Ever the optomist, Hugh Hewitt sees the up side in the latest polling and Bush's numbers, and consitnues to see a trend toward Painting the Map Red:
But with the rejection of the immigration approach favored by the Democrats and the mavericks [really? we'll see. The GOP has plenty of time to show thir lack of a spine], the appearance of some fiscal discipline among some senators [some? how may? two? three? "fiscal discipline?], the slow but certain march towards the confirmation of future Judges Kavanaugh, Boyle, Haynes [my bet is two out of these three do not get confirmed. Gutless weasels in the Senate won't allow it] etc, the word that the White House will be back in the judicial nominations business very soon, and --most of all-- the return of the war to the public's consciousness because of Iran's manifest aggressiveness on nukes and Israel and undeniable threats in Central and South America, suddenly the election if framed --again--- as a choice between the serious though flawed party of victory, growth, and border security [huh?] and the party of surrender, to both the jihadists abroad and the demands for amnesty now and again in the future at home.
I'd like to agree with Hugh, but how? Fiscal discipline? Border security? Please.

It's not as easy as it looks, HH.
Posted by: Monkey RobbL at May 7, 2006 12:55 PMI would not be at all surprised if this midterm election had the lowest turnout in decades. It seems like nobody is even TRYING to give the electorate someone to vote for. They're not even pandering well.

Posted by: JamesPh. at May 8, 2006 06:42 PMOh, it's not just a "your mother" comment, he shows a wanton disregard for spelling, punctuation, and grammar, as if he were on a personal mission to make David's head explode.
