Ideas Anyone?

The Anniston Star » Brandt Ayers: Does the GOP have any ideas?:

"Polls showing massive gains for the Democratic Party have raised fair questions: Do Democrats have ideas, and is the GOP a governing party or a permanent opposition incapable of actually ruling?

When nearly 70 percent of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction, that is a statement about GOP governance, but does it say Democrats have a better idea?

“These numbers are scary. We’ve lost every advantage we’ve ever had,” GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio said. “The good news is Democrats don’t have much of a plan. The bad news is they may not need one.”

The war is depressing President Bush’s approval rating, says Reagan pollster Richard Wirthlin. “It’s hard to imagine any set of circumstances that would lead to an enhancement of public support,” he said. “It is more likely to go down, and the question is how far and how fast.”

Even in nine Deep South states, the president’s job performance was disapproved by 50 percent to 45 percent in a poll by Southern GOP strategist Hastings Wyman."
