2008: We Can Win (?)

As far as the presidency, I've always continued to think we held the advantage, though polling and fundraising would suggest otherwise. (Apparently Chinese busboys are going for the Hillster in a big way.) Of course, I wrote Congress off more or less entirely, hoping, at least, to have at least forty decent Republicans to filibuster when needed, and little more.

But Patrick Ruffini says dawn is breaking for the GOP after our long political nightmare. There is some hope we might gain seats, even.

A big more about the surprisingly close special election in MA-5.

Running against the current Congress, with its 11% approval rating, apparently works.

Oh, and Kaus, naturally, suggests that the Republican's anti-amnesty stance helped him too, even in Bright Blue Massachusetts.

Michael Barone disagrees, stating that the Republican long-shot's strong performance was due to both immigration and taxes.
