Poll question: How hard will the party fight to win in the midterms?

Pretty self-explanatory (with Cliff notes included for the word parsers among us)

1. The PARTY better fight to secure the voting machines before November.

2. My guess is pretty hard they want to have the majority in congress

3. My question is this, do the Dem's really want this mess?

I hope they do, but it's going to be a very difficult to straighten out the mess that Bu$h has gotten us into. Not just Iraq, even though that a large mess. It's the economy, the environment, the debt, jobs, and on and on.

When the Dem's finally get control, they're really going to need our help.

4. The Party means nothing; it's the candidates themselves

If you have a timid candidate who is afraid to call a spade, a spade, you're not going to get much of a fight, and you, the voter, are S.O.L.

Maybe if you had a few more economic populists instead of middle-of-the-road candidates who are too afraid to appear leftist on economic issues, you'd get better results.

5. Once again they'll play it "safe" and end up on the short end

Things look bad for the Repugs, so the Democratic "strategists" will tell our candidates to stay non controversial in order to keep from making mistakes. As a result, our base will be unethusiastic again. We won't pull in new voters who want to see real change. Repug incumbents will eke out narrow wins. Same old story.
