An Early Hint of a 2010 GOP Comeback

Believe it or not, we are already getting an early hint that the GOP may be making a comeback in 2010 after a series of devastating losses in 2 straight elections--2006 and 2008.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is in deep trouble for 2010.

In fact, the Senator is so frightened by the numbers he's seeing that he has already begun his re-election bid for 2010.

This is in spite of the fact that Reid is the first Senate Majority Leader in decades to be heading up such an overwhelming majority in the chamber.

According to the Wall Street Journal, here is part of what Reid faces:

A recent Research 2000 poll of likely voters put his approval rating at 38% and his disapproval rating at 54%, a possible reflection of voters' displeasure with gridlock and partisanship in Washington. And while Nevada broke for President-elect Barack Obama by 12 percentage points in November, the state voted for President George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

It is also no small matter that Congress is getting its lowest approval rating in history, with only 9% of Americans stating that it is doing a good job.

Although the demographics indicate that Republicans face an uphill struggle to gain back its losses in 2010 due to the fact that more Republicans are up for re-election than Democrats, the task is certainly not impossible with bumbling far-Left Democrats such as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi running the show.
