Writing in the Baltimore Sun (Reg. Required), Paul West attempts a ‘Monday morning assessment’ of the latest scandal to hit the republicans: “Whether Republicans suffer serious long-term damage may depend largely on the ability of Democrats to capitalize on the latest blow to the party in command on Capitol Hill. So far, Democrats have shown little, if any, ability to take advantage of the opportunities presented by Bush’s summer-long erosion in popularity and rising anger at high gas prices…..
“Democrats are leaving a lot of votes on the table,” concluded Greenberg and Carville. Their poll found that support for Democrats in next year’s congressional elections stands at 48 percent in their survey - the same share of the vote the Democrats got in 2004.”
