The turning of the worm.... ?

According to this ABC News piece,: By GARY LANGER
Oct. 9, 2006, there is a tidal force at work in favor of the dems in the upcoming midterm elections. the image at right shows the generic polling results for a Democrat/Republican breakdown in the house races. to hear Gary tell it:

An unpopular war led by a beleaguered president has pushed the Republican Party back to a deep deficit in voter preferences. But the Mark Foley scandal, while it hasn't helped, is a distant concern, with many doubting that the Democrats would've handled it any better.
The scandal's likeliest impact is that it forces the Republicans off the anti-terrorism message that remains their best push back against the broad discontent with the war in Iraq. The scandal has erased the minor gains the Republicans showed around the 9/11 anniversary."

Ther's more in there as the article goes on for four pages detailing the carnage. I am happy to hear it but I also know that we have been here before.... We have been the predicted winners many times in the past few election cycles and have been beaten back at the last minute each time... But hey, the pre-negotiated low gas prices sure are nice!
