I’d say it only indicated people are beginning to pay attention to politics.

If only we can get the remaining Republicans in Congress to ACT LIKE REPUBLICANS!

Who are these people who could vote for a Republican OR a Democrat?

The Mindless Middle.

Is there a chance the republicans will do something stupid to reverse this momentum?

Speaking of Republicans.... Anyone know whether or not the below referenced film/video clip re Ronald Reagan is anywhere to be found online??? http://gunnyg.wordpress.com/ http://www.ronpaul2008.com/veterans A DEFINING MOMENT IN PRESIDENTIAL POLY-TIKS! "One of the defining moments in presidential politics for me came on the night of the New Hampshire Republican debates in 1980. It was a heated campaign, and although there were several other candidates on the ballot, George Herbert Walker Bush and Ronald Reagan were running neck and neck. The debate hosts wanted Reagan and Bush to square off against each other, and tried to keep the other candidates off the stage.

Bush concurred. But not Reagan. He grabbed the microphone, gave the hosts his stern and disapproving look, and said that since he had paid for the mike, he was going to give every candidate a chance to make his case to the voters of New Hampshire"

"Who are these people who could vote for a Republican OR a Democrat?"

You see them every day. On the road, in the stores, on the job.

These are the mental midgets that corporations are so afraid of they must place instructions on plastic bags saying ... "WARNING: do not place bag over head ... it may cause suffocation"

You know ... those people you see and ask yourself how in the Hell do they even survive.

I expected something like this, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s because of conservatives “returning to the fold”.

I think it’s Democrats registering as Republicans in states where party registration is required to vote in the primary, so they can screw with the primary results - i.e., vote for Huckabee or Ron Paul or whatever.

Dims will cheat lie and steal to get to the white house. Don’t be suprised by anything they will pull come November and even after that.........

You slighlty miffed the story. The moderator had the mike turned off and that's when Reagan said "I paid for this microphone...".

“I’d say it only indicated people are beginning to pay attention to politics.”

I think it means the Democrats have a very short period of time in which they must dump Reid and Pelosi like Tuesday’s trash. Unfortunately for them, I think those two will cling to power, no matter what.

ThankYa, but it isn’t MY story—I just referenced it.

I do, however, recall the story well, having seen the clip replayed many times on the lobotomy box over the years—not lately though.

If the current Democrat Freakshow Parade doesn't cause a Republican Rebound nothing will!

[Savage Beast]

If the ambulance-chasing trial lawyer should be elected President of the U.S., expect to see lots more of those warning signs.

Thank you sir!

You do fine work, and quickly.

I'm worried less about 2008 than I was about 2004 since I remember a guy named Gene McCarthy.

America simply won't tolerate inexperience in national security.

[Savage Beast]

But don’t you think there are Republicans crossing over to vote for the most unelectable Democrat in the primaries? If I could, I would.

[freekitty]

They won’t.
