I learned a long time ago that when it came to the world of politics, whom the gods would destroy, they first curse with power. Think Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congress of 1992. The Democrats’ unchecked dominance led to tax hikes and Hillary healthcare, which ushered in the era of Newt Gingrich and my freshman class of 1994, whose arrogance and over-reaching resurrected Clinton in 1996, which led to Impeachment in 1998, which led to Bush in 2000.

Bush and Republicans dominated Washington in 2000, made surprising gains in 2002, and stunned the political world in 2004 by gaining seats in the House and Senate, while their President did what most believed couldn’t be done: He got re-elected. Now the Democratic Party seems more suited to guest star in the new ABC drama “Lost” than to regain power anytime soon.

Zell Miller is right. The Democratic Party is a national party no more.

But give Ed Gilliespie, Ken Mehlman or myself the keys of the DNC for four years and we could once again put Democrats in power in the House and Senate. That’s because Republicans understand middle America - national Democrats don’t.
