well there's a lot of people not on the list:

nobody in TN where there are a bunch of competitive D districts

nobody in FL

nobody on the west coast

nobody in the upper midwest except for WI-7

nobody in TX at all

only a paltry sum in AR where 3 out of 4 districts are D

wow the D's have really abandoned a ton of districts

10

I see they are trying to save Kanjorski's seat in PA, he is running against Lou Barletta who has run against him 2 times in a row and lost, but looks to win this time.

You guys may recognize Barletta, he is the mayor of Hazelton PA, the town that instituted all of those anti illegal immigrant laws.

He is a hardass and would be a good pickup.

11 and I am absolutely thrilled to see the D's blowing cash in places like IL, NY and MD (!) - these are all blue states to begin with - the Donks are in panic mode

12 chemjeff- Texas Dems depend on metropolitan Imaginary-Americans and the Recently-Deceased vote.

13
Will NBC &/or Matt Lauer ask about Obama's destruction of the DC voucher program for poor kids?

Of course not.  That would mean actual honest reporting.
And NBC is a political arm of the Democrat party.

Is Matt Lauer an unprofessional stooge and a hack?  You betcha.


****Obama did this as political payback to the corrupt Teacher's Union, a wholly owned subsidiary of the corrupt democrat party, the same political party that HATES school choice and LOVES to waste tax payer money on more of the same bad education that the NEA delivers year after year.

Hell yes. They ought to send Ace a check for 10 g's, though I doubt it would have the same effect it had on a certain ponytailed toilet trout I know of.

17 Me and Daniel Webster. Remember who wins?

18 I just want to say that, as optimistic as I am about November, some of CAC's prediction are...erm...a mite optimistic.  But one that's not: I think Bielat wins in Massachusetts.  I've just collected a lot of interesting info from people working that district for Barney Frank.  As in, not rosy Bielat supporters, but depressed Frank supporters talking about how (direct quote here) "Jesus Christ, it's Scott Brown all over again."  Apparently Frank's internal polling has a closer margin than even Bielat's internals (which he released) do.  Still ahead, but low single digits.

And under 45%.

And you know what that means...

19 it's also interesting to see that NV-1 is not on the list - looks like the House D's have written off NV even though it could possibly help pull Reid over the finish line - heh yay us

20 It would be great for that lisping bastard Frank to get beat. What a reprehensible, nasty, lying degenerate old bastard he is.

21 Michael Barone's analysis of the election trends:

Taken together, all these maps show a Democratic Party shrinking back to its bicoastal base and a Republican Party expanding to take in most of the vast expanse of the continent.

22 TMZ

The former housekeeper for Meg Whitman -- the Republican candidate for Governor of California -- is about to make "controversial and explosive allegations about her former employer," TMZ has learned.

We're told the housekeeper has lawyered up with none other than Gloria Allred. The housekeeper and Allred will hold a news conference today in Gloria's office at 11 AM PT, "to tell how she suffered as a long-time, Latina household employee in Meg Whitman's home. 

23 The Boswell IA-3 ads are very Grayson-esque, in that they are using clips of Zaun saying "personal responsibility" and applying it to many topics, the most prevalent being flood relief (we had bad flooding this summer, in case you missed it). Plus they are going after him personally, with money issues.

I wonder what company is making these ads.

24

I predict that the big name House democrats who lose in Nov will not finish well in the lame duck session.  They will vent and vent and vent ...  it will be spectacle that will simply reinforce why they got kicked to the curb ...  anyone with the slightest hope of running in 2012 will destroy their chances if they pull out the typical liberal talking points ...

Informal voter enforced term limits will save this country ....

25 Fox just had a NY Dem Commie onj blasting Republicans for voting against the bill to give "relief to NY 9-11 firemen".

Some points for the average joe

I am amazed that we even have a bill for this. NY "firemen" are already covered for illness that is job-related. This is just another money funnel to NYC.

The reason Republicans vote against it is it has been larded up with a Dem wish list of crap that is considered a poison pill to Republicans and the Dems want to bring it to the floor under a provision that allows no amendments to remove those poison pills. i.e. they have invoked a procedure that allows a filibuster in the House and they got one.

So there you have it. The bill is nothing more than a "catchy title" that allows the Dems to make headlines and gee, the MFM is glad to oblige.

Can you say government shutdown-II? Will it work this time?

26

Meanwhile, the DCCC is beefing up its ad buy in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which could go to help Reps. Chris Carney (D-Pa.) and Kanjorski. It has already reserved more than $750,000 in the media market but has doubled that to $1.5 million, according to a GOP strategist.

