Gallup has the GOP at its greatest lead over Dems in 63 years.

GALLUP: GOP Takes Unprecedented 10-Point Lead on Generic Ballot...

Editor's notes:
the significance of this development should not escape us. It has been years since the GOP had any sort of lead as relates to the "generic" ballot. Understand that this category of comparison means to pit unnamed Republican opponents against unnamed Democrat opponents. When used as a predictor of midterm elections, as is the case this year, the "generic ballot" has been proven accurate to a factor of 1.1 % -- which means to say that it is extremely accurate as an election forecast agent.

But, it is not that the GOP is simply ahead in the generic ballot polling, it is 10 points ahead, the highest separation for the GOP in the history of the Gallup poll, dating back to 1947.

Unless the Dems can figure out how to side with the American people on at least one major political issue, their defeat in the coming elections may be of a historical margin. They have time to turn this around, to a degree, but the stage will be set by the end of September, for the most part.

Tonight, Obama will address the American people on the war in Iraq - of all things - at a time when jobs are nearly non-existent, just two weeks following the establishment of a nuclear Iran under the Obama watch, at a time when Syria is in full partnership with Iran as they build a military alliance in Venezuela, after it has become known that China is doubling the size of its military at all levels and on the eve of another round of terrible financial numbers with regard to housing and employment.

It is this kind of political ineptitude that has run the numbers up on the generic ballot poll. As a conservative pundit, we are disappointed in the GOP for its failure to get its ideas "out there." That being said, this election cycle is all about the Democrats, their arrogance in governance and their profound disconnect with the American people.
