More Depressing News for the GOP [Rich Lowry]
Just when you thought things were getting better, a new Gallup survey shows that Republicans lead on the generic congressional ballot among independents by only 22 points.
What accounts for this disappointing result?
I'm guessing it’s over-determined.
Surely, the baleful influence of talk radio is at work, and the party's rigid ideological conformity, and its inability to speak to voters outside the South.
The party may also already be experiencing the turbulence of its much-anticipated "civil war." I look forward to reading Frank Rich on Sunday for a more fully fleshed-out explanation for this ongoing Republican debacle.

WHAT WOULD BJ CLINTON SAY ABOUT THIS?
HE'D SAY THE GOP IS GROWING IN POPULARITY BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE WINNING.
TRUTH: WHEN YOU RUN AS A MODERATE AND GOVERN AS A SOCIALIST YOU'RE GONNA PISS OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR YOU.
- RAMMING THROUGH THE PORKULUS AND TRYING TO RAM OBAMACARE DOWN OUR THROATS - WHILE APOLOGIZING FOR AMERICA, DITHERING ON AFGHANISTAN AND DITHERING ON THE IRANIAN REBELLION - HAS OPENED A LOT OF PEOPLE'S EYES.
