And just as soon as I say that, this story pops up on Yahoo News:

Poll suggests 2012 change in power in Washington

Prior to the elections of 1994, 2006 and 2010 when party control changed hands in the House or Senate, many Americans said incumbents didn’t deserve re-election.

Now, we’re seeing the highest number of Americans in two decades who agree with that sentiment, spelling another potential “wave” election for 2012, USA Today reports.

Only 24 percent of all adults surveyed in the USA Today/Gallup poll said most members of Congress deserve re-election “the lowest percentage since Gallup began asking the question in 1991” the newspaper reports. USA Today notes this is similar to the level of support polled prior to the 1994, 2006 and 2010 elections. In 1994, Republicans won control of both the House and Senate. In 2006, Democrats won control of both the House and Senate. And last fall, Republicans won control of the House.

The “Vote the Bums Out” feeling is starting to gain momentum, no doubt in response to the kabuki theater we just saw these past few weeks. And it’s only going to get stronger as the GOP continues to keep things dysfunctional by acting like a bunch of spoiled children.
