You might be having a bad election year if . . .

. . . you are a Democrat and Time has you down 6 on their generic congressional ballot poll. You know it has to be even worse in the real world.

. . . liberal allies fondly want a past president to help you out: George W. Bush.

. . . the economy is still getting worse with unemployment claims surging over 500,000.

My political bloodbath prediction yesterday is looking better already.
