SO: The Democrats got shellacked in Mississippi and Kentucky, and will have the same happen in a week or two in Louisiana. Florida will almost certainly go Republican in 2004 on the basis of Jeb Bush's re-election in 2002 and the open Senate seat, which will drive GOP voters to the polls. The Republicans seem to have perfected their own 72-hour strategy, neutralizing the advantage Democrats used to have in getting out the vote. And McCain-Feingold, if it's upheld by the Supreme Court, promises to give Republicans a huge hard money advantage over Democrats. With this in mind, I ask the following question, inviting you all to chime in as you like:
Have we entered a new period of GOP electoral dominance?

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
