Cleaning house

November 7th has all of the earmarks of a 'thrown the bums out' election. The war, corruption and sex scandals, an unpopular President and a compliant Congress of the same party; people are pissed and want a measure of accountability. If these poll numbers hold, there are going to be a lot of new faces in the people’s House.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Half of all Americans believe most members of Congress are corrupt -- a figure that has risen 12 points since the start of the year -- and more than a third think their own representative is crooked, according to a new poll released Thursday by CNN.
According to the poll, a majority disapproves of how both parties are handling their jobs in Congress. Just 42 percent approve of how the Democrats are doing in Congress, while 54 percent disapprove. The GOP fares even worse -- only 36 percent approve of their performance in Congress, while 61 percent disapprove.

If you are the party in power, these numbers should scare the hell out of you. People are looking for a change and that means the Majority is going to take a serious hit.
