Election ‘06 matters to everyone By Carol Platt Liebau

For weeks now, even months, Democrats and the mainstream media have had their fun. They’ve gleefully predicted a Republican debacle on Election Day, savored each sordid revelation in the Mark Foley scandal, and trumpeted every poll that seems to support their own foreordained conclusions about the outcome. But no narrative has been more cherished than the supposed defection of formerly Republican voters from President Bush and their party’s nominees.
If the Democrats are counting on depressed Republican turnout for victory, they’d better reconsider. It’s far too soon for them to begin “measuring the drapes” (as President Bush put it in last week’s press conference) for their new offices – because the more the press treats a Democratic sweep as an electoral inevitability, the more that even the most disgruntled conservatives are forced to focus on what defeat would really mean.
