A PRESENT FROM RASMUSSEN - AT 8:32 A.M. ET:  Rasmussen reports:

For the first time since Barack Obama was elected president last November, more than half of U.S. voters (53%) say it is at least somewhat likely that the next occupant of the White House will be a Republican. Thirty-one percent (31%) say it is Very Likely.

COMMENT:  The mainstream media is doing everything to create the image of the GOP as a dead or dying party, with little hope for the future.  A bunch of regional rednecks, that's what they are.  And they're stuck with BUSH (!!).

Not so fast, according to Rasmussen. 

If the Republican Party comes up with a positive program, advances the solid candidates it has in the wings, and gets out of its psychological paralysis, it can snap back.  So far, after all, Obama's policies have not shown any positive result.
