Lately the Republican leadership position has been bent over with their hands on their ankles. They will try to get to the head of this parade just before election time if it looks like the Dems will get a 1994 style beating.
Unfortunately, you are right on with that comment. Anyone expecting the Republicans to save them is ditzier than the fools who think Obama is their Messiah IMO. Instead of heading to he!! in a handbasket at warp speed, we'll be traveling there like a runaway train if the Republicans take over in the House in '10. Of course, almost anything would be an improvement even if the destination is the same.
