Beach time and relax you so guys enjoy. Better polls Hanster. One thing to dig into is something a Senator taught me. Find out if the base numbers are based upon citizens OR probable voters. ( not likely ) Makes a big diff. Also it seems Independents, male boomers are the pissed off ones. Women & young still hanging in the D fold and as they are the greatest users of government services that makes sense.

Once was told that 25% are MODO socy's are the D's base, 25% bible thumpers and god will get you are the R's base. The rest of us left/right of center depending how you peg center. In our state it was what was called a Scoop Jackson Demo or you could be a Rockefeller Republican ( or Dan Evans R ) and both were similar views. Once they were called the silent majority, then Reagan Democrats, now it is independents and frankly the D's are going to get the holy [censored] kicked out of them just like the R's did two years ago. It is throw the bums out time........................ but it is not for the R's but against the D's. The base of parties push forward things but why on hell the D's thought the Move On Dot Org bit would fly with bluedog D's and independents is beyond me. The plastic surgery queen and prince Harry have really screwed the President over but Mr. Clinton had the same thing happen and came out gunning and got more out of the R congress than the D one. BO he will adapt and frankly will do better as events make Presidents not parties. He just won't be happy about it. Life is a bitch.
