We still got some primary picks to sort out.. but if the GoP can stay the heck out of the way instead of trip itself up, they might actually come out of the surge on top..
Still plenty of time for them to blow it.
Ya, das is gut, nicht wahr?
Yes, the only ones who can screw this up are the Beltway RINOs. And don’t put it past them to do it deliberately. Too many of them are quite comfortable with their minority status and their perks. They will cause us much more grief in the end than the Democrats.
I think Bobby Jindal and Chris Christie are responsible for the point bump. Heroes.
GOP is leading because the RAT Party represents MARXISM at its worst. Many in the GOP are still to the left of center and not one in hundred is to the real right.
It’s barely June... that’s a long ways away. Most folks aren’t paying much attention to polls or candidates... but I do feel a little better than I did a months ago.
Poll: GOP grows stronger in generic congressional ballot

Riding a wave of unhappiness among independents, Republicans have increased their lead over Democrats in the preference poll for Congress, the Gallup organization reported Wednesday.
Republicans were preferred over Democrats by 49% to 43% in the generic vote in which those surveyed were asked to pick a party rather than a candidate. It is the largest lead by Republicans in the 2010 midterm election year, according to the polling organization.
The results are based on telephone interviews of 1,594 voters between May 24 and 30. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.
The GOP's continuing strength in the generic ballot suggests a strong showing in the congressional battle this year, though it is unclear whether Republicans can recapture either chamber. In general, the party out of power runs strongly against the president's party. The latest results coincide with a general drop in approval for President Obama, according to most polls.
Unfortunately, we also know how “accurate” these polls tend to turn out. While I have no doubts that many in the US are beginning to wake up, and that voter sentiment is turning rabidly against the “establishment” and Democrats who are literally killing this nation - we also know that many elections are easily stolen. Al Franken is one glaring example I can think of. We cannot sit by and get complacent (just as the Republican model generally turns out).
The Democrats were climbing, but they’re back down. I think that the BP fiasco could be their Katrina.
