Independents Backing the GOP

From Politico:

Republicans are on the verge of broad wins next week for one big reason: independent voters are ready to boot Democrats from office, according to a new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll.

Expressing deep dissatisfaction with President Obama’s policies and performance, independents have increasingly sided with conservatives in the belief that government grew too large, too fast under Obama—and that it can no longer be trusted. In the final pre-election Battleground Poll, Republicans hold a 14-point edge among independents and lead overall, 47 percent to 42 percent, in the generic ballot match up…

Energize your base all you want, Democrats; that and $2.50 will get you a cup of coffee…though you might want to dig deep for about $20…you’ll be needing a bottle of whiskey come November 3rd to drown your sorrows.

You lied to the American people and you are about to pay the price for those lies. You told us Obama was a centrist. You told us you’d be transparent. You told us that you’d clean up the corruption. You told us you’d get spending under control You lied, Lied, LIED!!! You were just saying whatever you thought would work to get elected.

Well, you got elected – you “won”. Congratulations – now, how does that 2008 victory taste?

UPDATE: Rasmussen shows the GOP maintaining a 9 point lead in the “Generic” ballot. To bring us back down to earth, however, it also looks like the Maryland governorship is slipping away from us. We won’t win it all, fellow GOPers…we’ll just win a whole lot.
