Novak: Repubs in Deep Trouble.

[kstewart33]

From the latest Evans-Novak Political Report:

"Amid the exciting windup of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination and the mop-up of the Republican contest, the reality is that 2008 shapes up as a very bad year for the GOP. The fact that the Democratic turnout in yesterday's Virginia primary was double the Republican reflects the larger, more boisterous Democratic rallies from Iowa to the Potomac primaries. The pessimism and gloom in the business community is particularly pronounced."

"Adding to the dark mood among Republicans is the increasing prospect that they will not be able to bolster their morale by running against the detested Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). Her unification of Republicans has been one of the few GOP assets going into the campaign. It will take time and effort to work up a passion against the likable Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) no matter how leftist he really is."

1. From the mouths of traitors...

2. Sigh. Even DU cannot be free of the RW handwringing hate mongering drivel.

No offense stewart33. I suppose we must keep one eye on the RW, but I so hate novak and his slimy ilk. He and rove should be sharing a jail cell, not being widely quoted in the press.

His opinion is worth less than last years cow pies.

3. Yes, he's a jerk, but

no one in WDC is better connected with Repubs than Novak is. That's why his report is by subscription only. His opinions are usually based on what he's hearing from key Repubs so, IMO, he's worth reading.

What was that saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

11. Cheerful drivel for Valentine's Day

I'm sure his base will be buoyed by his little black cloud.

From the master of hate mongering.

Business booms under Democrats.

Haven't business owners figured that out yet?
