NOT in denial. When you look at those competitive senator polls, only Santorum is in danger.

It is hard to believe Bush and GOP are having such low approval ratings but no democrap can win.

Only two explanations. Those polls have overestimated democraps or even GOP is not the current favourite, democraps still can not win.

I think something else is happening. The media hates Bush and as a result they are driving down his approval on everything and creating a sour mood in the country.

Now here is where it gets interesting: they are driving down everyone's numbers including the media-they are universally hated.

Now-they are betting that Bush and the Republicans will take the hit for the sour mood and they may be right.
However in a highly polarized country when both sides have to present their sides it will be close.

I believe the base will come home but probably not until October.

Uh, the dems SHOULD be primed to take over in the '06 midterms. Odds are against it simply because the American people HATE liberals. The GOP should run ads showing just exactly who would be taking over the various committees, etc. These are the most kookball leftists in the congress. People like Charles Rangel, John Conyers, Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, Jerrald Nadler.
