The Democrats' dream of retaking Congress may be fading as fast as gas prices are falling. CNN sees a plot to keep the GOP in power.
But a USA Today/Gallup survey conducted Sept. 15-17 showed President Bush's approval rating rising to 44%. And in a generic poll of party preference for House elections, Republicans and Democrats were dead even at 48%.

Lurker, I'm not sure what the HT pic is.
But I'll trade you one Code Pink for the HT.
You go first.
It's just Cindy. She looks better when W was finished with her.
Oh, NO! You've done it now...Not HELEN!!!!! Please!
Lurker, I retract my challenge. HT is the Viagra antidote. And so is this one.

Of course the DUmmies think the falling gas prices are a Rovian "October Surprise" type plot, since none of them seem to understand (or appreciate) basic capitalist market forces.
Just a few hours ago I saw a segment where they were discussing the "conspiracy theory" that Bush was manipulating gas prices. They went pro and con, and had a spokeswoman for the oil industry who consistently dismissed the whole idea as absurd. They finished with her apparently getting the last word, then the NewsBabe goes, "Is this true? We have with us the author of JACKED : How conservatives are picking your pocket ..."
But what I am really looking forward to is reading the DUmmies if the GOP maintains control. It will be glorious!
Does Sheehan do this face on cue?

And what I will enjoy most is watching little Chrissie Mathews and his PMSNBC cronies' faces as once again they don't get what they want. It will be excruciatingly enjoyable.
Yes it will. Before they moved it or pulled it down, I would always enjoy reading their live Election Day thread from '04. It was great watching them get all excited with the exit polling only to slowly realize that W was going to remain in office.
OMG, what part of her anatomy is oozing from beneath her pink tarp? Second thought...pleaes don't answer.
