smg01An interesting commentary at msnbc. I'm not sure I'm so optimistic--particularly on the domestic/environmental/energy front--but I think there is something to what he's saying.
....there is every possibility that Bush’s second term might prove to be different from his first, especially in foreign policy. And it won’t be more radical (that may not be possible). Indeed, perhaps the only consolation for Democrats who saw Bush as a dangerous departure from centrist foreign policy is that he must now clean up the mess he has made. And 51 percent at the polls will do nothing to do achieve that.
And this from Anna Quindlen
