There's a lot of Republican angst over the coming elections. They fear they are going to get trounced. Democrats now lead in polls on every issue. Some Republicans like Newt Gingrich are calling for the party to chart a new course to regain the advantage. Yet he offers no new course, just a taste of the old.

The problem for the GOP is they have no new course to set. They have pushed through pretty much everything they wanted over the last six years, and Americans have discovered what a disaster that created. The only things Republicans didn't push through are policies voters really hate, like destroying Social Security.

We've hit the crest of the Republican wave, and it has no where to go but back. I'm not even sure another major terrorist attack could scare the public back their way. GOP, welcome to your nightmare.
