REPUBLICANS USED TO LAG DEMS ON THE GENERIC CONGRESSIONAL BALLOT. NOW THE GOP IS WAY AHEAD. “Whoa! 2 months ago the Dems were up by 8 and now they are down by 5? That’s a 13-point change in the spread. . . . Get ready for the anti-Obama Democrats. What will they look like? Perhaps they’ll grind away at him from the left on issues like the NSA surveillance and drone warfare. They could say Obamacare was devised as a sop to Republicans who outrageously avoided all responsibility for it when it failed, and single-payer was always the only good answer, and it’s where we must go now.”

Good luck with that. But don’t get cocky, GOP. You could still blow it. You excel at that. . . .
