Glenn Reynolds lists his reasons why the GOP might lose the '06 election. I'm not sure what will happen in November, but I'm hopeful. While I agree with some of his choices, I find it very odd that he leaves off the single most important reason that the Republicans might lose in November: IRAQ. With the blood of so many Iraqis and American forces littering the battlefield, I find this astonishing.

I guess it's hard to admit when you've had a hand in cheer-leading such a colossal blunder. I would have thought he'd at least mention the handling of the war as an out for himself---or maybe include the bad liberal media, but not a whisper.

You can write your own list about the GOP's problems which might include Iraq, Katrina, corruption, Scooter Libby, Foley, torture, NSA warrantless wiretapping…etc

Kevin writes up a nice post about what went wrong for the GOP.
