Political forecasters have warned for months that the widespread anti-Democratic sentiment in the nation could well coalesce into a Republican wave that approaches that party’s gains in 1994. President Obama’s independents have deserted him, the business and Tea Party wings of the Republican Party are alight with fervor and cash, and even season-ticket Democrats are searching for their old enthusiasm.

In part, that is because the significant accomplishments of the last two years — health care reform, the stimulus package, the resuscitation of the auto industry, financial reform — were savagely attacked by the right and aggressively misrepresented as the hoof beats of totalitarianism.

2. If the Democratic party 'leaders' wanted support and enthusiasm they should not have kicked Liberals

in the teeth. If Republicans pick up seats this November, Look no further than Arkansas to see why.

3. Don't you just love the media spin?

People may be frustrated but it's with the Republican party of No and some turncoat so-called Democrats. When push comes to shove after August and more people start paying attention they'll find Republicans don't have a leg to stand on. They really and truly aren't FOR anything but keeping the tax cuts for the wealthy. During Depressions when people are really struggling that doesn't cut the mustard. And it's when people are hurting that they tend to pay attention.
