2 It's gonna be higher - much, much higher......

3 Re: TX-17 Buh-bye.

4 The Dem's are toast. The only question now is.....the setting on the toaster.

5 Election Day can't get here fast enough.  The libs finally got their wish of "ZOMG!!1!!!! TEA PARTY VIOLENCE!!!1!1!" with that overblown non-head stomp video.  I don't want them to have any more time to whip up false controversies or rig voting machines.  Let's just vote and be done with this thing.

6 OT...A show I really enjoy "Sons Of Anarchy" just had something curious happen. One of the lesser characters, a porn star is going to have an abortion and hide this fact from her biker boyfriend who would not approve. She is sitting in the waiting room and then the nurse calls the name "uh Sarah Palin." The porn star says "I guess thats me" and goes in. Now this is quite interesting to me. The character used a fake name (since she wants to keep it a secret from her boyfriend) and picked "Sarah Palin." Now I could say this is a shot at Sarah for being put in the same arena as a porn star among other things, but maybe it was just them using a name that would be kinda funny in the situation. Regardless, it shows just how much she has penetrated the American culture. Her name pops up on shows all the time (even fiction ones) when she has nothing at all to do with anything. They just cannot help bringing her name up. Pretty interesting.

7 This is now the "conservative estimate". I expect the polls to "wise up cause 'it's business' (i.e. 'our credibility')" this week.

Yep. These guys must be pissing their pants, out of fear and excitement. I think even in an unprecedented and unpredictable year they can't be more then 20% off or they will look bad. At 50 seats that means it can go as high as 60 and they look okay. But the numbers are saying much higher. If they keep pushing it they run the risk of looking stupid if the Dems turn out in force and hold the loses to a minimum. Tough job this year. I wouldn't want it.

8 I'm anxious to see how the wave breaks here in New England.

9

I'm going to go all in and say 95 or higher.

And 13 in the Senate - I think there's one or two sleepers in the mix that no one's expecting.

Hope SanFranNan enjoys her last days of livin' it up on that posh jumbo jet......

10 At least a sizable conservative majority in the house can stop Obama's most radical plans. Supreme court nominee is still a problem even if we have 50 or 51 senators though, but one problem at a time. Win now, then win in 2012.

11

For some time I've felt that there was a very good chance of a huge, unprecedented blowout this time.  A la 1894, or more. 

Most or all of the hard data since the national degradation of '08 has been pretty striking.  VA/NJ statewides, MA US Senate special, MO health insurance referendum, CA tax referendum.  All blowouts (in context) against the Dems - historic numbers in VA, pretty unusual (high 60s) in CA.

Meanwhile the soft data - polls, Dem behavior - have shown no change.  Generic preference and issue surveys have shown unprecedented anti-Dem numbers, growing almost every month.  The numbers for the buffoon in the WH have dived consistently. 

On top of this, an amazingly good crop of candidates, many of them true citizen-politicians with great personalities and solid backgrounds (incl. many sterling military veterans), has emerged to challenge the often pathetic, ossified satraps in inertially Democratic, unchallenged seats.

A perfect storm - actually, a perfect confluence of various storms - may be playing out in the Dems' Tuesday tennozan.

I tossed off 87/11 to a fellow former Beltway friend last week, more of a joke, but I'd say it's quite feasible.  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if O'Donnell wins, along with almost all of the GOP challengers in "toss up" districts. With some "shockers" tossed in to the mix - to include the safest of the "safe" Dem leaders winning with 51% or some other unheard-of slim margin.

 

 

12  I'm thinking the count will be very surprising to the whole world, and I think that because the Dems are cheating almost openly, so they know what is coming. We just need to show up and VOTE, this is no time to be listening for foot steps, just let them smell our heels!

13 I remember in the primary the most generous poll and it might have been an internal one showed O'Donnell 5-7 pts behind castle and then she won by around 4 I think. So that was a 10 pt over performance. Now the general is different than the primary I grant you, but enthusiasm and turnout can make up 10 pts. Might not be likely, but certainly possible.

