Hmm, the president is at 30% approval and the Democrats just swept the Republicans out of Congress last month.........and you don't think the country is in the mood for change???
Depends on what you mean by change. I don't think people feel secure enough to throw everything aboard and jump into the abyss. That doesn't mean they're not ready for change in the sense that they may want to throw out incumbents. But look at 2006. Was this about "change" in the sense of choosing something completely new? Some Republicans were knocked off because of scandals, but generally the new Democrats were not crazy mavericks, but experienced politicians (Webb is a glaring exception of course, but given his military back-ground, still not a shot in the dark).
