Much as it pains me to speak well of the Democrats, I am 100% sure there 
will be a Republican rout this fall.

BTW, a typo made gibberish of the end of my last post, viz.:  "The Vietnam 
war had such a dazzling succession of 'lights at the end of the tunnel' it 
sometimes seemed like a strobe show.  But none of these had any but lasting 
effect in reviving public support for the war or its advocates."  That 
should read:  "... none of these had any lasting effect ..."
