Now I feel bad. Maybe I should pretend to become a super-capitalist to restore some balance.

Yes, Congress has abysmal approval ratings. However, the Democrats Top 3 Presidential candidates have much higher favorability rankings than the Republicans (sans McCain, who last I checked was still behind). As does the party in multiple polls.

What he said was wrong. Those Democrats in government don't have a large gap in favorability, nor is the gap large when you compare their front runner with the GOP's front runner.

First off, Congress generally has a history of lower ratings, this is due to those who don't like the President feeling they aren't doing enough to stop the President, and those who like the President feel they are doing too much in stopping the President, but this is what i was referring to.

Those gaps don't appear to be small do they.....


Regarding the possible candidates on each side.   Despite what you may claim their really is no GOP front runner after each state the front runner changes.  McCain is the only candidate who is competitive against Obama or Clinton, some polls ahve him up slightly others have him down slightly.  Every poll has both Obama and Clinton trouncing Huckabee, Romney and Giuliani.

Your first half of the post is meaningless as I said that Dems overall are viewed more positively now.

Regardless of whether or not we have a frontrunner (even though we will after tonight), we are still running close to the Dems in General election polls. The Dems only really "trounce" a Republican candidate if that candidate is Romney and even then, you guys won't get a landslide.

And this is why the forum is fine. We're still having reasoned, intelligent debates.

Maybe on April Fools Day we can have everyone have pretend to have the opposite ideology.

I'm game.
