Mid-term elections of 2006: GOP boon or bust?

Even through the GOP has seen better days; this mid term election will give them a much needed boon. Yes, that is correct, even though the Iraq war is on going and CIA leaks are dominating corporate media, the GOP will rise once again and thwart the Demo’s chances in 2006. Simply put the Demo’s learned nothing from the 2004 election and have sat back without critically looking at altering their party structure.

The Democratic Party is varied and well rounded in belief and position; however it lacks the hierarchal organization needed to get the critical 10-15% swing vote. The GOP is masterful at “getting out the vote” through a lucid and simplistic power configuration of party leaders at every level. Redundancy is kept to a minimum and counties are systematically divided into quadrants and no door is left uncanvassed.

On the other hand, Demo’s organization is a reflection of their party: diverse, scattered, personalized and diffused. Redundancy is a cornerstone of the Demo’s party structure and the reliance on volunteers is suspect at best. Moreover, volunteers are no match for paid seasoned GOP county leaders. This will never beat a party which is well oiled, well organized and competent in “getting out the vote”. Hence, the mid-term elections of 2006 will be a much needed boost to GOP public image and recharge "the mandate" of a beleaguered administration.