They just started playing the Kanjorski ads heavy. He's in real trouble.

Carney's opponent shot himself in the foot so it looks like the Carney clown will keep his seat.

27 I just want to say that, as optimistic as I am about November, some of CAC's prediction are...erm...a mite optimistic. the best case scenario maps are just that- best case. My actual pegging of the races are being uploaded as well, so if you are going off my OJ glove maps, might want to hold back a judgement on my predictions. I do see us at R+8 in the senate based on hard data and the trends, with a very, very good shot at getting to 10. I see about 45-55 house seats flipping. However, one HAS to be bullish on the senate if they really believe the house flips. Historically, the house almost NEVER switches sides without the senate doing the same.

28 It really is not early. Hasn't voting already started in Ohio? Beware the quiet, steady driving of Dem votes to early voting polling places. Do not get complacent. Watch for head fakes.

29 Ohio morons:

How the hell did Kasich (man he sucks) lose a 16 point lead over Strickland in only 2 weeks?

Are R votes going to the Libertarian candidate?

Why are all the Dem ads not stating their party?  If you don't know the people, you would think that the Dem ads were actually Rep. candidates.  Talking about small business, right to bear arms, lower taxes, etc.

Is it like that everywhere or just in Ohio?

Shit really pisses me off.

30 OH-18 getting no love, either.  Zack Space is in trouble there.

31 How the hell did Kasich (man he sucks) lose a 16 point lead over Strickland in only 2 weeks?

I'm not surprised we're starting to see some tightening, but I seriously doubt it's as close as folks are saying.  Happened too quick.  Which polls are you looking at?

32 texette:

Yes, voting started yesterday in Ohio and they are already busing people in to vote early. (You can vote in person)

For the Pres. election more than 1/3 of all votes were early/absentee votes.  So how can they announce who won without counting that many votes?

I really, really don't understand it.  Can someone put me some knowledge? Please?

33 it will be spectacle that will simply reinforce why they got kicked to the curb ...  anyone with the slightest hope of running in 2012 will destroy their chances if they pull out the typical liberal talking points ...

Posted by: Jeff at September 29, 2010 09:29 AM (A3tpD)

I hope you're right, but the people seem to have pretty hard time making the connections, or even remembering what's gone wrong for more than a few months at a time.  And the Reps seldom seem to have a good grasp of how to exploit the lunacy of the Left.  But if somebody on our side can figure out how to play the game by the nexy cycle, we might be in good shape again. 

I'd love to see the Dems get a good crushing, by Reps who aren't all RINOs.  Then maybe something could actually get done for once.  Those narrow, so-called "majorities" we had in the recent past were not too useful for getting anything done, because of the various back stabbers in our midst.

34 "As of Tuesday, early voting was open in 26 states, including the battlegrounds of Ohio, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri and West Virginia"  link

35 I predict that big name House democrats that are threatened by upstart Republicans will panic and start hogging the DCCC money out of all proportion to the threat posed.

So if Steyn Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, or Barney Frank feels the heat, they will starve other campaigns to fund their own, citing such excuses as the psychological importance of retaining their seat or historical significance or some such claptrap. Really though, it is just eating their own in an every-man-for-himself panic.

So, for example every dollar sent to Charles Lollar will tie up many DCCC dollars that might be spent in less visible races, while still helping Charles win.

36 Which polls are you looking at?

The Quintiac poll put Kasich up by 16 two weeks ago.  FOX poll put Kasich up one (margin of error) yesterday.

Why don't the candidates have to say their party on ads?  Plus, the DNC is paying third parties to make the ads so the Dem label shows up no where in the ads anymore.  Only 2 commercials have the DNC wording on bottom.

37 Alan Grayson and Ron Klein ain't getting much love.  Bwaaahahaha.

38 The Quintiac poll put Kasich up by 16 two weeks ago.  FOX poll put Kasich up one (margin of error) yesterday.

Yeah.  I went looking after I typed my comment.

Only thing I can figure is that Strickland's ad campaign is working.  Truth is, all in all he hasn't really been horrible.  I'd take him over Taft, I'll say that.  I actually figured he'd get re-elected, and he probably wouldn't be in a fight at all if the Red Wave wasn't breaking over the seawall.

39 I thought the chamber was a dem thing, look at this boxer ad

40 Faux just brought the Commie-D on and no, the public will never hear the truth.

41

Interesting they gave to VA weasel Gerry Connolly, too. That district is all federal gubernet union jackasses and half overrun by immigrants. It's either for folks who have a PHD in International Services or for those who can't speakee English. It's Jackass Heaven.

