You May Not Want To hear This, But Ds Are Going To Do Just Fine In November [View All]

[stopbush]

The tide is with us. 10 reasons for hope:

1. NBC/WSJ poll finds only 24% of Americans think Congressional Rs are doing a good job. The same poll found 33% of Americans approving of the Ds in Congress. Not great, but 37% better than Rs.

2. Ds are showing up at the polls in heavier numbers than Rs in 2010

3. Ds are demolishing Rs in fund raising. The only $ the Rs have is from rich candidates who will pay their own way

4. Incumbents are being re-elected at their normal rate in 2010. There is no anti-incumbent fever in the country

5. Majority of Americans don't like the tea baggers, nor do they like their political spokespeople like Palin and Angle

6. There are more registered Ds in the country than Rs

7. Rs are scraping the bottom of the barrel in who to scapegoat, moving from immigrants to attacking working people and the unemployed

8. Obama continues to win legislative victories

9. All things considered, it's the Ds who are energized this cycle, not the Rs

10. Obama hasn't even started campaigning for D candidates. He will be in full campaign roar by October, and the Rs have no one to put up against him.
