The Republicans have an opportunity, if the pound it home, day after day between now and election day, and don't revert to their usual timidity.

It’s a close race now with 3 more months to go. All the Republicans have to do is keep pointing out that Dumbocrats do not want to drill, and that BO is a Euro-loving, socialist, racist Muslim.

We can hope. There actually is a realistic pickup in Oregon’s 5th congressional district. The incumbent Dem is retiring. The GOP holds a registration edge in the district. Maybe we can get a more realistic balance in Oregon after this cycle. Truth is the state is red except for Portland and Eugene.

It appears that people are tired of high oil prices. I think they feel like we’ve made progress on the environment and new technologies are on the way. Why not drill for enough oil to make life easier and not compromise national security?

Republicans could help their chances by the Obvious: running and governing as CONSERVATIVES.

The Democrats' stubborn opposition to cheap energy supplies is going to end up hurting them as Americans see them to be captive of affluent environmental extremists. Energy drives all other costs and the Democrats have an opportunity to get on the right side of the American people by embracing drilling at home, clean coal and nuclear power. But they doing exactly the opposite - which could come to blow up in their face in November.

Democrats May Not Fair So Well in November

Or fare so well, either.

I AM SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU THAT ANYONE WOULD EVEN THINK THAT THIS ISN'T A DEMOCRAT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

Pleezeeeeeeeeeeee the idea that this was (IT'S NOT ANYMORE IF IT EVER WAS ) a rat year was always a figment of the ratmedia’s imagination as per the 9% approval rating of the ratHOUSE. They could spin all they want but this nonsense was just that nonsense. If he nominated either the beast or barack mcgovern the rat was/is doomed.

If this was truly the headline, the MSM is even more illiterate than I thought. The word they’re looking for is “fare.” “Fair” is never a verb.

-- If the trend continues it's clear that Obama isn't going to win in a landslide, and would probably lose the election.

I've said for some time now that whichever candidate wins in November, they'll win with fewer than 290 electoral votes.

I hope this is right, but it’s hard to give an article much credibility when the headline’s misspelled.

The Democrats also have an opportunity here. Suddenly about face on oil drilling and open ANWR and the coasts. The price of oil will slide significantly on the news and the Democrats will get kudos and hosanna and elected. Once they are in control all over after November, they can take it all back. McCain has to put the demand to drill at fever pitch before the Crats can do all that so he can save some of the credit for himself.
