An Upper

If you're down from hearing all the Dhimmirat spin about how they're going to sweep the elections, then go read this at Don Surber. Highlights include:

"81 percent of Republican voters are "almost certain" to vote and an additional 14 percent say they are "very likely." It goes without saying that they'll vote Republican: By a margin of 84 percent to 6 percent, they will pull the GOP toggle switch in the voting booth. And here is something you don't hear very often: 88 percent of Republicans approve of how the prez is handling his job"

[ . . . ]

1. "Ranking at the top of what will motivate Republicans in 2006 is dealing with the foreign threats to our national security and supporting the President's leadership in the War on Terror."

2. "Republicans see the renewal of the Patriot Act, better protection of our borders, and NSA surveillance of terrorist phone calls and phone records as an interrelated set of issues. Fully 80% of the Base expresses extremely strong feelings about at least one of these steps to enhance our national security."

3. "Of the five issues on which we tested Democratic Party positions, its position on the War on Terror causes the strongest negative feelings, on average, from Republicans. A 56% majority of the Base has extremely strong feelings about the Democratic Party's WOT position."

4. "Proposals to erase the Bush tax cuts generate considerable anger from the Base."

Note that the memo (Don linked to it) is a PDF file.
