Be sure you read John Fund's piece in WSJ today. Republicans lost plenty of local seats in legislatures. I've long been of the opinion that the GOP "tide" came from the top and not the bottom. They have NOT built a party from the ground up and they better get going on it. One interesting stat in voter breakdown is the 40% of union households that voted for Bush in spite of the union "leadership" stealing their dues money and giving same to Kerry.
