John Hinderaker over at Powerline has a rather dismal, but probably realistic update on Republican chances for the upcoming election.
With a month to go, the election is looking bleak for us conservatives. The current economic crisis should, by rights, hurt the Democrats, who bear far more responsibility for causing it than the Republicans. But the public doesn’t understand that, and blames anything bad on the party that controls the White House, however irrational that may be. And, of course, the television networks and newspapers aren’t going out of their way to enlighten the voters.
I think that pretty much sums it up. The last sentence has a special ring of truth to it.
The only bright spot is that the NY Times will continue to see it’s circulation decline as it becomes less and less relevent. That said, I wouldn’t call Obama for the demise of the Times a good trade.
