrats to claim that mandate, they would have had to run on something more substantive than "Republicans suck, and we're not Republicans."

p>What happened is pretty easy to describe: br> -- Voters to Republicans: "You guys are fired." br> -- Voters to Democrats: "You guys get two years to show us you deserve the job." br> -- Bradly Roger Bettin, Sr. br> Cocoa, Florida /p> p> Thank you for your words of encouragement. In these dark days, when even Rumsfeld and Bush wobble and weave, we need to hear words of reason to steady our resolve. The media drumbeat within their self-created bubble seems to have engulfed the whole country. However, like all bubbles, the walls are thin and transparent. We anxiously await the revelation of the Democrat party's true colors. br> --
