— Ace The old leg tingles have given way to a prickling up the spine for Chris Matthews.
He looks like someone just told him Obama's married and probably not leaving his wife.
Is it that bad? Depends on who you ask. Gallup says yes, it's that bad; 50-43 in favor of Republicans on the generic Congressional. A seven point gap and Republicans at 50%.
But if you ask Rasmussen, on the other hand, the answer is also yes, but it's Hell yes. 48-36, a twelve point gap.
Those are both highs for this cycle.
Thanks to JonathanE for the poll tips.

Schieffer's here to talk politics, and the party that's in big trouble in November, and that means that Schieffer's here to talk about Republicans.

I might just have to watch MSDNC on election night. I remember watching Hardboiled in the late 90s when it was the only game in town. Well, and Crossfire.
Matthews is 200% more insufferable and crazy since those days. From old school, somewhat blue collar lib, to barking moon bat in a decade.

Heh! Heh! One of my favorite memories of the 2004 election was when Katie Couric showed up the next morning, in black, puffy eyed and hoarse (from crying/screaming) and looked like someone she loved had died as she had to report that Bush had beaten Kerry. Then when Scott Brown defeated Marsha, Marcia, Martha Coakley, I did the same Snoopy Dance as I watched Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews looking more and more despondent. Ah, good times! I can only hope for more (but dare I?) I'm sure like someone said earlier, the stupid Republicans will screw the pooch.

You shouldn't be, because this election isn't about the GOP and the tide has risen far beyond their or anyone else's power to dissipate it. This is going to be a 1000% referendum on Barack Hussein Obama and his party, and people are pissed like I have never seen before in my lifetime. The Republicans are going to be the beneficiaries of all this by default.

It's not how much of a communist, or a liberal, or a gay, or an aggrieved minority....it's how much of a complete idiot. From trying to televise the testimony so that people could be targeted by mobs to saying "tradition doesn't matter" and "tradition matters" in the same opinion depending on which side is being discussed, from reeling off a wish-list of unproven statements in order that they may be ordained to be facts, to playing hooky-games with standing to try to put the kibosh on actual debate -- this judge has done his level best to make sure that nobody will see this as a fair reading of the law.

It was just as fun in 1994. Peter Jennings was pure awesome as he was able to look not only shellshocked but smarmy and arrogant at the same time. I flipped back and forth between ABC and CNN for hours and everyone on there looked thoroughly confused and unable to comprehend what they were witnessing. Sort of like the look I had on my face when I was a kid and opened the Christmas present expecting to get Thriller but instead found Air Supply's Greatest Hits.

You can make a strong argument that what President Obama changed from the government of Sen Obama is what the American people didn't want changed, and what he hasn't changed is what they do.

Our only hope is to keep voting out all incumbents until politicians get our messages. This will require several election cycles. Our messages are:
Shrink the government.
Cut the spending.
Do not increase taxes, except on those who don't pay any now.
Cut the salaries and benefit packages of politicians.
Cut govt workers salaries and benefits, as they are too high.
Devolve power to state and local governments and away from the federal government.
Secure the borders.
Loosen the ROE, win the wars with overwheming force and withdraw.
Follow the Constitution as written.
Drill.

Obama is the lone, oncoming rider in that loooong

heart of the water-stealing guide as Lawrence stands,
slackjawed. We, America, appear to be welcoming
our own demise, to bow to "political correctness".

Democrats have almost always had an advantage in the generic ballot and in self-description. It traces back to FDR's great coalition which controlled the country from 1933 - 1953, as the pendulum of American politics swung away from Republicans who had dominated since Lincoln. We are witnessing the beginning of the inevitable swing back to the GOP.
The true worth of the Tea Party movement is that it will exercise restraint on the GOP's inherent tendency to revert to the old ways when power is secure, putting principles aside for practical pork-barreling. Reformers will have new voice, and may not be as easily dismissed as in the past.
But it will be a daunting task to dismantle the welfare state the Democrats were able to construct over the last 67.5 years.
