Filed Under: Not Bloody Likely
By Kleinheider Posted on July 8, 2008 at 1:27 pmMichael Silence on the new poll showing Congressional approval in the single digits:
If that holds get ready to say President Obama. How ironic. Voters could toss the Congressional Dems and turn around and put one in the White House. Don’t put it past them.
One, revolutions don’t get overturned that quick. Two, do you really see a bunch of Republican congressional candidates out there likely to get ticket-splitting Obama voters? Name me one.

If you buy into those polls, then you can’t ignore the same polls that show Democrats having a 10 point or so advantage against Republicans in a generic congressional ballot.
People aren’t pissed because of what congress has done, they are pissed because of what they haven’t done…and that is largely due to the Republicans using cloture motions to block everything in the Senate. They have used that procedure more than any other congress in history, and then some.
“Two, do you really see a bunch of Republican congressional candidates out there likely to get ticket-splitting Obama voters? Name me one.”
Mike Erickson, candidate for 5th Congressional Dist. in Oregon. The state is chock-full of Obamacans.
