Regardless of what happens between now and '08 I really do think that the past several years of war, combined with the whole "Bush Lied" mantra about WMD's have sealed the GOP's presidential doom. Not to mention I'm still failing to see a Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton amongst the Republicans, somebody who commands a widespread appeal to the party faithful
and beyond.
I'm thinking of what happened to the British Conservative Party in 1945. Their missteps and misdeeds during the mid-late 1930's (among other things) led to a stunning and massive Labour victory...despite Churchill's strong wartime leadership.
