A New Congress in 2006?
In the middle of a Wall Street Journal analysis (look for the paragraph that starts "Republicans have lost the upper hand") of this week's election results is this nugget:
If the WSJ/NBC poll is to be believed, there may be a trend away from this condition, which is encouraging for the prospects of regaining Democratic control of Congress.
Maybe there's hope for those articles of impeachment, after all.
For the first time since the Republican congressional landslide [in 1994], a majority of respondents say it's time to replace their member of Congress.This has always been the problem with polling on whether the electorate wants a Republican or Democrat controlled Congress: Most congressional seats are considered "safe" because of gerrymandering, and people would gladly vote out the congress-critters in every other district but their own.
If the WSJ/NBC poll is to be believed, there may be a trend away from this condition, which is encouraging for the prospects of regaining Democratic control of Congress.
Maybe there's hope for those articles of impeachment, after all.