42 Okay Dave, I give up. Who is missing? I mean besides Pelosi and about 420 other names. Was there one in particular you are wanting us morons to notice?

43

There always will be tightening to some degree as election day gets closer, and at least some of it is legitmate.

I've thought for a while that some pollsters change their models to tighten races "unexpectedly" as voting begins for at least two reasons:  1) Energize the base into voting when they see "momentum"; and, 2) Account for some of the voting fraud ahead of time, so that fraudulent results seem in the realm of possibility.

 

What is so ironic about the second point is that party internal polling is very accurate, but the Republicans never contest hugely fraudulent results.  It was a battle I fought for a long, long time.

44 Posted by: momma at September 29, 2010 09:37 AM (penCf)

If you think about it, that's what BO did, he made it look as though he and Mcshame were on the same page and Mcshame refused to fight back.

45 Check this out:

Owner of Scott Miracle Gro has ad out for Ted Strickland (Gov. Ohio):

link
The ad: "Listen," a 30-second TV commercial

Producer: Strickland for Governor

Where to see it: Most of Ohio's major media markets, including Columbus

Video: The ad opens with a shot of the Scotts Miracle-Gro sign at the entry to its Marysville plant and then features the company's chief executive, Jim Hagedorn, speaking in his office. The video alternates footage of Gov. Ted Strickland talking with workers in the plant and with Hagedorn speaking in his office. At one point, Strickland, with shirt sleeves rolled up, is talking with three workers, his arm around one of the worker's shoulders. The ad apparently was shot on two occasions, because Strickland starts out in the plant wearing a white shirt and ends up in a blue shirt.

Script: (Hagedorn): "We're an Ohio company and we've been here since 1868. Ted Strickland understands the issues that business people deal with. He's made it easier for us to hire people in Ohio. What the governor was able to do was help us keep our jobs and add our jobs here in this state.

"Why would Jim Hagedorn a Republican support a Democrat? Because he's shown a commitment to our business, he's shown a commitment to growing businesses in the state of Ohio. Ted's found a way to get the job done."

HERE's The kicker:

Hagedorn is a registered voter in New York, not Ohio.

All democrats have to move to the "right" to get elected.  All democrats have to lie about who they really are.  All democrats move back to the left once the voters have been fooled.

47 #40 The chamber plays both sides. But a lot of people are just tired of her, not just on the right. My father in law is a party-loyal Dem and even he has told me "she has been there too long and hasn't done a damn thing" I remain bullish on Fiorina- she dropped in polling due to the Boxer ad onslaught, but now she is firing back. If the SF Chronicle pens an editorial explaining WHY they cannot support her, as opposed to an endorsement article, I question how much support she actually has.

48 It drives me crazy that all candidates make themselves out to be Conservative when they run, but then all of them run to the Left (except a few) after they are elected.

They things I don't like about Strickland is his love affair with Obama, his support of Obamacare, and his love of higher fees/taxes/fines.

The things I hate about Kasich is his lack of support for Iraq/Afghanistan, his inability to defend The People, and his lack of balls

Hell, I have a bigger set of balls and I'm I chick..

49 Thanks for the link, momma. I'll never buy another product from Scott's Lawn Care again. What a weasel, this guy Hagedorn.

50 They are only buy ads where they know they can't fuck with the vote tally.

51 Faux News now showing a clip on the CT court ruling that 'cheer-leading" is not a sport.

Again, thew reason for the ruling is not explored and it has NOTHING to do with whether or not "cheer-leading" is a sport. It has to do with BS federal rules under the unconstitutional equality in sports funding in schools law.
 
Again the public is shortchanged.

52 Part of Fiorina's problem is that in other times she would be a bold RINO.  She is however what Rs have chosen although she just doesn't bring the inspiration that the more ardent new red wave is bringing.  In any case, conservatives in that district, please support her.  Knocking off a known name like Boxer is inspiring itself.

53

Oh, a Democrap running against Pete Olson (TX-22) is calling for impeachment of Obarry. They were handing out flyers and one had a picture of Ø with a Hitler mustache. But its OK because Kesha is a black Democrat. Theres a video of the sign at kesharogers.com.

PS she's easy on the eyes IYKWIMAITYD.

54 Should not read Tom Friedman in the morning if I want to keep my blood pressure down.  Here's a sample of his recent idiocy.

The Tea Kettle (Friedman's pet name for the Tea Party, clever, ain't it?) movement can’t have a positive impact on the country because it has both misdiagnosed America’s main problem and hasn’t even offered a credible solution for the problem it has identified. How can you take a movement seriously that says it wants to cut government spending by billions of dollars but won’t identify the specific defense programs, Social Security, Medicare or other services it’s ready to cut — let alone explain how this will make us more competitive and grow the economy?