14 and I think that because the Dems are cheating almost openly, so they know what is coming.

The fraud is the part that worries me.

15 I think they may all lose all house seats in VA.

16 Steady, lads -- we've not heard from Greg yet.  He'll put these numbers in the proper perspective for us.

17 Moron meetup at telelvision, Wifi-location in NYC, please.

Uh, 50 seats has been kinda likely for weeks, so why is this breaking news?

18

50 seems low, my gut tells me high 60s, then again my gut told me the Vikings and Cowboys would win this past weekend.

We shall see.

19 Truth or Psy-Ops:  O'Donnell closing fast in DE--make it so!

20 Meanwhile out here in the land of the boned...Kahleeforneeeha...birthplace of Jonestown....we'll drink the Brown Kool-Aid.

21 Vis a vis O'Donnell, I'd be betting on the small state theory.  That is that polling is tough because a lot of residents go back and forth from the state and it's hard to isolate who is there, especially in the north.  Also, statistical noise and the enthusiasm factor.

Still, that's not one I'd bet on.

22 Oh, and it warms my heart that so called moderate, used car salesman Edwards is going down in flames.

23  The higher the turnout the less likely they can cheat in the numbers required. If we turn out we win, stay home and they steal, it's that simple.

24 I guess part of "wave" theory is that people on the fence not only decide to vote (at all) when they hear that others will be, but that it's now "safe" not to vote for the Democrats.  Oy vey, but I'll take it.

And no, I am not putting lots of chips on O'Donnell.  But a few...

25

I'm betting that the Pubbies win by convincing majorities from the get-go all across the nation.  A LOT of races are going to be called VERY early on Tuesday night, because the Dems won't be able to manufacture enough votes to get the win. 

Given the enthusiasm gap numbers, any Dem incumbent in a district at or below D+10  is probably going to be in for the fight of their political life.  And the poll numbers are going to have to show the real story before next week, or the pollsters won't be getting any business next time around.

Of course, none of them have ever seen anything like this before, so I think even they are going to be stunned.  It's possible that their models are showing the REAL numbers, but they are so radically different from what pollsters are used to, they can't bring themselves to put those numbers out there.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall wherever Bamster is on Election night......

26 I just want to see Keefums cry on air.  I don't ask much of life.

27 Power was out all day so I wandered around the neighborhood. I'd say 1 out of 10 houses had GOP candidate signs outside. Not one for any Dem. Considering this is a lefty burb of Chicago not too bad. I even spotted a few signs in yards that had Obama signs a few years ago. All signs point to wave. Of course thousands of Chicago early votes have already been disenfranchised, the military voters have been fucked over, and massive fraud will take place. But that's an armed rebellion for another day...

28 But I will call one upset special. Illinois 2. Jesse Jackson Jr. gets surprised by the Rev. Issac Hayes.

Any inside information you can share because that would be a stunner.

29 Truth or Psy-Ops:  O'Donnell closing fast in DE--make it so!

Wishful thinking.  I do think there's a cold-feet factor with Coons.  He's not likable and the more you get to know him, the more you hate him.  Maybe that "I'm you" commercial was better in the long-term than we thought.  She's the comfortable choice.

Rossi is closer to the finish line.

30 I guess part of "wave" theory is that people on the fence not only decide to vote (at all) when they hear that others will be, but that it's now "safe" not to vote for the Democrats.  Oy vey, but I'll take it.

Well, don't feel too bad. We have reids seiu in control of our voting machines, and  teachers giving out food and gift cards to vote for him, and he did beat ensign by 500 votes when they ran against each other. I will be glad when this shit is over! Just my opinion, every nevadan I have talked to either early voted for Angle or plans to on election day, so thats a good thing!

Palin has been the most visible critic of Obama for the last two years. Since Obama is now disliked by much of the country, it has made her stock rise.

