It really is remarkable how in the span of such a short period of time, the liberal elites have taken a 52% mandate of "hope and change" and turned it into a nearly 80% total distrust of the federal government. 80%!

The fact that it is only April and that a lot can happen before November is in play, but I've seen a great sign in the vids of the various Tea Party rallies - "Remember in November". There have been a lot of those signs, and I don't think people are putting them in the closet or the trash. If I'm right, a 100 seat turn around in the House, and up to 20 or more seat turn around in the Senate is very feasible. I sense that people are feeling a "righteous indignation", not just anger, and that doesn't go away until the grievance has been rectified.

yea, even I was pretty amazed at how quickly that happened. The question is, will the Republicans actually start to take notice and shape up, or just wait lazily, thinking their wins are inevitable? They shouldn't be too complacent!

I'm thinking that won't be a problem this time around (unlike 2006 & 2008) with candidates such as Marco Rubio and Allen West. There are others out there who are also as dynamic as these two, but my memory fails me at the moment.

OT - would it be ok with you if I added you to my f-list? I've seen your comments in the past, and like what I've seen.
