“Cronyism, incompetence and dishonesty were the overwhelming themes… The center won’t hold without results and the Right is very big on talk, not so good on results.”
Yes, and the current Congress is so popular, productive, and ethical. Sheesh.
“The middle abandoned Republicans in very large numbers in the last election and from any measure you want to use, money raised, interest level, registrations, the Democrats are outpacing Republicans again in this election cycle.”
Both the GOP base and moderates are extremely disillusioned with Republicans who are soft on illegal immigration and big on pork-barrel spending, and the President sucks on both issues. True conservatives (such as Sen. Coburn) are doing just fine. As soon as the GOP leadership gets its head out of the sand, the party will be fine, too.
