“Unless something remarkable happens, the GOP is going to get slammed in the congressional elections.”
Which is amazing when you consider that the current Democratically controlled Congress is “enjoying” one of the lowest congressional approval ratings ever.
That would be a testimonial to how much people are tired of the corruption, debauchery (Foley) and lack of backbone of "socialist lite" party.
I had a friend who is politically unaware over last night. As far as she was concerned, the president is responsible for everything, and she is marginally conservative.
Most people don’t realize that the House is where everything originates. She also believes Obama is “very honest” and he goes to church, so he “has to be pro-life”.
She is probably a very good indicator of the sheep vote.

Understand the dynamics. By Bush+Cheney remaining in office after Nov 2006 everything bad that happens in country or congress does is automatically Republicans fault. Democrats are seen as party OUT-OF-POWER. All he acheived since then is a few vetos and a temporary very good effort in Iraq, that gets little or no credit. His legacy will be losing everything good (like tax cuts and Iraq) except Alito and Roberts. If they had resigned in Dec 2006 Pelosi would take over and negative spotlight on rats for past few years. I always thought Clinton was a jerk for hanging on after 1994 but with Bush it was much worse for us. McCain winning would really make things worse for SO many reasons.
I suspect some of that dissatisfaction comes from the left who are not happy that their congress didn’t cut and run in Iraq and impeach Bush on day one.

All problems are blamed on the occupant of the White House, even if they are actually caused by a Congress of the other party.
Republicans have given voters nothing to vote for. They are lame.
The GOP is in disarray. They can't even get a mediocre campaign together.
13% approval rating.....that’s the dim-controlled Congress’ approval rating.
Rupert Murdoch must be smoking crack if he thinks this Muslim apostate Obama-lama-ding-dong is going to win in a landslide.
The economy’s in a down-turn? If, God forbid, this communist Obama becomes president and imposes his left wing agenda, forget a recession, we will have a full-fledged depression.
