WTF Is It Now?!?

For Democrats, a wave is building
If history is any guide, we're heading into a major political shit storm. In a good way.

The Democrats' hopes rest on intense public unhappiness with Bush and the GOP -- and enough districts in play to allow them to pick up the 15 seats they need to become the majority party. Over the past year, the Cook Political Report has increased the number of Republican seats it considers highly vulnerable from two to 10, and those it considers somewhat vulnerable from 16 to 25. Eighteen others are potentially vulnerable. That's double the number of a year ago. [Another] factor is the Republican decision to pursue a risky strategy: turn their greatest liability -- the war in Iraq -- into an asset by linking it to the broader fight against terrorism. The risk is that this will reinforce the public's association of the GOP with an unpopular war.

We can only hope. From an opinion piece in the WaPo.

Meanwhile, Dick "dick" Cheney is urging republitards to use "security" as their top campaign issue going into the midterm elections.
