Dem pollster: If the election were held today, it'd be another 1994

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Stan Greenberg — alongside his fellow strategist and party adviser James Carville — said that the signs of electoral bloodbath exist today, though not quite as strongly as they did 16 years ago.

“We are on the edge of it. but we are not there,” Greenberg said, at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “If the election were now, we would have a change election; we would have a 1994.”…

“I wouldn’t run against the Tea Party,” said Greenberg. “I would run against Republicans. The Tea Party has clearly made the Republican leaders… they have been muffled. They have been unwilling to talk against the extremism because of the risk that they will face their wrath. But the Tea Party’s image overall has been fairly positive in the electorate as a whole… I would not get into a game of being against the Tea Party.”
