Todd: Yes, Its that Bad for Republicans

And that is what is sad right now for junkies: things don’t even look that competitive anymore.

Barely glimmers of hope
I have yet to find a race where Republicans seem to be on the upswing just for being Republican when the Democrat in the race is an incumbent in some form. Sure, there are some glimmers of hope for the GOP but only in places where Democrats have unique problems.

Think about it: the New Jersey governor’s race is competitive because of a disastrous Democratic situation; the Virginia governor’s race is competitive because Democrats are in a nasty primary food fight and may end up nominating their most polarizing candidate; the Illinois senate race is competitive thanks to Roland “Blagojevich” Burris; the Delaware Senate race is also competitive thanks to more appointment shenanigans; and the Connecticut Senate race is competitive because Chris Dodd continues to self-destruct.

Things for the Republicans are bad, very bad. It is worse than just about any Republican wants to admit.

The party is defined too much by social issues and the brands of Bush and Cheney, rather than by what some in the party wish to define it by, mainly, limited government, personal freedom and a strong national defense.

1. This OP gives me a nice warm fuzzy

They've formed a circular firing squads to shoot all their 'RINOs' which is about half of the party.

2. Me too!

I think its basically the idealogues and their immediate beneficiaries who are still really enthusiastic. The rest are going through the motions.
