AND THEN CONSIDER...:

Generic Congressional Ballot (Rasmussen Reports, December 22, 2009)

Republican candidates now have an eight-point lead over Democrats, their biggest lead of the year, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Support for GOP candidates held steady over the past week, but support for Democrats slipped by a point. [...]

Men prefer GOP candidates by 19 points over Democrats, while women are evenly divided between the two.

...how east Democrats have had it this year, W having already saved the banks, won the war and destroyed al Qaeda. All of their wounds are self-inflicted. How are they going to perform if an actual crisis arises?
