The GOP is going to be going "Nuclear" here

Have no doubt, they will be dealing from the bottom of the deck in 2006 - whatever they can do to suppress voter turnout. IT IS ALL THEY HAVE:

As Bush and the Republicans falter, Democrats have emerged as the party most Americans trust to deal with such issues as Iraq, the economy and health care. By 49 to 42 percent, Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to do a better job of handling Iraq.

Democrats also hold a six-percentage-point advantage over the GOP (49 percent to 43 percent) as the party most trusted to handle the economy. Their lead swells to double digits on such as issues as immigration (12 points), prescription drug benefits for the elderly (28 points), health care (32 points) and dealing with corruption in Washington (25 points).

The public divides evenly on only one issue: terrorism, with 46 percent expressing more confidence in the Democrats and 45 percent trusting Republicans on a top voting concern that the GOP counts on dominating.


Iraq is not going to magically get better; Osama is not going to be captured (though he'll make a video for his sweethearts that will appear in late October 2006, just like 2004).

Their only hope is to be as dirty as possible and keep the voting down, convincing people that the parties are all the same.

Or they can just give the microphone to Lieberman.
