So if polling is any indication, it seems like the American public is finally figuring out that the war in Iraq was a dumb idea by a bad president. Unfortunately, over 2800 Americans had to die for people to come to this conclusion. I'm not an ITMFA person, but I really hope the Democrats take the House and Senate, so that maybe Bush will only be able to take away half of our civil liberties in the next 2 years, and we can get people in the armed forces out of the quagmire the incompetent Republicans got them into.

A bit closer to home, I'm happy to see the recent polls showing Paul Hodes either ahead or just behind of Charlie Bass. I used to not really mind Bass - he seemed like a social libertarian/fiscal conservative in the traditional New Hampshire republican mold. But ever since Bush has been president, Bass has come down on the his side of every single vote that mattered. I encourage all of you who are reading this and who live in New Hampshire's 2nd District (all three of you?) to vote for Paul Hodes on Tuesday.
