New poll shows voters favour democrats for November election.

I didn't mean to make you feel like I was putting you in check, ladybug. I just get irritated by the "throw the bums out...but not my bums" attitude. It's not possible for all politicians to be bad...except for the one this person or that person likes. It's funny that you mentioned big business, by the way. As you know our governor is not running for reelection because he's running for a Senate seat. A candidate to replace him as governor has recently appeared on my television. He seems like a nice guy but he's a business man and so far is only focusing on "Charlie Crist bad...me good". I need waaaaay more information about this guy to even consider voting for him.

Well, that's good then. You also give me a perspective I don't normally get down here in my little world. No one can learn anything if their mind is closed to all possibilities.

Spalladino - I like when you put me in check. I do lean a little left, and sometimes forget that republicans in office are actually people, and maybe even qualified. I don't like any of the religious candidates who have to blatantly announce it, and I don't like big business, but, maybe, somewhere, there is a republican candidate who can meet my standards. I have yet to see one, but, thanks to people like you, I will be keeping a keen eye on the candidates voting history and overall performance. I have to be honest - I will most likely never vote for a republican, but I will give more time to researching their performance before automatically discounting them. And only because of people like you.

How is this post any different than those saying the republicans will own 2010, and going on to call Obama a usurper or a communist or alleging he pals around with terrorists, etc. I, quite frankly, don't need any responses from my opposition, as they are tired used and canned and ill informed arguments. I am hoping that more lefty bugs flock to mylot, and they will in time, as I have seen them coming aboard and shifting the balance, no longer making this republican-lot. "As sane people begin to see the effect . . ." was a paraphrase as one of the commenters posting in the article. Palin and Bachman are complete lunatics, and those are the two that the GOP has to rely on right now. They are the ones making waves and media storms, but as a laughing stock. Any sane person would realize that the job market, real estate, health care, are all turning around due to Obama's and the dems policies, while the GOP plays obstructionist. Any crazed right wing nut would look at Palin, the tea party, or Bachman as a prophet. I am allowed to be angry - I live in this country, where the right wing continues to spread injustice.

I disagree with just about everything you've written, Leftybug. "I, quite frankly, don't need any responses from my opposition, as they are tired used and canned and ill informed arguments." And you sound quite closed minded and intolerate. In other words, a typical liberal. Where are those jobs? I don't see them. When will the foreclosures stop? In one county in Florida there is always about 650 Fannie Mae foreclosures as long as I've been paying attention to it (months). Health care is gonna cost much more than was first projected. Obama is sending us right to the poor house.

Piasa - Only maters can call me leftybug. I am assuming you don't listen to the news? Put on NPR once in a while, and you will learn of the increase in jobs, and the housing market rebound. Because Obama is doing a great job conquering the monstrous debt Bush created for him to tackle, he is working on the financial aspect of the healthcare reform, and making sure everything is sustainable. Are you currently making six figures? This is mostly taxing at a very small percentage on those making $200k plus. Obama is looking out for the blue collar workers, the impoverished, and the middle class. And this is sending us to the poor house - how?

I'd urge you to take a look at the comments more than the polls. My lefty friends are doing a great job defending our wing. I think, though, common amongst both wings, they want the incumbents out.

I just don't think I could ever vote republican. The closest I have come to respecting one in office is Eric Cantor. I don't believe in his beliefs, but, I think he is one very strategic and intelligent guy, and could command a room.
