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.

Looks like Smith may be the last Republican to hold statewide office. What will it take to get these states competitive again.

The more I think of it Washington was right - these political parties and the tides one way or another they move are a big mistake. It no longer becomes about character it becomes about feelings, climate, and party.

Someone hit the nail on the head. To ignorant voters congress=federal gov federal gov=Bush.
