Mad As Hell

Fewer than 9 weeks now remain until the November 7th midterm election. While 60 days can be a lifetime in politics, a national mood that has been present for months now seems to be intensifying -- angry.

As he does each week, the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza parses the polls and draws the conclusion that American voters are mad as hell. While the numbers make clear that voters have only slightly higher regard for Democrats than Republicans, they also realize who is running things these days.

These latest polls only confirm what we have been saying for months -- that a message of change and accountability is the way to go for Democratic challengers in 2006.

But Cillizza's piece also makes another point clear -- based on the polls to date, one can expect that the GOP base will vote in November. Again, as we have said, any Democratic strategy that presumes otherwise is foolish.

The 60-day sprint to the finish is on!
