The Color Purple: 2010 not looking good for Dems

By GottaLaff

Via The Plum Line:

* An ominous analysis for Dems from Charlie Cook, who says that blue state members of the House have no idea how bad the party’s problems really are.

* Eric Cantor, apparently, agrees: He told Chris Good that if the midterms were held today, the GOP would take back the House.

Cook focuses on the color purple:

What we are seeing is an electorate growing just as disgusted with the Democratic majority as it did with the Republican one in 2006. The mounting ethics problems of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., combined with ongoing allegations about House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Murtha, D-Pa., and others on his panel threaten to make matters still worse for their party.

Sure, November 2010 is a long way off, and the economy may well be substantially better by then. But Democratic lawmakers, who must face the voters two years before Obama does, should remember that the public's attitudes tend to eventually harden. Think cement.

As for Cantor, I'm in no mood to entertain anything that he may or may not be thinking.