Now, if the State Media, with the help of the McCain campaign, hadn't done such a good job sliming her in 08, we'd be talking about her as a shoe-in for 2012 right now.

37 I'm betting that at least 2 of the 100 safest of safe dem seats will flip in a shocker.

Posted by: AmishDude at October 27, 2010 12:11 AM (3wPsb)

Looking at MA, the Dems have a number of safe seats in districts that voted for Scott Brown over Martha Coakley that haven't really been well polled.

38 The new VA Governor carried Fairfax.

39 The storm is brewing in the Midwest(literally, as well...Al Gore must be speaking there) and it will leave a path of 'D'struction in it's wake. But the biggest shock will be 35 Governors Mansions, an ideal breeding ground for freedom loving leaders. You could warn them...if only you spoke Hovitos.

40 I think they are calling for about a foot of snow in the Dakotas.

41

Dunno if the comments re DE are in reaction to my off-hand remark, but I was just musing that an O'Donnell win would not surprise me - and would track with other "surprises" -  I have no view on her actual chances, based on DE facts or surveys.

AmishDude, I'd up your comment ante about 2 of the 100 "safe" Dem seats being in jeopardy to a half-dozen. If this is as big as it's looking, that would be quite unsuprising.

Again I point to the hard data of actual elections and referenda in the last 18 months - the results in those have been extraordinary to unheard of.  I don't follow these things closely enough to know whether the best pre-election polls in these cases were all out-performed by events, but my impression is they were, in some cases dramatically.  And pollsters are limited by their need to guess on turnout models - precisely the factor most in question this year.  So results way outside the poll predictions should not surprise anyone. 

 

42 Permission to watch MSNBC on 11/2?

43 The Nevada vote buying with food and tickets is clearly illegal. Nevada law (NRS 293.700) provides that, "A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or us any other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130."

55

Too late to update predictions for our contest here-

but I have 62 as of today in the House. Tran looks to beat the Flamenco dancer Sanchez in CA

56 In other news, pudding stocks are trending up.

57

I get wood everytime I read election coverage. As it gets closer they have to be more and more honest. I called 70 seats, but I'm almost wishing I had kept with my prediction of 100 seats after the Cap and Tax vote.

 

Hell I work nights and am contemplating calling in sick to watch MSNBC

58 @54 Lou, yeah, linky broken. But it is up at the top at Breitbart.com. That was positively vile. I need a shower after watching that Philly news hack.

59 That was positively vile. I need a shower after watching that Philly news hack. Angry fucker, ain't he? O'Keefe handled himself well.

60 Anything under 115 seats in this environment will be a devastating loss to the cons.  The wave is over.

61 Anything under 115 seats in this environment will be a devastating loss to the cons. So true. And yet, we won't have the good manners to roll over and die.

62 The SEIU is not just servicing your voting machines. I got a flu shot 2 weeks ago and the technician was wearing her button. I didn't see it until it was too late. Completely creeps me out.

63 Dems could lose 3-4 seats in Virginia alone. The 2nd and 5th districts will flip. The 11th is rated a tossup, and the 9th looks like it is moving to "lean R".
http://tinyurl.com/2ajufj6

If the D's lose that many just in Virginia, I think the D's will lose close to a 100.

64 Unfortunately, I think here is Maryland is the remaining high ground for the Democrats.  Want to survive the Republican flood of 2010?  Run in Maryland.

Erhlich has run out of money to run spots; O'Malley has turned him into the incumbent. Even Andy Harris is getting pummeled by neg ads in the last weeks. That single seat pickup is all I can dare to hope for anymore.

65 That was some interview. More like a hostile cross examination. I love the concentration on who's funding it. What difference does it make? the devil himself could be funding it. No one made those teacher's say those things and there is no "context" in which they are appropriate.

66 The SEIU is not just servicing your voting machines. I got a flu shot 2 weeks ago and the technician was wearing her button.

