Part of the problem with the Republicans however, is that they ALWAYS play to win. I'm in the middle of writing an opinion piece right now about how the biggest fault of the Republican party since '94 has been their inability to shift from being an opposition party to a governing party. Thus, they can craft great opposition ads and beat down the Democrats when they misstep, but they haven't delivered long term on their platform. Furthermore, things like the Foley scandal show that they value someone's willingness to side with the party and drink the GOP Kool-Aid over their actual values.
None of which is to say that the Democrats are doing anything right (indeed, they continue to be unable to function as an opposition party), but they're likely to win back the House on the basis of not being Republicans.
