Unfortunately, I think the congressional leaders of both parties are pretty feckless. Between Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and Boehner, there isn't one I'd buy a used car (or a piece of used audio equipment) from. Certainly, there something wrong with the system they use to pick their leaders. Plus, once they've been selected the only thing that'll get 'em tossed is being found in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy* (and that may not even work from Pelosi considering that she's from SF).

Ah, but it seems the only thing people dislike more than a Democrat is a... wait for it... Republican! John Boehner- 24% favorable! Wow! If you watch the "liberal media" you would think Pelosi and Reid were the least popular people on earth.
The lesson? Yeah, there's some backlash to a party that gets such a huge gain. Always is. But I wouldn't be too quick to look for a huge Republican swing in 2010.
