The truth is, hardly anyone watched the Republican debate because there's nothing new that the GOP candidates are saying that the voters haven't already heard -- and they're in no mood to hear any more defenses of Bush's re-run of Vietnam in Iraq. O'Reilly is living in denial of the reality that the Republicans are now the minority party -- Democrats outnumber Republicans and independents outnumber both parties -- and the GOP is likely to remain the minority party for a long time to come. So what if Bush's war still enjoys the backing of the majority of Republicans? They number only a third of the electorate; without independents -- who are breaking 2-1 against the war -- the Republicans don't have a snowball's chance in a blast furnace of keeping the White House in 2008.
