Democratic Mass Extinction Event: Hinchey, McCarthy, Maffei In Trouble
— Ace

Is no one safe?

No not a soul. And also, not a Democrat, either.

CAC's doomsday scenario seems to be coming together.

Republican internal poll shows challenger for NY-4, Fran Becker, on the verge of taking out McCarthy.

Something about internal polls: I always figured they were bunk but Charlie Cook recently said he'd take many internal polls over media polls any day of the week. It depends on who's doing the poll, he said. Many media polls are awful and shoddy (I think he said 50% were "mediocre" and nearly as many simply bad), and internal polls, on the other hand, were by and large more serious.

Becker! By the way, he's a guy. One of those guy-Frans. So don't be alarmed when you see a dude.

An exclusive at Hot Air, meanwhile: former mayor Koch to endorse Maurice Hinchey's opponent, George Phillips, in the Binghamton area.

Phillips!

And Ann Marie Buerkle can win in NY-25 against Dan Maffei, who won in a GOP area in the 2008 Obama wave. But that wave is gone now and replaced by something... beautiful. And something... terrible.

Buerkle!

Mass extinction? Hardly. Fucking roaches are just getting moved out and will not actually become extinct. They will change into a fresh coat of lies and bullshit and begin the search for cracks leading back into power. And yes, the American People are stupid enough to let them. If it happened once, it will happen again. Extinction? I wish.

Why the democrats are corruptocrats:

McCarthy(D) got thousands of dollars in campaign checks from a lobbyist and his son who've since been charged with funneling illegal cash to politicians. At the same time the money was pouring in, McCarthy (D) sponsored millions of taxpayer dollars in congressional 'earmarks' for some of the lobbyist's clients, records show.

"Since 2007, the Long Island Democrat has steered $4.3 million to two clients of the now-defunct PMA Group, a lobbying firm that employed the recently indicted Paul Magliocchetti and his son, Mark. The Magliocchettis were charged Aug. 4 for what federal prosecutors in Alexandria, Va., say were illegal campaign contributions made from at least 2003 through 2008."

oh my.

32 All Presidents parties lose seats in the midterms, and here you guys sit in a circle jerk about it. So what, he got healthcare, it won't be repealed. They planned for losing seats, its natural and they got what they wanted. You guys can crow about winning some seats in an off year election that won't matter anyway since Obama already passed 90% of what he wanted.

33 Did someone say teabagger?

Posted by: Barney Frank at October 12, 2010 09:00 AM (mka2b)

34 No.....because the campaigns spend real money on polls. They have to. And, more often, their polls are significantly more detailed because the campaigns need to know what issues are and are not working.


That is all very true, but you can't always assume that campaigns are being truthful when releasing internal poll numbers.  Just saying.

35 Rush insisting that Coons is in trouble or Obama wouldn't be going there. He said it yesterday and then his opinion, he says, was reinforced by the reasons the WH gave for Obama heading to Delaware. Says he doesn't buy the double digit lead in the polls. Thinks it's crap. Sounds dubious at best to me but Rush does have a record of being right, oddly right when things appear to be just the opposite. I remain skeptical yet hopeful.

Worst polls, by the way, are newspaper polls. Newspapers spend no money on polling. They figure they need a poll, but really want it done on the cheap. So, they usually have a polling sample of around 350 or so, just enough not to appear to be worthless, but not enough to really matter.

Posted by: Mallamutt at October 12, 2010 12:56 PM (OWjjx)

Worst newspaper poll evah had Jeb Bush tied with some Demo in when Jeb first ran for Gov of Florida.  I think it was the notorious Tampax Tribute, but every paper in the state ran it on the front page the day before the elections

'Tied' ----Bush won by 15 points.  No one never should read newspaper polls

The wonderful thing is that the Republicans will win enough to pass common-sense policies through Congress -- and the American electorate will watch for two years as Obama vetoes bill after bill to prevent those common-sense policies from being enacted into law.  Anyone who now only suspects Obama of being an America-hating socialist will be treated to objective proof that he is, in fact, an America-hating socialist.

Anyone who now only suspects Obama of being an America-hating socialist will be treated to objective proof that he is, in fact, an America-hating socialist.

But that will be part of his charm.  Won't it?

96 I'm thinking that the Democratic Party landscape after the election will resemble (figuratively) Cormac McCarthy's "The Road," complete with Democrats cannibalizing each other just to survive.

Hell, it's started already.

107 Remember the races w/o asterisks are ones I fully expect to pick up -- already in the bag, so to speak.  After that, asterisks are in rough order of difficulty (and give a general sense of which levels the 'wave' will have to come in at to make each successive tier of incumbents go down).  As I have noted, realistically speaking Barney Frank and John Dingell are huge reaches for us.

116 All Presidents parties lose seats in the midterms, and here you guys sit in a circle jerk about it. So what, he got healthcare, it won't be repealed. They planned for losing seats, its natural and they got what they wanted. You guys can crow about winning some seats in an off year election that won't matter anyway since Obama already passed 90% of what he wanted.

Posted by: Pete at October 12, 2010 01:00 PM (vDXWg)

Yeah.  Obama's playing infinite dimensional chess while we're all playing fifty-two pick up.  He wants to lose both house of congress because, because . . . Well, if I have to explain it, you can't understand it.


Seriously, I don't think that suicide is off the table for Obama.  I'm not predicting that, I just think that it is possible.  You have a guy with an absolutely gargantuan opinion of himself with absolutely nothing to back it up.  He is getting ready to be slammed with the Mother of All Gobsmackings.  He is so needy of adoration that twice since Friday he has spoken to predominantly black audience even though that is the one group that still supports him.  (He could kill and eat a baby on national television and the blacks would still support him, particularly if it were a cracker baby.)  Now he is casting his audience for his big MTV town hall meeting.  This is a guy who needs to be worshiped and instead who is going to get a heaping helping of public humiliation.  It won't be pretty.

117 Another one that might be in play is OH-9.  Marcy Kaptur is running an ad calling her opponent a Nazi.  Because he is a military reenactor who has put on a German Army uniform in one of the reenactments.

So pulling the Holocaust Card Kaptur has forced the NRCC to repudiate Iott.

When I was doing Revolutionary War reenactments I had both Colonial and British uniforms...somebody had to be the other side.  Does that make me a Royalist?

Pat, who is filling in for Beck today was talking about this.  He/a caller said that Iott gave a newspaper several pictures of him in many various uniforms.  The only one they ran was the Nazi uniform picture.  Yeah, surprise.
