NOTHING REMINDSAMERICA OF ITS CONSERVATISM FASTER THAN DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT:

Generic ballot polls suggest possible epic party disaster for Dems (Michael Barone, 01/29/10, Washington Examiner)

The current results are as favorable for Republicans or more so than the CNN/Gallup polls taken at this point in the 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004, cycles in which Republican House candidates received more votes than Democratic candidates . All of which leads me to second Charlie Cook’s suggestion that if the election were held today, Republicans would gain more than the 40 seats they need to get a majority in the House. I would go further and say that if the election were held today Republicans would do better than in 1994 or 2002, their best years since the “had enough?” Republican landslide of 1946.
