Its the economy stupid…

The Democrats are going to lose a significant number of seats in Congress this coming November. This is due to several reasons:
- The Party in power almost always loses seats in the mid term elections.
- The economy is struggling and headed for the toilet again.
- The Democrats have irritated a large number of Republicans and Independents with their health care reform bill. Worse yet for the Democrats their own base is not excited by the bill they passed.
I do not expect the Republicans to take both the Senate and the House; however, I do expect them to gain a significant number of seats in both the House and the Senate.

You are being very careful on your prognostication Mike. I think it’s going to be a bloodbath for Democrats. They are living in the same bubble I (and most repubs)was living in back in 2006, thinking “ah, yeah, we’ll lose some seats, but nothing too major”.
Advice to Dems: Don’t ignore the wrath of voters, We ignored them and took a well deserved ass-whooping. What goes around comes around and no matter how you spin it, there is a plethora of pissed off people out there and while they may not like us Repubs much, they like Dems a lot less right now.
