Wait and watch the implosion of this Administration next year.

"And, in fact, the new president and Congress had a real opportunity to divide the Republican Party."

They don't really have to do much, seeing as how the Republicans themselves are doing all the heavy lifting.

The Dems are reaching too far, and will sucessfully relegate themselves to Clinton-era minorities ...wait and watch...

Yeah, the Republicans have certainly demonstrated they're an imaginitive, adroit bunch capable of hammering together a reasonable, attractive alternative.

LOL!

Yeah, just think...the Repubs will get to chant "We're Not Obama! We're Not Obama!" much like the left has done throughout Bush's two terms...

You're actually so ignorant of history that you think there some sort of never-changing looping effect at play? Bush was a special case, an inarticulate dolt who repeatedly demonstrated breathtaking ignorance and almost unbelievable incompetence. One who -- and, of course, you will have failed to take this into account -- had the presidency handed to him after failing to win a majority of the popular vote.

Obama's biggest problem is not Obama but the steaming compost heap Bush left behind for him to clean up.

I've no idea what you Republicans think you're going to do to put together a combination capable of attracting more, at best, 40% of the electorate -- remember, you're working from a core of 23%, compose of ignoramuses such as yourself who may vote but have no credibility (other than with other members of the ignorami, that is) -- and, from your posts, neither do you.

I guess all you can pray for is economic misery on a scale not seen since Reagan was in office.

Predictable... Obama has promised more than he can realistically deliver in his first few months of office. The Democrats took power with a certain amount of political capital, and a good deal of it has been squandered dealing with nonsensical rightwing conspiracy theories. The "swing voters" that supported him out of their disdain for the previous administration are understandably experiencing second thoughts. They demand results, not words.

It is probably for the better. Historically, the GDP grows by the greatest amount when the legislative branch and the executive branch are controlled by different parties. I'll try to find the link to that for everybody. There is something to be said for ambition fighting ambition, even if this conflict is only being waged between two parties that are almost identical.

The rtards win 2 Governorships in this election-and think they've "regained" their voters?

Really good analytical skills......

I think if Republicans want to win in 2010 they are going to have to tell us what they would be doing right now to create jobs. If they come up with another promise to trickle us down some jobs with more tax cuts for the wealthy I don't think average Americans will buy it. Other than tax cuts what really do they ever propose that has any relationship to job creation? Oh wait, just remembered, they could offer to deregulate some more industries. Yeah, they are real good at deregulating things like banking. I don't think America is any mood to hear about more deregulating of anything.

The desperation is running mighty thick with this one. Bwhahahahahahahaha A1st and His ilk are trying their level best to negate Democrats and what they have won bwhahahahahahahaha too fucking funny.

Agreed, for the Repubs to win they have to come up with a credible plan to create jobs. It will be interesting to see if they are up to the task.

Yeah, they are real good at deregulating things like banking.

Republican bill Gramm-Leach-Bliley was not only signed by Clinton but defended by him when it took some fire for the economic crisis.

Only a move to the left can save the Republicans.

What coat tails? Obama doesn't even have a coat!
