Knowing the GOP, they will try to reach across the aisle and try to build a coalition to pass Amnesty for the Illegals...
The right track/wrong track question is far too vague to be useful. Anyone who isn’t satisfied with, for example, how far left the government has taken the country will answer “wrong track”, but that includes not only conservatives who think things have gone too far, but hard leftists who think things haven’t gone far enough. You almost always get a “wrong track” majority.
This question is only of use to an organization with an agenda, looking for an excuse to put pressure on the population.
The “Democrats” in power in Washington DC are not Democrats. They are Social Communists. No more shilly shalling around, folks. Let’s call a spade a spade! Communism is the antithesis of an American Republic. So it all boils down to what you want - slavery or freedom. Take your pick.
You can be sure that quite a few Obama voters (Democrats, Indies and Republicans alike because there were plenty of Republicans who voted for him) are not happy with Democrat leadership. The real question is are they ready to jump into Republicans’ laps in November? Currently, my hunch is no - not yet. They are in a “let’s wait and see” pattern and maybe we’ll give them more time to get it right. The empirical evidence I have to support my hunch is what happened in PA-12. Polls showed that a majority of voters there were unhappy with the Obama agenda and the economy and they toyed with the idea of defecting to Burns (R), but in the end they ran back to what they thought was safe.
Those who are high spirited will change direction when they don’t like the way things are going, but those who are weak and dependent (a lot of seasoned citizens and unemployed in PA-12) do not have the confidence to do that. They are like abused spouses who keep going back because it’s the only thing they know and at least he pays the rent. But at some point, if they get angry enough, even the abused spouses will leave. We’re far from that point.
And face it, there is still a bad taste in many people’s mouths over Bush as demonized as he was by Democrats - who are still playing the same fiddle.
Republicans might get the high spirited ones but they need more to make big gains.
