Seems the news from the GOP side of the aisle just keeps getting better and better or worse and worse, depending on your orientation:

Top Republicans are privately bracing for the possibility that they could lose additional House seats in next year’s elections as a result of untimely retirements, ongoing scandals and unexpectedly gloomy fundraising forecasts, according to several members and aides.

It seems every day brings more bad news for Republicans. As Politico first reported Friday, House Majority Leader John Boehner and his campaign chief, Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, are at war over campaign tactics and operations. Boehner is demanding a major shake-up at the National Republican Congressional Committee.

And besides being morally bankrupt as a political party, the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is charged with getting GOPers elected to Congress, is literally broke. As in having more debt than cash.

At the end of August, the National Republican Congressional Committee reported only $1.6 million cash on hand, with $4 million in debt. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, by comparison, had banked over $22 million, with only $3 million in debt.

Of course, a popular Republican presidential candidate could pull in the big bucks and help hold some jeopardized congressional seats, but the key word there is “popular.” Unfortunately for the Repugs, a recent Mason-Dixon poll found that Undecided is running neck and neck with Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. That’s not going to energize the base.

A popular incumbent president could also be of some fundraising use to the GOP, but George W. Bush has become a pariah to his party, and is widely hated by Democrats and Republicans alike.

“If the election were held this November, Republicans would be in for a disastrous result,” said Cook Political Report House analyst David Wasserman. “The thinking goes: It will have to be another cycle before Republicans get their act together.”

Excuse me for being gleeful, but it looks bad for the Republicans. The only downside is that it looks good for the Democrats, who have shown they don’t know what to do with a majority when they get one. And they’d rather circle up for a firing squad than loosen their stupid rules on primary dates. Too bad it’s probably going to take another election cycle before the Dems get their act together, too.
