It seems to be one of life's self-evident realities. The news that when the GOP acts conservative they win has been hashed out in my mind for years, yet every election cycle the GOP seems to undergo an internal tug-of-war over the direction of the party. Why does the GOP tolerate RINO's like Snowe, Collins, and Sphincter? In addition to all the historical evidence proving that the GOP is strongest when they are conservative, there is this new info out - even with the media and the internet and an army of mindless morons like the crowd in Ft Myers, Florida the other day, the GOP can compete.
Republicans Trail Obama Dems By One Point in Poll--Anti-Stimulus Push Is Working

Astonishing news on the generic ballot question. Pollster Scott Rasmussen reports that Democrats are currently ahead of Republicans by only 40 percent to 39 percent. Given that this generic ballot question over the years has tended to understate Republicans' performances in actual elections, one gathers that if the 2010 election for House seats were held today, Republicans would win or come close to winning a majority of seats—which is to say, they would gain about 40 seats. By way of comparison, they gained 52 seats when they won their majority in 1994. This result may just be a momentary blip, which will pass away as quickly as it appeared, and we are a long, long, long way from the November 2010 elections. But if I were a Democratic member of Congress in even a marginally marginal district, I would be just a little bit worried. And if I were a conservative cheerleader against the Obama/Pelosi stimulus package, I would be concentrating less of my fire against the three Republicans who supported the Senate version and more on Democratic members of the House and (at least those who are up for reelection in 2010) the Senate.
