Not only do they have an overabundance of hubris but they work together too much. While some decry the Democrats' disorganization and lack of coherent message the Republicans went so far in the other direction that many voters realize that even if they don't think their own representative or senator is that bad a person, when the rubber hits the road they'll cave to the leadership. Maybe enough voters have figured out that if you vote for your nice local Republican you're voting in the current Republican leadership who gave you wonderful moments like the Terry Schiavo fiasco.

Everyone on the sidelines says "Charlie you've got it this time, really!" Then, to everyone's (but my own at least) surprise, Lucy pulls the football away. I'll be happy if lucy keeps the footbal on the ground for charlie to kick, but I'm not counting on it. Maybe after this election the US will finally wake up to the reality of fake elections.
