Yep, even a RINO winning in CA is a big deal, and shows just how weak the Democrats are this election cycle.

Thinking back to the '94 landslides, with nothing to really telegraph it would happen, (in the MSM at least) and arguably less provocation from Clinton, only the '94 AWB comes to mind, vs. 6 HUGE issues with the voters this time:

The economy
Stimulus spending
Healthcare
Deficit
BP
Weakness in foreign affairs

This COULD be a rout of unimaginable proportions.

In '94 I think the issue bigger then the AWB was HillaryCare. 

Now with Obamacare, the Economy in tailspin, and the lack of leadership across the board, the losses could be epic.   In '94 the Repubs gave people something to vote FOR, The Contract with America.   Now, they have nothing, other then "We're Not Them."   It's "Meh" at best.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I don't think it's quite true that the Republicans lack a plan, but I do think many lack intestinal fortitude.
