But your posts downright cheer me up.

Bet on it!

By 2012, people will be lying about who they voted for “back in 08″… most will wince at the very mention of the name “Obama”

And the GOP could take 40 states running Gilbert Gottfried, lol

OUR side’s winning now… and the Dems will NEVER be trusted with the purse strings like this EVER again- at least not in our lifetimes

With the bad economy, the job losses, the Gulf spill and their refusal to enforce the border I think people cannot wait to vote them out.

The big question I have is what will be the agenda of a new Republican held House.
Will they actually try to repeal Obamacare or is all that just rhetoric….?
Will they propose tax cuts or try to seal the border ?
What will they do first ?

and there are strong indications that the Repubs will see a strong resurgence from the electorate. However, it cannot be left solely up to a dislike of the Dems and O. The Repubs must come out with a clear plan for the economy, stand firm on repeal of HC and convince people that the will not be Democrat lite in the coming years. Tall order I’d say. And of course there is the real chance that the GOP will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with some boneheaded move. Michael Steele has already proven he’s much like Joe Biden the gaff machine.

For now, an all out effort to get out the vote and work hard to displace Dem Congressional reps must be the order of the day. If a majority is achieved, it will mark the end of the beginning and we will spend a good long time trying to retrieve America.

Barack Obama was elected by the middle-of-the-road, pocketbook voters who thought that he would somehow return the country to prosperity. After 25 years of unprecedented economic growth, the American middle class has become very intolerant of a stagnation or decline of its standard of living. Republicans received the blame for the onset of the current recession. Democrats are receiving and will continue to receive the blame for its continuation..
Anyone who voted for Obama and is not blinded by ideology or racial pride has now seen the obvious truth: that Obama, his advisors, and the Democrat leadership are as incompetent as they are arrogant, and should not be trusted with the reins of power. The Dems and their enablers in the media will learn in November that Obama’s much-vaunted reservoir of good will has evaporated, now that it has be exposed to the harsh sun of reality.

I still believe these polls are over-sampling the Dems. They justify that by using old data of self-identified D’s and R’s.

That and people that do participate probably try to sound middle of the road. The last poll call I took was for stationary (?) and they then treaded into politics. How they went from thank you cards to what is my party affiliation and voting R or D was very sketchy and I was vague in my answers.

Couple that with the elusive Evangelicals who fly under the radar and stayed home en masse in 2008 and this fall will be an interesting case study for honest pollsters.

These reasons are why when I see a poll, I take 10% off the results (of the positive side).

I don’t believe for a second Odoogie has anywhere near a 45-50% approval. He’s in the 30′s and staying there.

As much as I would like to celbrate this news, I urge all to remain “humble”. Remember, this is the party of Steele and McCain. They can still screw it up. We must continue to support and assist true conservatives. We need to be the party of bold colors as Reagan said. We will also need to have more than majority votes to counteract the voter fraud, union thug tactics and Franken type legal battles that will ensue.

Then, once we regain control. We need to LEAD! The recession was brought on primarily by a housing boom, then bust. A true leader in the WH would have taken steps back in ~05 to rein in housing expansion, to a substainable level. Nobody wanted to because all that building created jobs, for everyone from basement diggers to carpet makers.

As many coaches know, remaining focused until the clock counts down is imperative.

the polling stations this November.

is that there is 20% of the electorate that thinks Congress is doing OK. These people should all be neutered.

In the days leading up to 3/23, plenty of people were congregating in posts just like this one, high-fiving each other over the predicted death of Obamacare.

I admit that I love reading Dems-are-doomed-in-November posts too. They make me feel better. but I don’t want to feel better. I want to stay hungry and angry. And I would rather read analyses here at RS that keep hammering away at the underlying issues. Victory will come as a consequence of that, and I’ll be glad to high-five you back on 11/3.

I personally question the 20% number–Maybe I need new friends or need to run in a different circle. I am not found anyone to have a good thing to say about Congress

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there’s some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

It ain’t over ’til it’s over.

1978 was in many respects the last gasp of the FDR Era. The welfare state had not yet been throughly discredited and Jimmy Carter was not yet universally recognized to be clueless.

Additionally our politics were still dominated by fallout from Vietnam and Watergate, while the Republicans were mainly a party of “me too only less of it”.

Two years later political reality started to change.

I went to a tea party over the weekend that was sparsely attended. It was a little defeating, but I hope as we get closer to November there are more people becoming active.
