Memoes are flying from the DNC Office

.
Here's the scoop, even though the coverage is sparse at the national level, the Republicans are making a surge. Elections this year are a bell weather I think.

So the MSM is attempting to get in front of the elections of 2010, with articles like this.

GOP victory Tuesday won't erase party's problems
.
While I agree that it's up hill, and the Republican party needs some work, I'm not buying that it's as bleak as Ms Sidoti thinks.

For Republicans, an election win of any size Tuesday would be a blessing. But victories in Virginia, New Jersey or elsewhere won't erase enormous obstacles the party faces heading into a 2010 midterm election year when control of Congress and statehouses from coast to coast will be up for grabs.

It's been a tough few years for the GOP. The party lost control of Congress in 2006 and then lost the White House in 2008 with three traditional Republican states - Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia - abandoning the party.

So even if political winds start blowing harder behind them and even if they can capitalize on Democratic missteps, Republicans still will have a long way to go over the next year because of their party's own fundamental problems - divisions over the path forward, the lack of a national leader and a shrinking base in a changing nation.
.
In fact, 2009 seems to have underscored what may be the biggest impediment for Republicans - the war within their base.
.
I see way more division among Dems right now than in the Republican camp. And recent polls show the conservative side growing, not shrinking. Later in the article she typed in these words, "Rush Limbaugh", without saying fat, racist, bombastic or cretin.
.
It's got to be scary when you write for the AP, and Limbaugh is the reliable source for your story. And down playing a REPUBLICAN governor in NJ has gotta sting worse than the Limbaugh thing. I mean Corzine has been such a nationally known success, how could it happen this way?
