Democrats must win a majority in the House of Representatives this November. If we play our cards right, we can get support from a surprising source. From Elon University in North Carolina:
Elon University Poll shows support for Bush at 43 percent in Southeastern states
A new Elon University Poll shows support for President George W. Bush stands at 43 percent in five Southeastern states, while 52 percent of citizens disapprove or strongly disapprove of the job Bush is doing…
The poll compared party support between the last presidential election and the upcoming congressional election. Forty-two percent of respondents supported Democrats in the 2004 presidential election, while 46 percent supported Republicans. When asked which party they will support in the next congressional election, 33 percent said they will support Democrats and 28 percent said they will support Republicans. Twenty-nine percent said they did not know.
“What jumps out at you here is the difference in drop-off for Democrats and Republicans,” Bacot said. “The Republican drop-off is twice that of the Democrats, suggesting that Bush’s problems may be trickling down to Republican members of Congress.”
You can help take back the South!Stacey TallitschStacey is running in Louisiana’s 1st District, right outside New Orleans. It’s the district where former KKK grand dragon David Duke ran (as a Republican) some years ago. It was also the seat of disgraced Republican marital cheater, almost-Speaker Bob Livingston.
Stacey is facing a first termer, Bobby Jindal, who consistently votes the Republican line.
When even right-wing columnist Bob Novak complains about the mess the Republicans have made of the Katrina disaster followup, you know there’s an opportunity for Democrats there. No one will work harder than Stacey to help Louisianians, since he’s one of those who lost almost everything to the storm.
Help Stacey defeat his Republican opponent.
