Take Note, Go Vote

According to tonight's episode of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll reveals some very interesting polling figures regarding the upcoming midterm elections.

Aside from the typical numbers for Bush's job approval (38%) and Bush's handling of the Iraq War (33%), there was one particular question that this poll has been asking for the past 12 years, namely "Which party do you want to see control Congress?". The results were 52% wanted Democrats to control Congress and 37% wanted Republicans to control Congress. The reason this particular question on this particular poll is so significant is that in this poll's 12 year history, no party has ever received more than 50% on this question.

Now, hold on Mr. Democrat! Stop counting those unhatched chickens and listen...Crag Crawford of Congressional Quarterly cautiously pointed out how this poll represents the opinions of registered voters and, considering how midterm elections usually have rather low voter turnout, this poll may not necessarily represent the group of people that actually go out and vote next month.

The point is, Mr. Democrat, the majority of voters want you in power. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to get these people to the polls on November 7th by any and all means necessary. Good luck.
