Former President Bill Clinton's top political strategists, who had a front-row seat for the Republicans' 1994 electoral successes, said Wednesday that the GOP today is peaking too early and is unlikely to see a repeat performance this November.
Pollster Stan Greenberg said a "change election," as political scientists call major shifts in electoral preferences, already happened when Republican Scott Brown's surprise victory for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat, and between then and November, Democrats will have gained back ground.
"When we look back on this, we're going to say Massachusetts is when 1994 happened," Mr. Greenberg said.

This is the same Clinton who predicted BO would get a 10 point positive bounce from the health care monstrosity.

Damn, that was a disappointing campaign. When will the GOP ever learn? Yup.
Conservative bona-fides matter most, but electability matters too.

I might add, “It’s the socialism, stupid.”
Eyes are finally opening to the man who ran as a moderate.

Looking at the wrong curve. It's the democrat “bottom out” you have to pay attention to. Stagnant economy, high unemployment, debt out the wazoo; I'd say there's plenty of room before the bottom. You can be flat lined if the other party is in a screaming descent into the abyss.

I love it when Lieberal Media Lies so sweetly.
They want We The People to think that we’ve peaked too early.

A couple Rat schmucks give their opinion how the Rats will survive in November because the anger is now?

They’ll probably try to dig up Ike’s corpse and run a “Weekend at Bernie’s” campaign.

The problem with that little piece of propaganda is that many *other* states haven’t yet had *their* Scott Brown moment.And they don’t intend to be denied.

The public will remember this in the fall. Yes, we will. The ones who make it a point to vote will NOT forget.

The GOP aren't so much peaking, as the Dems are diving...
...Hopefully at some point, soon, we'll be able to jettison the Demonrats from our Nation's helm, so they don't take us all down with them.

Yep, the GOP has peaked. No need to say more; just move along now since there is nothing more to see here. Just ignore all of the tea parties. Just ignore that the democrats are shaking in their boots to have an open town hall. Yep, the GOP has peaked! sarc/off

We didn’t get a choice last time, and honestly, I’m not seeing who would give us a real choice next time.
