Cross your fingers

The Washington Post says that the GOP might be in some serious trouble for this year's midterm elections, and all because people are pissed off at shrub.

"Polls have reflected voter discontent with Bush for many months, but as the election nears, operatives are paying special attention to one subset of the numbers. It is the wide disparity between the number of people who are passionate in their dislike of Bush vs. those who support him with equal fervor.

Lately, there have been a lot more of the former -- and even Republicans acknowledge that could spell trouble in closely contested congressional races.

...The intense opposition to Bush is larger than any faced by Clinton. For all the polarization the 42nd president inspired, Clinton's strong disapproval never got above 37 percent in Post-ABC polls during his presidency."

I'm not one to count my eggs before they've hatched, but I can't get over how many good signs I've seen. Cross your fingers, baby. Perhaps the sane ones will somehow be able to retake Congress.