Fire your doctorr.  Tell him why.  But get his wife's curried rice recipe first.

67 Also, since the Primary I have seen a SINGLE ad for the Republican Senator challenging Mikulski, Eric Wargotz.  What gives?  Did he blow all his funds on the "insidersourus" ads to win the Primary only to get no new monies from donors?  I guess being out polled 54-38 will make it hard to fund raise.

btw Survey USA seriously oversampled young voters and minorities for the california poll ...and still only showed Boxer up 5- at 45%.

So weve had 1 crappy poll, 3 outright frauds with their voter breakdowns- LA/USC, Suffolk, and PPP.

MAGICALLY Boxer jumps from 1.5 to 6 pts for a lead, but its a ruse.

Damn I will be laughing my ass off if indeed these numbers are way off as they look.

Looking back in hindsight, after the Delaware, uhhh, situation, the GOP might have been wise to take a crack at boosting Huffman over Wyden in Oregon... who knows, maybe it would have had spill over effects in WA and CA.

The thing that bugs me about possibly not taking the Senate is that it probably rules out the possibility of forcing Obama to veto repeal & replace of Obamacare.  Hanging that decision on his neck in 2012 would have been very helpful.

80 I just got the news that mystry passed on.  What can I say?  I'm a moron.

I had the pleasure of meeting him only once, about a month or 6 weeks ago at the SW OH moron meet-up.  He was obviously very ill, but just as obviously was staring it in the face and taking it as what it was.  A true gentleman in every sense of the word.  That he got his absentee ballot in before the end is like sweet, sweet victory the taste of Dem tears.  Not surprising at all.

Godspeed, Ron.  May his memory be eternal!

81

I am still trying to figure out all the screw-ups with health care bull shit.  My health care was fine before they started to destroy it.  You have to realize how important it is, even i you are as healthy as an ox.

I was very healthy and in shape.  That all changed one morning when I was T-boned by a 20 year old with a long police record.  I have been dealing with recovering from it for 3 years.  The last thing I needed was Obumbercare.  We had an accident two weeks ago at the same spot with 3 teens in bad shape and one that did not make it.  (no seat belt)  I wonder how their health care is screwed up now?

82

Do these frickin suck puppets really think we are gonna buy their bullshit stuff?

Get me grid coordinates and I will call in the AC-130's to hose them.  And not with a water hose.

83 I can take UGG boots of your corpse, d-ck head.

84

The fraud is the part that worries me.

This.

I'm the complete opposite of a conspiracy theorist- I've gone rounds with more than a few folks around here.  I still think fraud will be at an all time high this election- who's going to prosecute?  Holder?  Dem Secretaries of State who got elected on Soro's dime?  Why wouldn't the union / leftist types cheat? 

I'm predicting 49.5 R / 50.5 D in the Senate.  If the .5 sounds like I'm hedging my bets, it's because it is- I'm torn between 49/51 and 50/50.

85

The HillÂ’s data confirm other public polling and expert predictions, some of which put the historic wave even higher than the 52 seats Democrats lost in 1994 and the 71 they lost in 1938.

Pollster Stuart Rothenberg wrote Tuesday that Democrats face the potential of “a political bloodbath the size of which we haven’t seen since the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”


Yesssssss.... my Preciousssssss.....

86 Boxer is going with the "Fiorina will cut your social security" angle. Desperation.

87 Well, I worked a phone bank this evening.  Going to do it again over the weekend.

88 I am going to predict 42 now. Only because of the vast amount (at least 12 states worth) of voter fraud that has been caught.

I'm also thinking we'll gain 8-9 seats in the Senate now. CT is no longer GOP territory, alas.

89 Posted by: Serious Cat at October 27, 2010 02:17 AM (bAySe) No matter what, we should put a repeal vote out there. Something like 2/3 of the country supports it, which means that after a blowout election, we might even attract a certain number of Dems to vote in favor to cover their asses in 2012. Even if Toonces vetoes it, they can start to distance themselves from him. This all depends on the Republican majority not going woobly. If they do, it will be the end of that party.

