“If by chance the Repubs win in 2010, will they again disappoint us?”
If the GOP retains the same leadership in the house, senate and RNC...they will disappoint.
A big point that this article fails to mention is that at the same time Klinton was overstepping his power, Newt Gingrich was pushing his 10 GOP points.
There was GOP leadership then. There is no leadership now.
The House has excellent Republican leadership. We have a very disciplined Congressional delegation, more so than in any Congress I can recall, even in 1993.
And it goes without saying, but they are far more disciplined than the Democrats.
We do not have a Gingrich, true, because our present Republican leadership is low key. Perhaps too low-key, but that remains to be seen. Gingrich had to get into highly-publicized squabbles with the Democrats to generate enthusiasm against Congressional Democrats. The Democrats seem to be doing that chore all by themselves this time.
The Senate is another matter.
