When Clinton took office in 1992, there were dire warnings of permanent GOP irrelevance, but in 1994 they took Congress away from the Democrats for the first time in decades. 2010 will not be a repeat of the GOP success in 1994 for two reasons. First, there is no strong GOP leader. Gingrich almost single-handedly revitalized the GOP and put it in a position to win in 1994. Steele, Jindal, et. al. aren't even close to being in Gingrich's league. Second, the GOP had a plan and a vision in 1994. Contract With America, anyone? Yeah, the Dems laughed about it until it kicked their asses out of Congress. Now, there is no GOP vision other than just bitching about Obama. If there is a vision, Jindal sure as hell didn't articulate it earlier this week.
