I was listening to Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania and Governor Barbour of Mississippi on "Meet the Press" with David Gregory this morning while they discussed the Democratic and Republican Parties and the upcoming election in 2010. They were debating who would best benefit in 2010 over the issue of health care, government spending and the unemployment rate. David Gregory pointed out some people saying that the Democrats projected spending this year and the unemployment rate of 10.2% would, in one example, cause a "Tidal Wave" for the GOP in 2010. I would argue that the "Tidal Wave" would instead, be a great "Tsunami" for the Democratic Party.
....
By becoming the Party of ‘No’ since January 20, 2009; the Republican Party has put themselves in the position of being the Party that was ‘wiped out’ by a Tsunami in November of 2010.
When voters see that they will soon have health care coverage and won’t lose what they have. When they see that the economy is growing instead of melting and that jobs are finally coming around and the risk of losing their own is less. When they see our roads, bridges, electric grids and infrastructure have all been improved since the Democratic Party took control – I predict there will be the greatest political Tsunami in history. This "Tsunami wave" will wipe out what is left of, what is today known as, the Republican Party.
