Is the Tide Turning?
Two weeks ago, I challenged
Eleanor Clift's statement that "Anyone who thinks that Joe Lieberman" will help Republicans in Connecticut "is whistling past the grave." The good people at RealclearPolitics have
posted this poll, showing Christopher Shays with a 7 point lead over his challenger, Nancy Farrell.
Shays was considered the most vulnerable of the Nancy Johnson/Rob Simmons/Christoper Shays trio. If that's the case, this would be good news for Republicans because it would seemingly take three more seats out of the loss column for them. If you've been watching my blog this week, you'll note a number of posts signalling a change in the GOP's election chances.
It seems to me that all the Democrats' huffing and puffing isn't blowing the GOP's house down. In fact, I'd suggest that the more Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and Howard Dean talk, the more likely it is that they're blowing their own electoral house down. I don't think it's dawned on them that their policies just aren't selling with serious-minded Americans. Every time that Democrats use the phrase "tough and smart", they're asking people to believe that the President's policies, which have thwarted numerous terrorist attacks, aren't smart. They don't agree with President Bush on every point but it's foolish to think that they don't know that he's done a pretty good job protecting us.
At least partl of Democrats' confidence can be attributed to believing the Agenda Media's polling, which is wildly exaggerated this year. The over-hyping of the generic ballot and right track/wrong track polling has led many Democrats to think that victory is inevitable. Far from it.
I'll re-iterate what I've said before: When Republicans gain seats in the House and Senate this November, the Democratic hate sites like Kos, DU and MoveOn will be filled with more conspiracy theories than you thought imaginable because they didn't see it coming that their views simply don't sell.
