I’ve never seen a poll with Smith behind.

This is so frustrating. We keep losing our grip in regions of this country. We are becoming platooned in the South and sinking everywhere. I don’t simply see it as an issue of conservatism. The entire party needs to be reenergized and retool a la the “New Republican Party” of 1975.

Smith trailing.

What makes no sense is how the GOP allows a single-digit popularity rodent-run Congress get away unscathed. The rodents are the ones in control, not the GOP, and the public needs to be reminded of “PelosiReid” and the high gas prices every moment of the day.

For them to be gaining in such an environment would be like during Watergate the GOP winning landslide numbers. It’s insane.
