So what? I think this is one of the biggest concerns we should
have. Your uniqueness position, one of the advantages you cite for the
pollution topic, could get destroyed if the Democrats do swing the races,
as they could from what I've read. Democrats have always maintained
regulation as their prime method of solving environmental problems. This
trend towards deregulation is evident in calls to end Big Government, but
it still has never been a Democrat position to use that idea on the
environ. Also, it seems probable to me that if the Dems got a majority
they would either return to their old familiar tactics of regulation and
/or simply get their way, i.e. not compromise like they do now.
I agree with you Becky; seems to me people will vote for what they want
to vote for. The pundits have no power!
