Why I Remain Optimistic About '06 Elections
I know the polls are terrible for the Republicans, support for the war in Iraq is waning, and they are ignoring the border problem and borrowing and spending like there's no tomorrow, but I still think that we on the right side of the political aisle will pick up seats in both the House and Senate in 2006, and I think this because we Republicans have a not so secret weapon. That weapon is the Democrat Party.
This opinion piece, by Peter Brown over at RealClearPolitics makes me even more sure of Republican success. The Democrats won't even face their problem--no support by the majority of Americans. All they can do is scheme to pick up votes around the margins. That's not how winners do it.
Also the trend lines of American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan is down (that's good); the economy is going great (stock market should be exceeding old record highs in October) and there's just the chance that Republicans will stumble onto at least a faux fiscal responsibility and a tightening of border security in the next 6 months. It could happen.
