Republicans have caught up to Democrats in the latest generic-ticket polling for the next Congressional elections.
Or more specifically, Dems have fallen back to the level of Republicans.
SWNID believes that in our era each generation of voters has to learn the same lesson: that the promises of the welfare state are appealing but empty. Our generation learned it by 1980, but it took 16 years to get there from LBJ's landslide, Nixon's triangulation, and Carter's moralistic paralysis. We're impressed that many in the present generation of youthful statists seem to be learning their lesson in a matter of weeks.
We expect more of the same in the next several months, unless Rs squander their opportunity with silliness, corruption and infighting.

"unless Rs squander their opportunity with silliness, corruption and infighting"
This possibility is all too likely in my opinion.
