DON’T WORRY: Dems are in like Flynn in ’06
Reality-based commentary on politics.
…we’re still 5 months out. Dispite a ripe special election last week, the Rs pulled out their ne hate tool–immigration and we lost another one.

The way the R’s play the game is they really don’t care what people think of them 23 out of 24 months. Then they lie liek hell and make people hate the Dems more doing the month before election day.
Last time I checked, those who Cheney backed tended to win elections. He’s not popular, but I’m not sure what record you’re referring to. And sadly, I wouldn’t go placing those bets yet.
The biggest danger to a Republican victory has been the performance of the stock market the last few weeks. But if the economy stays strong, the market stabilizes, and there isn’t another terrorist attack, as Cheney says, he might very well be right. Note that the Democrats are sending mixed messages on a big potential attack point: Iraq. Kerry claims he wants out (although God knows what he really wants), Clinton says stay the course, and few members of the public even know the names of the other leading elected officials.
Remember the lessons of Ohio and Florida. The Republicans sound as confident now as Karl Rove did on election night 2004 and when he told W the exit polls were wrong….
