Perhaps the number of people identifying themselves as Republicans has not changed

That is incorrect. As of now more people are self-identifying as REPS than any time in recent years anyway. I heard this on cable just last week.

Democracy Corps ranks Democrats ahead of Republicans on the economy by 45-39 percent.

This is mind boggling. The only reason for this is due to the number of naive people that think the economy IS the federal government. And that somehow because RATS understand social programs better that they are better economists.

The NBA has a bunch of coaching slots open because they figure losing teams are the coach's problem

The Dems never seem to fire their losers like Carville et al

And I hope they never learn to.

"perception of success and strong leadership is helping the Republicans."

Perception is reality.

LOL. Were they ever fuzzy and warm? TheBentOne did a good pied piper job as appearing as a caring guy. In the end, though, he was and is exposed as a true fraud.

Dems just need to move even further to the left. That's the ticket!

On the issue of "homeland security," the difference is 57-17 percent for the Republicans. Even another attack on American soil is not enough to change the numbers in favor of the Democrats, for in addition to the actual attack, the Democrats would have to show that somehow they could have prevented it.

The dems are paying for their weak/non-existent support of the Iraq War in specific and the WOT in general.

Sounds like Screwball and the gang have been telling so many lies for so long that they've lost all sense of what "is" and what "isn't" -- and that's good for us!
