Thread Name: BS: WSJ Poll: Congress: 16%
Subject: BS: WSJ Poll: Congress: 16%
Wall St Journal/ NBC News poll: Congress' popularity 16%
The only questions now are: will Republicans come out to support their own individual Congressmen--giving the lie to the poll? Or sit at home? And will independents desert the Republicans in as great numbers as the poll suggests?
The Republicans still have a smooth-running get-out-the vote machine. And they still have money--though not as much as they planned on at this point--have had to spend a lot in the past few weeks.
The Democrats are ready to cut Bush and his supporters down to size.
Strong similarities to 1994--though the Republicans are nowhere near as complacent as the Democrats were then.
