Generic Republicans Blood the Way to Midterm Landslide!

Have you heard that tomorrow is Election Day?

By 55%-40%, those surveyed say they plan to vote for the Republican candidate, the widest margin since Democrats' advantage in the 1974 elections held in the wake of Watergate.

"If history holds, then this is the prediction of a Republican wave of genuinely historical proportions, possibly beyond the 1994 election," when Democrats lost control of the House and Senate, says Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. With Republican voters reporting record levels of enthusiasm, the GOP is poised for gains well beyond the turnover of 39 seats it needs to take control of the House.

Those numbers are based on a USA Today/Gallup poll of 1,500 likely voters. Republican triumphalists take note: "In the USA TODAY poll, 29% identify themselves as Republicans, fewer than in 2008." Translation: You suck less than the other party. Don't screw it up (again).
