I would feel bad for Dems if they hadn’t lived by that sword in 2006 and 2008. As it stands now, they’re poised to die by it.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 43% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
That represents the lowest level of support for Democrats in recent years, while Republicans have tied their highest level of support for the third straight week. The previous low for Democrats over the past year was 37%…
Throughout the summer of 2008, support for Democratic congressional candidates ranged from 45% to 48%. Republican support ranged from 34% to 37%…
If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again. Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress.
New GOP slogan; Vote Republican – We’re Not Democrats! Seeing as that strategy worked so well for Dems in the past two election cycles and all.

I’d feel a lot better about the Republican chances if their slogan was This cycle we are going to support our base.
