The people are speaking out. They are more than miffed at the folks in congress and want a change.
Most Americans describe themselves as being in an anti-incumbent mood heading into this fall's midterm congressional elections, and the percentage of people who approve of their own representative's performance is at the lowest level since 1994, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
As attention turns to Connecticut for Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's Democratic primary showdown today, the poll found some of the same political currents that have buffeted his campaign flowing through the national electorate. The public has soured on politicians backing the Iraq war, which Democrats consider the most important issue of the election.
While the Lieberman/Lamont showdown has dominated the news and blogs, I have to say at least voters in Connecticut have a freakin' choice. As I have mentioned before, the DSCC meddled in TN deciding that voters should not be able to make a choice of dem senators, which, a number of progressives feel, had a direct impact on local elections.
It is pretty plain, and has been for some time, that the people want a change. The mid-term elections couldn't have come soon enough for some. What I found disappointing in this article, is the continued statements that dems don't know what their party stands for. Perhaps not all dems have read the playbook, so I have to believe that the reiteration of that mantra is nothing more than propoganda from republican operatves.
