Waiting for 2012

MANIFESTO

Now that the Republicans have taken control of the House, it may not be too early to think about what the next election holds in store for us.

While it's interesting to note that Senator Sanctimony is essentially dead meat—with "an approval rating of 33 and a disapproval of 54 (a 21-point spread)"—it's discomfiting to think that "Republicans ... at least right now, [are] in a strong position to retake the Senate in two years."

Of course, the latter projection includes Holy Joe, who hasn't been a Democrat since 2006.

It seems to me that either the Crotchkicker or Rob Simmons will run for the Senate for the Republicans in 22 months. Needless to say, these are pretty slim pickings. Fortunately, the Dems seem to have more serious candidates in the mix.
