***...they will be apoplectic when they lose again.***
I finally heard a commentator (Campbell Brown on NBC, I think) say that a large part of the drop in President Bush's poll ratings were due to unhappy Republicans! No kidding, MSM!
These unhappy Republicans are NOT going to vote in Pelosi and Reid to leadership of the House and Senate. Unhappy Republicans are signalling their Republican office holders to go on offence. We have six months for them to show that they get the message.
If these people stay home to punish the President and give us years of dem control, they will surely rot in someplace warm.
This has been obvious from all the breakdowns on the polling data. Plus they continue to oversample liberals.
The GOP has 6 months to energize the base in those areas where there are competitive races. We are not going to lose the Senate or the House.

I tend to agree w you, maica, though I know that there appear to be some one-issue voters on FR (illegal immigration issue).
Many/most of you may already be aware of this, but, the first time I heard about it was last night (I've been working a lot this week, so haven't had much time for FReeping - - I hate when that happens ;-)
Anyway, I was listening to Jerry Doyle when driving home from dinner at he had the person on who started the "Send a Brick to Congress" effort. For $11.99 they will send a brick to your congress critter with whatever message you want. Or, you can do it yourself. She said some folks had have decorate a brick parties and send their own.
Apparently, they've sent 4,000 bricks, just through their web site. Dingy Harry even got one that said, "Secure Our Borders".
They thought that this would be more effective than email, letters, etc since they can't shred a brick, they'll be in the congresscritter's office to remind them how the public feels about illegal immigration and securing our borders, and, the bricks can be used to build the wall.
Here's a link to their web site,

For pictures of some of the bricks:

"The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens to send bricks to Washington encouraging our Congressmen to stand tough on border security.
Each brick sends a message to our Senators and Representatives that we want our borders secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration."
And if they are not sufficiently pure and do exactly what you demand, are you going to sit on your ass and let Pelosi and Reid run the Congress? I sure hope that is not your plan because that is no plan.
