Nine months after Republicans were routed in the midterm elections, campaign observers, K Street lobbyists and political experts say there is little evidence the party can rebound in 2008.

The same bad news — the president’s low approval ratings, opposition to the war in Iraq, and the lingering taint of congressional scandal, from the Jack Abramoff investigation to Sen. David Vitter’s (La.) involvement with the alleged “D.C. Madam” — leave observers skeptical that the GOP can dent Democratic majorities, let alone reclaim power in the next election.

“The only thing that has changed is that everything that was bad got worse,” said Bernadette Budde, political director of the Business Industry Political Action Committee. BIPAC supports business-friendly candidates of both parties, though most of the group’s donations go to Republicans.

If the election were held today, “We’d be lucky to hold our own,” one House Republican said.

1. at this point the only thing that could possibly save a shred of hope

for them is to join with the dems and impeach bush/cheney/gonzo et al

but they would rather drink kool-aid, wave rubberstamps, and curl up in bush's colon

GOP now stands for Gigantic Old Polyps

7. I talked to somebody yesterday that was asked to work on a repuke

campaign of somebody that has not officially announced yet. He turned it down because he thinks the repukes have absolutely no chance of winning, unless the dems blow it in the next 15 months. It was an interesting conversation, he is a conservative, but a moderate conservative. He HATES the Bush administration and says that they aren't really republicans.

8. The Republican party needs to be beaten to a bloody pulp.

I will NEVER forgive them for what they have done to our country. Never.
