Studying for Mid-Terms

In their latest memo, James Carville and Stan Greenberg provide a strategic framework for Democrats to use for the fall elections.
“The goal is an upheaval in 2006, now a genuine possibility. The moment is right because Bush’s problems are now so clear, deep and long-standing, and because Republicans too are now part of the problem. A large majority of the country is determined to vote against candidates who support Bush’s direction for the country. Even now, the Democrats have near landslide leads in the races for the House and Senate, but to consolidate that position and translate it into congressional majorities, Democrats can now take this election to a new stage.”
The latest Democracy Corps poll finds Democrats “have moved into an 11-point lead in the generic Congressional vote (using actual candidates names), and Republicans are running at only 49% in counties carried by Bush in 2004.”
In the race for the Senate, Democrats have a 12-point lead (52% to 40%); Republican candidates in competitive Republican-held seats are getting only 40% of the vote.
Fuck James Carville.
I fear that the Dems will find a way to f*uck this up.
