It's nice that the Dems are starting to take the blame for the economy, but there's also huge frustration with whichever party's in power, sheer anti-incumbency. While the GOP will most likely make significant gains next November, simply pulling a John Kerry and saying "I'm not the other guy so vote for me" won't give us a 1994 all over again. The GOP hasn't shed it's over-spending baggage from the Bush years yet. While the tea party movement might shore up things on that front, there's the further problem of finding practical solutions to the economy/health care/afghanistan, etc, which no one seems to have in either party.
