WASHINGTON -- The bad news has come from Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi -- a string of unexpected Republican defeats in congressional elections that have prompted GOP leaders to say, with candor unusual in politics, that the party is facing an outright catastrophe this November.

Increasingly, top Republicans are calling on their party to reinvent itself or risk driving away more voters and donors. The GOP image is so stale, said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), in a memo to colleagues last week, that "if we were a dog food, they would take us off the shelf" because nobody is buying it.

It's ours to lose, folks. All we have to do is listen to the "Obama can't win" crowd, the Sour Grapes Brigade, and the crepe hangers and we could boot the opportunity of the century.

If everyone gets off their asses, takes their collective thumb out of their collective mouth, and works like hell, we could have the White House, and solid majorities in both houses of Congress for years to come.

3. Breaking News: 70 Senate seats for Democratic party

When I get out of bed the morning after election day, that is the banner I would like to see on my TV screen. Then we could really get something done, starting with undoing everything from the last 8 years.
