Loud does not = popular

Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Steele may have captured the prize for making the most obnoxious political noise and inciting the most fear; but like Liberace, who cried all the way to the bank over people ridiculing him, the Dems may be able to cry all the way to the ballot boxes in 2010.

The insinuation lately has been that the Republicans could take back control of the House in 2010, and they've been doing everything possible to stonewall the legislative agenda so they can declare Obama's presidency a failure.

An ABC/WashingtonPost poll shows that the Repub's self-congratulations may be premature. Only 20% identified themselves as Republicans, the lowest number since 1983.

Moreover, only 19% trust Republicans in Congress to make the right decisions, compared to 49% who trust Obama to do the right thing.

On a pairing of a generic Democrat and a generic Republican in a Congressional race, the Democrat has a 51-39 point edge.

Now think what it might be once health care reform is passed !!! And it's looking increasingly likely that this will happen -- even with a public option plan of some sort.
