If a republican wins the presidential election in 2008, what excuses will the democrat left use this time?

That more people voted Republican than Democrat.  The Democrats have not yet learned that the country is in fact becoming more conservative each day.  This would not be a problem if the Democrats would run a more moderate candidate with a moderate platform.  The reason this will not happen is Howard Dean is chairman of the Democrat party and will have a liberal platform that only a liberal candidate can even try to sell.

Long way off at this time...best scenario for Senator Obama is to accept Mark Warner's offer to be VP nominee in 2008 ('electability' being Senator Clinton's issue).  Republicans then look to make best possible showing to recover from weak 2nd Bush term and nominate the Democrat's favorite Republican John McCain who narrowly wins (similar voting pattern as 2004) but then Senator Obama well placed for 2012/2016.

A Democrat.  With Bush's ratings falling so low the Republican Party is going to take a beating in the next presidential election.

It depends on what your definition of winning is...\n\nTo a democrat, if you have to use dishonest methods to get into office, then you have won the battle but lost the war.\n\nTo a republican, they consider winning as getting into power no matter whom they hurt, how much they lie, or the depth of corruption that is eroding our country's values.\n\nWhat shocks me is that they will blame the so called liberals for the downfall of American values but all the while, they lie, cheat and steal. AND the big one is, and Rove has admitted this, is they purposely use hate and prejudicial issues as a vote motivator to get ppl to vote those prejudices and forget all other issues. This has proven to work. \n\nMy point is: they do these things and use those methods then wonder why our country is going to the dogs.

Both parties are not in touch with americans and I do not see any 'good' coming from this.  I see the Democrats as gloating over the Republicians and mudding the waters so they might win more seats and the presidential election in 2008.

He doesn't have a hope.  He'd have to get Republicans to vote for him.  The populist Republicans would vote for any third party candidate first, even knowing that would put the Democrat candidate in power.  All the spending of big business won't buy their vote now, and Democrats aren't about to cross lines for him.

Bush has already tried to blame the Democrats for his failed Immigration reform, despite his party having control of both houses of congress.\nI think they will try to blame it on any Democrat that is handy: Governors, Mayors, Congress, and if all else fails: Clinton.

WELL YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG TRACK RECORD OF BEING TOUGH ON NATIONAL SECURITY, WHICH THE DEMS NEVER HAD, AND SAYING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ECONOMY, WHICH IS BOOMING. THE DEMS DONT HAVE A CHANCE ON THAT ONE. THE DEMS WILL TELL YOU THE ECONOMY IS WEAK, WHICH WE ALL KNOW ISNT. IN 08 I BET EVERYTHING WILL BE GREAT AS TIME GOES ON, AND THE DEMS WILL SAY THEY WANT CHANGE, BUT CHANGE TO WHAT? FROM GREAT TO HORRIBLE? LMFAO!

I think the majority of the U.S. at the moment is republican. For '08 I can't see a democrat winning. If another disliked republican administration takes over than by '12 no doubt dems will hold the white house. Republicans will probably hold house + senate in '08 as well.

I'm not voting for a Republican in 2008.  I don't want a successor to Bush.  To me, this nation doesn't feel like America anymore and to find what is left of it I have to look to the people, not the government.

If the republicans win this election, expect the economy to keep rising, more tax cuts, and no more terrorist attacks.\n\nIf the dems. win, expect higher taxes, and more attacks against us.

The Democrats will do what they always do- attack the other candidate rather than address the issues. They will bury their heads even further into the ground, all the better for when they end up taking it up the *** again. Then they will blame all of the Evil Right Wing Christian Conspirators who are trying to "take over" the country that they are incapable of running themselves.

That is a trick question!\n\nThe democrats don't have a plan

I am principally a Democrat. BUt if the Democrat is too liberal, i will consider the GOP candidiate.

Oh, I'm a liberal, and I admit it. Here's the thing; the ones who switched from voting Republican in 2004 to voting Democratic in 2006 view themselves as independents.

We'd still be hearing Rush screaming about it today if the Liberals had stolen the election instead of the Republicans.\n\nAnd then, if the Dems had stolen the next election as well, like the GOP did, boy oh boy would they be crying foul.
