These numbers may not be exactly reproducible in Oct. of 2010.

But both the trends and the overall picture are important, and set to establish the idea that, 1) all is not lost for the Opposition, and 2) the GOP is settling into good shape for 2010.

The one(two) real troublesome spots for the GOP are their numbers on Taxes(Economy) – the GOP needs to be way ahead of the Dems on both, and definitely above 50% on both. Both of these numbers, but *especially* the Tax numbers, need to improve further.

Once that happens, the odds of taking back the House improve substantially…

(I’d also like to see the NatSec numbers look more like 55-32 in the GOP’s favor, but they’re actually pretty good where they are right now…)

and given the deepening of the great recession, I doubt we, the GOP, could fail to win massive seats in 2010 unless we tried to lose!

History is on our side even if there were no great recession, in the first off year election for the out party.

I said all along, since November, that the dems would own the recession in 2010, and that was before Obama actually did worse than I imagined!

This poll to me is just the signs of the inevitable.

remember, that even Reagan lost massive seats in 1982 due to the recession that he inherited that got him elected!

Obama and the dems will suffer.

Most people don’t understand the difference between health insurance and actual health care.

Selling universal healthcare by distorting the true costs and implying that it will result in better access to healthcare is easy when people have no concept of the fact that the things that government will impose to “keep costs under control” such as price caps and rationing will actually create incentives for reduced research and hospitals to stop investing in expensive equipment, such as MRIs.

And it is not that people are incapable of understanding these things. The media is being totally unprofessional in their failure to report these concerns, which have occurred everywhere it has been tried(big suprise huh?), the state of economic education in our public schools is pathetic, and the truth is that most people’s lives are to busy to sit around and contemplate these things.

Pointing out these problems is the responsibility of elected Republicans and us.

People in America simply don’t realize how fortunate they are when it comes to healthcare.

They have no clue how horrible socialized medicine is, or they would be thanking their lucky stars that we DON’T have it here.

agreed… we can/should be Optimistic, but not over-confident… alot of work to do and long way to go….

Just how bad the BLUE-ism infestation is in many places, the degree of stupidity (above and beyond that) that remains in the Style Over Substance clowns that factored into the ObamaBinBiden win remains with how long they’ll keep their heads up their hindsides following all their 2006/08 votes in ANY given area of the country, ACORN looking to “assist” ever more/new territories reach the “proper” outcomes (in the ACORN mindset), the Baracklash (wish I could remember the RSer that gave me that to acknowledge), etc… means we can be Optimistic but still gives me some “concern.” FOX was reporting “Deed” as the probable Democrat Gov. nominee as they try to “Conservative” their nominee knowing what/how the battle will be shaped in that State. That on the one hand is great, as they admit the “needs,” but is still some concern (as going back to the afore mentioned “concerns”) as we’ve seen the Democrat CINOs/PLINOs have duped far too many (asleep at the switch and easily fooled) folks into pulling that JackAss lever lately.

Are people really waking up that “Conservatisism” in actual/real direction for any part or the whole of the country is only going to come through the Republican Party, again plenty of CINOs/PLINOs out of Democrats that then just give control over to the Liberal left. Of course, too many Republicans went lax on the right direction themselves, but none-the-less it is the ONLY place it is going to actually return while the Dem’s play with Conservative “sounding” candidates and values/principles to compete for (read: Dupe or Steal) the votes while never intending to “CHANGE” from their normal Tax/Spend/Socialist Incremental-ism agenda they have always taken the country down with. There are things to be “Optimistic” about but there is still alot of work to be done in waking up the masses to “acknowledge” they made mistakes with Democrats/Obama and reverse their bad habits of late.

I just wrote this comment the other day in my journal:
“How many people are going to be wearing their patriotism on their
sleeves on the 4th of July while Obama tries to flush this country down the toilet thanks to their votes back in November?”

It makes me sick how they can say they are patriotic but not care enough to vote for someone who is the farthest thing from a patriot.
