Scandals lost the election for the Liberals in Canada. Were you among the "who cares" crowd for these.
US economy is actually in rough shape, and I'm not sure where you get the idea it is not. GDP growth has slowed each of the past 3 quarters, and now is about half of potential. (1.6% growth in Q3). The housing boom is over and there is a looming disaster when this works its way through the economy. Personal debt levels will probably put a damper on future growth as well, as the US economy is heavily consumer dependant.
Iraq: I doubt few voters care about why it started, but Republicans have certainly shown they can't manage the act of it.
Simple fact is since Republicans have controlled all three elected branches, they have to run on their record. Dems have the same luxury the Conservatives had here in Canada - the current group is a disaster.
