‘Senate and House Republicans are going to get crushed’
By Jay Bookman | Monday, October 13, 2008, 03:12 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Erick Erickson of Macon is editor of redstate.com, which calls itself “the most widely read right of center blog on Capitol Hill and … the most cited right of center blog in the media.”

So I guess I’ll cite it too. Here’s the opening to an Erickson post today:

“With only a few weeks left until election day, let’s be blunt: McCain-Palin ‘08 does not seem to be making headway against the polling. McCain has one more debate in which he could, and we should hope that he does.

At the same time, the Senate and House Republicans are going to get crushed. They just are. You can say the polls are biased. You can say the polls are rigged. But do so at your peril. Ignore the numbers and look at the trends.”


Erickson goes on to ask readers for donations to GOP candidates to help them survive what’s coming. But he’s at least candid about the situation.

3. The Republican Party should be small enough so that we can drown it in a bathtub!

5. The exodus has already begun
Expect it to go full force if McCain doesn't win the debate this Wednesday. The party isn't about to let McCain drag the down-ticket candidates down with him.

6. Let's hope so. I hope to see a poll saying we are going to get 60 Senators and all the Governors.
