Mike, Although I am from NH, I agree with you that the MA Governors race made little sense. On the other hand, nationally, the mood of the people was sent to Washington in a strong message. No doubt the Republicans are ticked but, even a fool could see, we the people, are not at all satisfied with the situation in Iraq. Maybe now the President will finally dump Rumsfeld who IMO has been an embarressment to the administration. But on the lighter side, if Rumsfeld were gone, who would think for Bush???
