But, 4 years will be all they see as the country will remember what having a Democratic controlled government is like and will raise hell for 4 years until the next election cycle. It will most likely be another Republican landslide.
Of course I could be wrong. For our countries sake, I kind of hope I am.
McG, How do you come to your conclusions? It certainly isn't from knowing history.

REPUBLICANS vs. DEMOCRATS ON THE ECONOMY....Did you know that Democratic presidents are better for the economy than Republicans? Sure you did. I pointed this out two years ago, back when my readership numbered in the dozens, and more recently Michael Kinsley ran the numbers in the LA Times and came to the same conclusion.
The results are simple: Democratic presidents have consistently higher economic growth and consistently lower unemployment than Republican presidents. If you add in a time lag, you get the same result. If you eliminate the best and worst presidents, you get the same result. If you take a look at other economic indicators, you get the same result. There's just no way around it: Democratic administrations are better for the economy than Republican administrations.
