A Promising Trend
From the AP via ABC 2 WBAY:
An American University expert says if the election were held tomorrow, the G-O-P would be in an extraordinary amount of trouble.

A record low primary turnout and voter disgust for politics could mean an even tougher battle over the next month for Republicans trying to maintain control over the House and Senate.

An A-U study says only 15 percent of eligible voters cast primary ballots this year -- breaking the record low from the last two midterms.

A university researcher says frustrations with President Bush, the Iraq war and a congressional scandal involving lurid messages could mobilize Democrats and independents next month. And he says the political turmoil "may make some Republicans sufficiently unhappy to stay home."
I think we Democrats are sailing into the perfect storm, electorally speaking.
