GOP recruitment seen as positive for 2022 election

 Breitbart:

The lobbying firm Mehlman Castagnetti Rosen & Thomas released an analysis of the election years the House of Representatives changed the majority, indicating a potential “Red Wave” coming in the midterms after the Republicans have had a strong recruiting year.

The analysis showed that the trend of good recruitment indicates strong potential for a “Red Wave.”

One of the charts shows that “Republicans are more eager to run” for office than Democrats, and historic trends demonstrate that having more candidates running gives you better chances of winning.

In 1998 the Republicans only had ten more candidates running than the Democrats did, which led to the Democrats gaining net five seats. And in 2002, the Republicans had 39 more candidates running, which led to a net gain of eight GOP seats.

However, when either side had over a hundred more candidates than the other, it resulted in a “wave.”
...

In addition, the analysis showed that Democrats are “more eager” to retire than Republicans during a midterm year. In this midterm election, there have already been 34 Democrats who have retired.
...

These are additional tea leaves which suggest the Republicans will have a good election result in 2022.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
