Dem the Lights, The Shows About to Start

It is a tsunami year for the Democratic Party. Unlike anything since 1974, or maybe 1932. The Dems after 2006 already had a bigger majority in the House than the Republotard revolution ever did, and they've taken 3 special elections in solid Red seats. The RNC is already conceding as much as 20 more losses, and it looks like in the Senate the Dems could easily grab 6 seats - VA, NM, NH, AK, CO and NC - and another 4 have the Republotard below 50% right now. The only possible pick up for the R's is LA, and Landrieu is polling at 50 to 38.

Rep. Mark Kirk, a moderate representing a Democratic-leaning district (whose reelection bid is in serious trouble), feels the same way.

The GOP’s loss in Mississippi on Tuesday underscored for many Republicans that the party’s old playbook — one that relies heavily on branding Democrats as liberal tax-raisers, rallying around social issues such as abortion and guns, and using the president and vice president as campaign surrogates — isn’t working any more.

"The playbook hasn’t worked in my district ever," said Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who has been pushing his party to adopt an agenda geared toward more moderate suburban voters for the past three years. "The politics of the 1980s when that playbook was written is out of date."

Cantor acknowledged that efforts to brand a candidate as "too liberal" or "too out of sync" won’t cut it with voters.

"What does work, though, is a realization that the paradigm has been shifted," Cantor said. "This country is tired of excuses and doesn’t want to hear about ‘too liberal’ or ‘too this’ or ‘too that.’ What they want to hear is solutions."

So, bashing Democrats as tax and spenders, and friends of Obama's aren't working to hold onto Northern LA and MS??? Attacks over abortion don't work either?

What next, oh their Presidential nominee is the Maverick Republican, who is seen as a anti- Republican Republican. Uh, so then, how do the rest of the Republicans stand with and behind him? Will he advance their cause, or provide coattails? If he runs as the maverick, then how can the establishment back him? And if he does stand with the President and the Congressional leaders on lots of issues, does that undercut his Maverick-i-ness? Can he get the independent voters, or moderate Republicans and at the same time motivate the base?

At this point, the problem boils down to this; the Conservatives have run the country as a "my way or the highway" since 1995 - by either shutting down the government, or Bush screaming terrorist, or vetoing and blocking all Democratic bills. And now the public sees what a bunch of idiots they were to support these tards.

BUT, they've got to corral their Radical, Christian Fundamentalist base, the Grover Norquist Anti Taxers, and the Big Business groups, and still appeal to rational, pro science, independent, and moderate voters. And it didn't work in 3 of the Reddest districts in the country. So, as the number of seats shrinks, who takes over the party? Moderates like Susan Collins, or the rabid screaming mimi's of the radical christian right, or the anti taxers? My bet is, the moderates will jump ship to the Democratic side, and the base will drive the party further off into the darkness, until they can get some oxygen to their brains, and come back with a real governing philosophy beyond give money to the rich.

And by getting more Dimocrats what will that do?

Im sorry Indie

Yes Congress