If Friedman was paying attention, there has been all sorts of Tea-Party generated ideas on where to cut gov't spending.  As for explaining how limited government spending grows the economy, that should be self-evident.

And how can you take seriously a movement that sat largely silent while the Bush administration launched two wars and a new entitlement, Medicare prescription drugs — while cutting taxes — but is now, suddenly, mad as hell about the deficit and won’t take it anymore from President Obama? Say what? Where were you folks for eight years?

There was plenty of bitching about the deficitof the Bush years, again something Friedman would know if he wasn't so busying fapping it to a flow-chart of the Chinese system.  And people are definitely paying attention when the deficient goes from 400 billion a year to 1.6 trillion a year!

56 I can't spell or check prose this morning, .  Need some coffee before scanning my gels.

One thing we can universally agree on is that Friedman is an ass of the largest order.  If he holds the Chinese model so dear to his heart and believes it is the wave of the future, why doesn't he move there?

57

Not really, I was looking to have you morons check it out and compare to your local races, for example, I ain't seein a dollar thrown in Texas in this first round.

Chet Edwards got carved out of my district a couple years ago (John Carter is my rep now), he's fightin for his life and in serious trouble from Jim Flores.

58 No money in CO, apparently the candidates have plenty of their own as I'm seeing lots of attack ads on the Republican challengers. Even one on Frazier that probably helps his name recognition more than it hurts him. CO-7 is no longer safe D, I'm loving it.

59 Is Colorado on that list?

60 #54 I am fucking sick of seeing the word RINO. Shes not a fucking rino. at worst a moderate republican- which is a big fucking difference. Shes a RINO because she...supports Prop 23 which would suspend the global warming law ? Opposed the stimulus? Opposes Obama care ? Is Pro-life? She was for TARP. So was Ryan. If you are going to toss labels around, you need a criteria. not "shes not as conservative as me" thats fucking stupid. Castle, Murkowski, Crist are RINOS Fiorina, Portman, and Johnson arent.

Kratos, as Ace said earlier.

It's funny how the left, like Tom MaoZe Friedman think the only way to cut spending is by cutting the third rail spending entirely. Social Security and Medicare can be reformed, they don't have to be completely abandoned.

Also, these are the same people who accepted "Hope and Change" as a credible answer to all the ills facing america in 2008.

Now slogans and broad based ideas are unacceptable.

Like beauty pageants, cheerleading, accounts for many academic scholarships given to women.  If they made it not a sport now then it won't be covered under the law that says you need to have equal male/female teams with equal funding.  Hence many schools will drop cheerleading and the girls will be short changed.  It's anti woman.

66 dogfish, not lashing out particularly at you, but that fucking phrase is overused as shit. Any fucktard that equates Fiorina or McMahon with Jeffords, Castle, Murkowski, or Hagel needs to meet a Fargoian end.

91 I agree with CAC, the RINO gets tossed around a little too easily here. Fiorinna is not a RINO.

I wondered how she was being classified as a RINO with no record.

Personally I use ACU ratings as a general criteria and modify that with standing on a few key issues like adherence to the Constitution, gun control, health care bill, amnesty, and crap and tax.

An ACU rating of < 80 in the past 6 years gets you RINO, however just above 80 and support for commies on those issues above also gets you RINO.

Less than 50 gets you DIABLO status.

102 If the Muzzie world would "out" just one of their own mosque-based extremists, then perhaps there could be a basis for not laughing at their posturing. 

103 Daniel Webster wants to chain your underage children to spinning looms and coal mine carts, so that the immoral profits from his enterprises can fund his extensive collection of spats, top hats, and diamond stick pins.

104 I don't see much money in CA, either, but California had 54 of 55 House seats get held by the incumbent last cycle, and the one exception was retiring, and his son won the seat handily. Not one seat changed party hands, despite the squeaker upstate

Worse than Taxachusetts...

However, there is the Loretta "My (Vietnamese immigrant) opponent is anti-immigration!" Sanchez screwup, but that is a Dem stronghold (D+17, IIRC), and her sister holds the next Congressional District over.

105 Vic, you have any feel for this one?

The last poll was ran in May. I haven't seen any ads from Mulvaney here but I don't watch much TV so I may be missing them.

Since the Republicans are targeting Spratt this year I gather that they have some internal polls that say he is in bad shape. 

I will do what I normally do since asshole Graham is not up for election this year. I will pull the lever for straight Republican ticket.

