four years for the current regime to become entrenched Ah, so you're talking about the Republican party in general, not Bush personally? From the outside the situation looks like a conflict between two individuals more than two parties. And the liberal types seem to be more of the opinion that Bush is evil and disastrous for America and the world, not so much that Republicans are evil. (The latter opinion would be frighteningly anti-democratic, I think.)
But if hypothetical-you don't like the Republican government right now, it makes far more sense to vote Democrat now, than to wait four years until the Democrats might hypothetically field a better candidate.
