in the recent past people were commenting at how lucky the Republicans were that the Dems were botching things so badly it made them look good. I can't help but thinking things have turned around a bit, and the only reason the Dems aren't being blown away as badly as you posit is due to some very significant mis-steps on the part of the Republicans, most notably on the business of illegal immigration.
As an aside, I haven't seen you posting outside of your blog here on TH, and would like to recommend that you visit BrianR's blog,
