The pro-Teabagger media neglects one thing at their peril

[jmowreader]

I think the MSM is going to have salmonella-infested Republican egg all over their face come election night because they neglect one of Jim's Laws of Politics: the Law of Anti-Incumbent Anger, which reads:

The Law of Anti-Incumbent Anger:
My Congressman is Great. Your Congressman Sucks. We gotta get rid of Your Congressman right away.

And that's the thing: There is very, very little turnover in Congressmen because, by and large, people like their congressmen. Oh, there are some exceptions, but in general they like the guy they've got. Witness the GOP's fun "Fire Pelosi" campaign, which of course isn't going to Pelosi's district because--gee--they like Nancy Pelosi there!

So...given that I can't vote to throw out your congressman, I don't think we're going to see a huge turnover. People fucking HATE negative political ads, and that's all the Republicans are doing now. Hey guys, tell me how good YOUR candidate is rather than how BAD Nancy Pelosi is. Up here in ID-1 I see quite a few ads comparing Raul Labrador to Pelosi, which is strange because they're not campaigning as hard against Minnick as they should be.
