Re: "no voter remorse yet?"

Clearly (if the polling is any judge) there seems to be a VERY STRONG tide of anti-incumbent sentiment right now.

Unfortunately (I suppose <g>) the GOP seems to come in at the *very bottom* of the public's esteem right now though, shorty.

So, yeah! I'd venture to say that there appears to be a lot or 'remorse' and 'hang 'em all HIGH' sentiment at this moment:

... The tea party movement is mostly famous for its flamboyant fringe. But it is now more popular than either major party. According to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll:

41 percent of Americans have a positive view of the tea party movement.

Only 35 percent of Americans have a positive view of the Democrats and,

only 28 percent have a positive view of the Republican Party.

The movement is especially popular among independents. The Rasmussen organization asked independent voters whom they would support in a generic election between a Democrat, a Republican and a tea party candidate:

The tea party candidate won, with 33 percent of independents.

Undecided came in second with 30 percent.

The Democrats came in third with 25 percent and,

the Republicans fourth with 12 percent....
