Democrats Favored in Congressional Race
A Pew Research survey finds Democrats with "a sizable lead in the congressional horse race and an advantage on most major issues." In a generic ballot, Democrats lead by 50% to 41% among registered voters andretain "a huge advantage on traditional party strengths like the environment and health care." Democrats also lead the ability "to deal with the economy (by 46%-36%) and reform the federal government (42%-29%). Terrorism, and to a lesser extent crime, remain the GOP's only strong issues."

The latest Fox News poll shows similar results, with Democrats seens as "better at handling an array of key issues and gaining public trust on some areas traditionally considered Republican strengths." By a margin of 42% to 34%, Americans think Democrats should take control of Congress in this year's elections.

1. Just one more reason for Bush playing the fear card

Terrorism, and to a lesser extent crime, remain the GOP's only strong issues.

It is an election year. Fortunately the claims Bush made were quickly debunked. The republicans don't stand a chance in the mid-terms. Congressman Conyers, dust off your gavel and get ready to assume the chairman's chair. You may begin planning for the impeachment proceedings any time you like.

2. Dems have a plan.

I'm so sick of hearing that Dems don't have any ideas. We have plenty of ideas, on the economy, health care, education, and, yes, terrorism and foreign policy. It's just hard to be heard above all the spin by the Repugs. They have all the power and have silenced the Dems in Congress. But the American public know with whom this country is safer, on all fronts.
