A Vote Against Dems, Not for the GOP
Scott Rasmussen, Wall St. Journal
In the first week of January 2010, Rasmussen Reports showed Republicans with a nine-point lead on the generic congressional ballot. Scott Brown delivered a stunning upset in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election a couple of weeks later.In the last week of October 2010, Rasmussen Reports again showed Republicans with a nine-point lead on the generic ballot. And tomorrow Republicans will send more Republicans to Congress than at any time in the past 80 years.
Obama & Pelosi: A Failed Partnership
Hugh Hewitt, Washington Examiner
It takes a powerful collective repugnance to propel a national political rebuke. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Obama have accomplished an extraordinary thing. Tomorrow they will enter the history books as the most spectacularly failed partnership in modern American political history.Never in the last 100 years have two American politicians squandered so much political capital and achieved so complete a rejection as this duo. (I omit intentionally the hapless Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is very much the Lepidus in this triumvirate.)
Obama Misdiagnosed the Economy

Beware the GOP Coronation
Howard Kurtz, The Daily Beast
Republicans will win big, and the press coverage will be glowing. But don't forget: At the 100-days mark in his presidency, Obama walked on water. Howard Kurtz on the media's mood swings. Less than two years after taking office on a wave of hope, Barack Obama is on the verge of being slapped down by the electorate.The president is so battered, politically speaking, that some members of his own party are sprinting away from him while Republicans whack him like a piñata.