106 # 95 I wondered how she was being classified as a RINO with no record.

Vic, she isn't a private figure suddenly stepping into the spotlight and giving her first press release, but I get y'alls point that she hasn't voted on anything.  I've been sufficiently chastised.  BTW, my original point was that she would be more moderate and less conservative in any other given time and would be an 'R' word.

107 Only thing I can figure is that Strickland's ad campaign is working.  Truth is, all in all he hasn't really been horrible.  I'd take him over Taft, I'll say that.  I actually figured he'd get re-elected, and he probably wouldn't be in a fight at all if the Red Wave wasn't breaking over the seawall.

Fuck that shit, he's been an absolute disaster for the state as far as the economy.  His ad campaign has been a major clusterfuck, spending all his time trying to tie Kasich to Wall Street and then coming on to say that he's in favor of Ohioans.  Oh really?  Then he had some ad about some green company in the Cleveland area that I haven't even heard of; lying out his ass about how many jobs that fucking scam shop will produce.

You're right that Taft was a fucking goof; hell, we haven't had a decent governor since Rhodes.  Strickland's like a Celeste that can keep his wang in his pants and doesn't have a lesbian wife,

108 #103 Here's the only thing that matters to me:

 Boxer: fucking awful.

Fiorina: better than fucking awful. don't know how much, don't care.

If those were my choices I know what I'd do.

Completely agree.  Didn't mean to cause a ruckus this morning.

109 I get that Kesha is a LaRouche nutter, I'm just wondering why the media hasn't condemned the Hitler mustached OBarry posters like they did to Tea Partiers.

110 Everyone is on the same page with Fiorina kicking Boxer's ass to the curb. It warms my heart. MORE HEARTWARMING- KIRK'S R VOTERS COMING HOME KIRK 40% ALI G 36% PPP ILLINOIS. This is the 7th straight poll showing Kirk with a lead- amongst the voter bloc that hates both candidates they still pick Kirk 2-1. Indies break by nearly 20 for Kirk.

111 DCCC:  Not a penny in Massachusetts.  Boy, will they be in for a shock.

112 Fiorinna is not a RINO.

LOL, Kommie Karl Kameron just called Fiorinna a "hard conservative Tea Party candidate".

This guy is a real piece of work.

Just wanted to comment on the tightening of Ohio Polls.  I'm not sure I by it.  For one, Rass came out today at +8 R, which is up 1 from earlier this month.  Second, the polls showing Kasich only up + 1 are first time polls, and while I haven't been able to find Party ID breakdowns for the Foxnews, Reuters, or UoC polls, I did find one for the CBS poll.

The CBS poll has a party breakdown of 33D/28R/39I.  Which is absurd.  Ohio's PartyID breakdown in 08 exit polls was 39D/31R/30I, 40D/37R/23I in 06, and 35D/40R/25I in 04.  So in esscense, CBS/NYT is predicting that republican turnout will be the worst it has been since 04 compared to D and I's, despite republican's being the most enthusiastic to vote.  They game it by bumping up the Indy vote % to a unprecedented level, and despite the fact that Kasich is up 30pts with indys, it's not the 90% support he gets from R's.   I'm willing to bet the other polls with this type of results are similar wishcasting / oversampling.

Thanks for the explanation.  I was really confused.

115 Dunno, I'd call Fiorina a RINO.  Just a hunch but I suspect she isn't all that attached to the R label.  RINO in the sense that had she lost her primary I just can't imagine her out stumping hard for the winner but I can imagine her taking a second bite of the apple and running anyway.  Heck, as a self funder it isn't like she needs the party machinery for much.

Which is a problem we really need to address.  If the R brand is to mean anything we should be pushing for several important reforms.

1.  Remove as many RINOs as possible because they dilute the brand and hurt all Rs.  Even if it means we lose a couple of marginal seats.  Does having the Maine Sisters vote for the leadership position outweigh the damage they do to all other R's from more average voters buying the Glenn Beck "there isn't a difference between the parties" bull?

2.  To accomplish #1 we have to push for closed primaries.  For example, in 2012 every open primary state is going to be overrun with Ds picking the best RINO for us.  Operation Chaos in reverse.

3.  We need to insist on party loyalty.  By law, contract and custom we need to insist that candidates who run on our label support the nominee and not bail when they lose.  We need to encourage voters to do the same although of course we can only use custom to enforce it.

116 That list in the post confirmed my theory that Pelosi is pouring money into the U.P. of Michigan to keep the Stupak seat.  It is too bad, because Benishek is a good man and the Democrat is a career politician.
