HOME AGAIN

Returned last night from my trip to Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, and Raleigh-Durham, and now I'm home for good until after the New Year. I'll be catching up on the news and posting as usual starting tonight.

One interesting result from my trip: I've talked to numerous staunch Republicans who are simply fed up with Bush and his policies. The bad news is they have no intention of voting Democrat. But if their sentiments keep them away from the polls in 2006, that still bodes well for Democrats making serious inroads in Congress and statehouses.