Even if Toonces vetoes it, they can start to distance themselves from him.

This is the reason that I think it would be better for the Republicans to have 48-49 seats in the Senate.  They can push through a lot of reform, and pull off worried Dems looking to polish their "independent" creds before the 2012 elections.  With 51 senators, we are probably looking at a unified Democratic front, with the narrative for the election being that "the evil Republicans prevented us from doing all this good that we wanted to do!"

91 Don't

92 Posted by: Alex at October 27, 2010 04:41 AM (aAsSp) Point taken. But everything hinges on the Republicans doing what we want AND getting out the message of what and why they are doing what they're doing. Obviously the MFM propaganda arm will do what the can to quell that, but Americans I think no longer trust them. Lawmakers must be forced time and again to go on the record, for or against repeal, to be used in 2012 when they are up for reelection. Beyond that, we must call every czar and administration official before investigative committees early and often as well as de-fund as many of these agencies as possible to slow and tie up the leviathan. Then we can begin the process of reversal. It will take time but most of all dogged perseverance. That is the "X" factor that scares me most with the Repubs. By the way, I heard on Levin (I know, I know) that only 1/3 or so is up for election. If the entire Senate were in play, the Republicans would stand to win a filibuster-proof and even a veto-proof majority. This election is not the end of the struggle. We are at the very beginning of a long process and hopefully we will all take the coming victory and parlay it going forward for every election cycle. WE HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN TO FIGHT! VICTORY

93 Never knew the man. But read his sharing. His being was glaring. Mystry touched more than he knew.

94 Well, F&F's Gretchen just confirmed what we all pretty much strongly suspected. In a discussion about Joy Behar and her crap Getchen said she disagreed with EVERY policy put forth by Sharron Angle.

That pretty much tells you where she stands, she is an EXTREME libtard.

95 I think our chances in the Senate are MUCH better than anyone thinks they are due to the fact that so many people going to vote for the Republican Rep in their district will just vote a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET and thus vote for the Rep Senator as well even though they might have said they supported the incumbent Dem in a poll.

P.S., Have you seen how LONG these polls are with their 35 questions?  Who the hell has 30 minutes at dinner time to answer a damned poll?  Instead of just Republicans, Democrats and Independents, they need to add a category for "Complete Losers With Nothing Better To Do Than Answer A Poll At Dinnertime".

96 The best part about all this is that I expect the Economy to TAKE OFF after Republicans win back control.  Businesses are flush with cash but have held back on hiring because of the uncertainty brought on by Obama and the Dem Congress. 

With that uncertainty gone and 2 years of complete gridlock to look forward to, businesses will start to hire like mad.  You can already see this in the 1000 point runup of the stock market in anticipation.

P.S., And oh yeah, definitely looking forward to these leftists getting their butts investigated for the shenanigans they've been pulling.

Question: On a scale of 1 - 10, how PISSED is Obama right now?

97 Anyone in Harris County, True the Vote (truethevote.org) needs Spanish speaking poll watchers for the Ripley House early voting location. The election judge there is telling the people coming to vote that the have to vote Democrat at that location. We need bilingual poll watchers to counter this. Volunteer from the truethevote.org homepage.

98 The weather will be a HUGE factor as well.  Democrats who have been putting off voting until election day will look outside, see the rain and gloom and figure, what's the point, we are screwed anyway... and stay home.

The informed, motivated Dem electorate has already voted early.  The typical lazy Dem voter waits till election day.

God sent tornadoes to defeat the Bristish in 1814 (War of 1812) and he is sending rain in 2010.

99 What's going on in the Dakotas? I thought those two at-large seats were vulnerable, but the Hill is saying both Democrats are up?

100 Interesting comment over at HillBuzz about DE being so Dem a state based on registrations, but that large number of those Dems, who couldn't vote in primary, actually planning to vote for O'Donnell to send Obama and Co. message.

