Republicans' Best Hope? Stop Imitating Democrats

It will be interesting how this mid-term election pans out. Polls have predicted Democratic wins in the past only to see the Republicans win. That is an indication that the polls were skewed in some fashion so that when public they become an attempt to sway votes to the Democrats. On the other hand, there is a great dissatisfaction among Republicans and Democrats on how the war in Iraq is being prosecuted. The dissatisfaction is different from each Party, but it is there nonetheless. This indeed could affect the elections in November against the current Republican majority.

I think Kevin Hassett is correct. If the Republicans focus the election in 2006 and 2008 on the base that got them there in the first place, the Republicans will prevail. The key is to re-connect to the Christian Right base with issues that promote Christian Right agendas.

That will drive the Liberal Democrats insane. The Democrats have the polls to back a Republican unseating; however the electorate that is most powerful still view issues dear to their heart. The Democrats have polls, but not the hearts of voting majority. That has to suck for them.
