Interesting article by David Broder in WaPo, on the parallels between the Bush/Rove strategy in Texas where Bush led the Republican party from an overwhelmed minority into complete dominance in only three election cycles. If Broder is right, the Dems had better watch out. Bush's performance in Texas was truly stunning -- each election after his first was a Democratic bloodbath. After their second shutout, the Democrat party basically took a pass on the 2000 election to regroup and strategize for 2002 -- where even with substantial DNC money and their strongest candidates in years they were beaten as bad as ever.
