Last weekend, I joined about 100 other people in a "tea party" protest of Baron Hill's fundraiser with Barack Obama's chief of staff. There is palpable frustration with Obama's policies, and nationally more people are identifying as conservatives in opinion polls. After a truly pathetic showing in 2008 led by a pathetic candidate at the top of the ticket, Republicans are looking to have a very good year in 2010. The national tide might even allow the beleaguered Republican Party in Monroe County to put up a good showing in local elections.
