In contrast to the article just below here are some positive, real news signs of the discord and chaos in the Republican Party. John Aravosis reports:

House Republicans already fighting and blaming each other for losing power

The House GOPers have already begun the blame game. They know they're going to lose tomorrow and they're looking for scapegoats:

House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's future is in doubt even if the Republicans retain control of the House because of unease among GOP lawmakers about his handling of the Foley page scandal and what a House ethics committee investigation might conclude about him, according to several Republican aides.

House Chief Deputy Whip Eric I. Cantor (R-Va.) said last week that the House Republican leadership elections scheduled for Nov. 15 should be postponed until the ethics committee delivers its final report. House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) confirmed yesterday on "Fox News Sunday" that he and Hastert have discussed that possibility. "We'll see how Tuesday goes and then we'll make some decisions."

Now, if they really want a scapegoat, the Hill Republicans really just need to look down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Their unquestioned fealty to Bush -- and failure to ever challenge him -- is one reason for their demise. They need to factor in their own incompetence and corruption, too.

But, clearly, the Republicans on the Hill are sharpening the knives. It's going to get ugly. Can't wait to watch.

We can’t either John. Did you order in some extra popcorn?

The always informative Steve Gilliard has a theory too.

It's funny, people are looking at national polling data or even local polls and saying "it's tightening up".

Well, if you need things to worry about, you can worry about that.

But I think there's one poll they haven't conducted, the angry voter poll. The angry voters made 2004 closer than people thought it would be. Now, the GOP is hoping that their targeted appeals with robocall suppression will save some seats and prevent a massacre tomorrow.

But I like to think that there's a voter polling is just missing. They don't answer the calls, because they don't have the time, they use cellphones exclusively, they work off hours, whatever. But every time they see Bush talk about Iraq or Pete King's smug face, they have decided they have to vote and the GOP has to go.

People are predicting a low turnout election. My feeling, is if the weather is good across the country, as it is today, turnout won't be that low. And if a bunch of voters who usually come out only in presidential years show up, it won't be to vote for Bush.

This is admittedly a theory, but then, as the politically driven christianists and their Republicans partners insist, so is evolution and gravity.

He also gives a lot of credence to the family-threatening scandals that have plagued the Republican Party:

So, they are aren't going to see the people who are going to vote angry tomorrow. The problem with the base voter strategy is that if the moderates jump ship, all you have is the base and you can't win with the base.

Another reason I think this may be a factor is the personal nature of the GOP corruption. The Foley story touches people where they live. So they may answer the GOP calls, they may express a preference for Republicans, but in their hearts, they are still so angry about their own trauma, that when they get in the booth, they won't be voting GOP.

Now, if it was just Iraq, I doubt that would be in play, but sexual abuse is often a hidden secret, even between married couples. I think when Mark Foley was discovered, a lot of a Republican-leaning women decided it was time for a change. Men made the same leap when Bush kept defending his failed war.

I think people have stopped listening to the GOP, because for the most part, their pitches are tonedeaf. Finish the job in Iraq, they''ll raise your taxes? Huh? The fact is that getting out of Iraq is the issue, period.

Joe Sixpack and his wife Mary Jane Soccermom may not understand all the nuances of foreign and domestic policy, but they’re very clear about the evils of child predators, and in their subconscious minds, homosexual meth-addicted “christian” ministers are also threats to their own families.
