Some House Republicans apparently blew off the recent warning from former Speaker Newt Gingrich that the GOP needs to get its act together to avoid a debacle in the general election. One could nitpick Newt's piece. For example, he places great weight on the loss of former Speaker Dennis Hastert's seat in a special election without recognizing that calling the Republican Party in Illinois a train wreck would be unfair to train wrecks. Moreover, while party ID has shifted significantly to the Democrats, the GOP's generic disadvantages on issues like taxes are likely to largely evaporate in most races by November.

Newt Gingrich is sending out the call to the Republicans in Congress: 'You're about to get decimated.' Check out his plan to stave off defeat. What do you think? Somehow I don't think a GPS air traffic control system, attacks on labor unions, and a reform of the way we do the census is going to be of much help. The Gas Tax holiday and selling some of the strategic petroleum reserve have more potential populist power, but are already seen as counterproductive by nearly all economists. I guess a focus on judges could help shore up their base, but their base is too small.

Some major doom-and-gloom for Republicans, from Newt Gingrich : Senator McCain is currently running ahead of the Republican congressional ballot by about 16 percentage points. But there are two reasons that this extraordinary personal achievement should not comfort congressional Republicans.
First, McCain's lead is a sign of the gap between the McCain brand of independence and the GOP brand. No regular Republican would be tying or slightly beating the Democratic candidates in this atmosphere. It is a sign of how much McCain is a non-traditional Republican that he is sustaining his personal popularity despite his party's collapse.
