"Republicans would gain 10 more seats"

Evidence of voter happiness, according to Rove:
the University of Michigan’s consumer confidence survey has relatively high readings.
He cited a study from some political scientists (whom he didn’t name) that said with consumer confidence as high as it now is, Republicans would gain 10 more seats in Congress than they’d otherwise gain in November.



He is ill, I tell you, ill.

1. What does consumer confidence have to do with the GOP?
They obviously didnt include me in this poll, I'm a pissed off "consumer" who is A, tired of the label consumer, and B, is not a walking dollar sign.

And the high gas prices dont have anything to do with it, either, do they. :sarcasm:

16. Exactly- all they need is a talking point excuse.

The big media will anxiously lap it up and repeat it- much like "values voters".