101 Okay, let's talk about the worst case. The apocalypse case:  the Dems really do steal this. They've rigged the electronic machines, printed up paper ballots, and lined up busloads of illegals. On November 3 the pundits in their media propaganda arm are talking cheerfully about how overrated the Tea Party movement was and how in the end the public chose to stick with the party of Hopenchange.

What do we do about it?

If voting fails, what's left?

Because all our talk about a shootin' revolution is due to turn into a case of put up or shut up on November 3.

102 I know everyone has been saying I'm delusional with my 107 seat prediction. It isn't just pie-in-the-sky hopey feel-goodism. In 1994, we won 52 seats. That was with a good economy, a somewhat moderate Dem as President who was still liked by most of the country. The only scandal was the check-writing plague in the House. However, this was the first election where the internet and the information it allows people to glean was in full force. Independents still leaned left. Fast forward to today. Obama and the cranks of the Dem party have not hidden their leftism at all. It has been on full display since the great emaculation. Independents have left the Dems. Even with their machine and cheating, Dems only make up about 35-40% of the electorate. They could all come out and it wouldn't matter. They have lost the independent vote. Couple that with a depression and the rammed-down health care albatross and you have the makings of total annihilation. That is what my gut says. November 3 will be a nice day, but it is only the start.

If I'm wrong, then America truly has become Euro and I'll start looking for acreage in Wyoming for my future compound.

103 Going in to phone bank tomorrow.  Going to be the wave.

104 Anybody know how Allen West is doing in his House race in FL?  I want that man in DC kicking RINO and socialist asses.

105 96 That pretty much tells you where she stands, she is an EXTREME libtard.   Who is she?  Gretchen or Behar?  Can't say I've ever heard Gretchen inject her views about much of anything.

I am still VERY concerned about the cheating. SEIU is servicing a lot of the voting machines. Now what could possibly go wrong with that... Hmmmm??

Up here in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota they've got all sorts of court cases against illegal votes by felons, etc. from the last election (anyone remember Diaper Boy and the magic 800 votes?). This time around there's a number of could-be close races. My district has Betty McCommie against a newcomer. I'm not sanguine about the number of magic votes that'll show up in the absentees, etc.

107 103:  Public, easily monitored fora are not the best place to speak of such things, to the point of being highly counterproductive.

In any event, I think most of us still retain some belief it won't come to that.  Or barring that, we have faith the issue may be resolved short of the worst.

And if that fails...well, this may be an interesting November.

108 Nate Silver seemed comforted by these polls showing only 50, which really bums me out.  Like Ace said, we need them to wake up Nov. 3rd and feel like they've been raped by a midget with a broomstick, not feeling like they dodged a bullet.

109 This shit isn't Predator. Payback time is for real. Get Some!

110 Who is she?  Gretchen or Behar?  Can't say I've ever heard Gretchen inject her views about much of anything.

Gretchen, she said she disagreed with every position Angle had. Not just most, but every position.

111 I'm going to be Eeyore.

There will be rampant voter fraud. Democrats will win enough seats to retain s healthy majority. People will be angry, very angry.

Let's pray I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

There is rampant fraud every election by Democrats and has been since 1830. Conditions are far less favorable for them this time - you can only trim so much, and with discouraged Dems you can do even less.

Like always, they will steal a few close ones. But most of the races won't be close at all, so no scope for the tricks.

No need for the tinfoil hat.

113 Rasmussen will show Raese collapsing in WV today and trailing Manchin.  So now we have CA, WV and WA out of reach.  Some wave...

I would love for the Demis to console themselves that historic losses aren't so bad. Not learning from failure is the best way to fail again next election.

115 "Question: On a scale of 1 - 10, how PISSED is Obama right now?"

Word has it he's all wee wee'd up.

116 Okay, Shibumi: if people are very, very, very angry -- what then? What do we do? What do you and I do?
