GOP Rout Could Be Historic

Thins are looking worse and worse for the Democrats this cycle. The latest Gallup tracking poll has Republicans leading in the generic congressional ballot among registered voters, 51% to 41%.

It's the GOP's lead is the largest so far this year and is its largest in Gallup's history of tracking the midterm generic ballot for Congress.

And remember this is registered voters. The likely voter model is the one that usually favors the GOP. The number among likely voters could be well into the teens.

Another news item that caught my attention was the fact that Tea Party groups were preparing to bring some serious cash to challenge Mike Castle (R) in the Delaware primary this Sept. I have said before how Castle would be a solid, yet moderate, republican voice in the Senate. I hope in an effort to move the country to the right, we do not end up pushing all moderates out.
