19 of 31 Red states flip to Blue [View All]

[welshTerrier2]

a recent survey by SurveyUSA reported that 19 of 31 Red states now disapprove of the job bush is doing ... and two additional Red states, N. Carolina and Louisiana are now tied ... the author of the article (see below) refers to this as "buyer's remorse" ...

but the author makes a mistake suggesting that these states have "flipped" ... first of all, while there is much more disapproval of bush, bush is not running again ... second, it is not at all clear how this will translate into Senate and Congressional races next year (i.e. all politics are local) ... to say the states have "flipped" based on disapproval for bush may be just a wee bit optimistic ... of course, on the other hand, there are plenty of nervous republicans out there ... and that will soon lead to bush becoming more of a "dead duck" than a "lame duck" ... republicans might just want to start putting some distance between themselves and the WH ...

and finally, MAKE SURE you read the first response to the article ... i wonder if it was written by one of DU's own ... the response did a great job talking about election fraud and even covered some of the 9/11 conspiracy theories ... even if you don't read the base article, don't miss the response on the same page ...
