There is little doubt that the GOP will make advances in November (for a myriad of reasons, some structural, some historical, some circumstantial). I never claimed otherwise. But to consider the reasons for said advances involves much more than the relative popularity of the actors in question.

Ah, but we're not just talking about "making advances" which is typical for the party out of power during off-year elections. We're talking about extraordinary events such as the first Republican being elected to the Senate from Massachusetts since 1972 - and in the Kennedy seat, no less.
But you keep telling yourself how Obama is so much more popular than the GOP. Hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.
