Plotting Up Predictions of GOP Gains in the House
— Geoff

A lot of predictions of GOP gains in the House have been floating about. Without any ado, here's a graph of the predictions published in the past month.

I'm sure this is no surprise to anybody, but I thought it would be nice to be able to see it. On a t-shirt. In liberal coffee houses and at rallies for Democratic candidates.

5 The latest polling that I pulled from my ass shows that the dems should net about 10 seats.

6 LOL, the RCP range is actually 45 to 85. Off the chart high!

7 O/T but relevant (at least for me, and I'm damned selfish): has anyone experienced any more virus problems over at HotAir. A few months ago a whole mess of Morons got infected by HA. I haven't been back since, but I'd like to. Scared shitless though, as it cost $200 to fix.

And by that you mean there will be at least 10 dems security will have to net to remove them from their seat after they lose in the election. Oh and Liza Muwhoski.BIRM.

12 Do any of the major polls factor in cheating, corruption and such in the voting process? How much of an edge does that give the Democrats?

14 These polls do not know what is coming. they have Buck tied in CO. Despite the fact the republicans are on place to cast between 80,000-100,000 more ballots (they are at 52,000 or so lead with atleast 45% the expected ballots not in or coming from Election Day.) Republicans only have a 60,000 overall voter register lead.

15 No, they said 48 to 60 with the possibility of many more.

I should mention that all the bars have 0.5 added to each side, so that single-number predictions will show up on the chart.

20 I'm guessing the bottom two polls are accounting for Democrat vote fraud.

21 From John Boehner via FB:

President Obama recently referred to Americans who disagree with him as "our enemies." Mr. President, there's a word for fellow Americans with the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them "enemies." We call them patriots.

It's between 2% and 5% depending on locale
Highest in areas where the democrats have power already

When I was a kid my Mom would drive a car load of minority voters to several precincts where they would have their name registered to a fictitious address but no ID.
They had to let them vote.
There were lots of volunteers who did this.

26 All I know is after the joys of ball-dipping in pudding, apple butter, hot sauce or the unguent of one's choice, we have to hold the victors accountable at all times. No backsliding. No compromising. We have only just begun to fight. This ain't Hiroshima 1945, It's the Dolittle raid 1942. And don't you forget it! Now, VICTORY!

27 Based on enthusiasm at the Stewart rally, I suspect Dem turnout may be *light*.

Rarejazzcongress.com has 71

Jay Cost: could be over 80

Strata-sphere.com: could be over 80

Democrat defections appear considerably underestimated.

I believe around 90, and Senate 11

29 I have an etiquette question.

What is the proper temperature for the pudding in order to get the best immersion experience possible? Should it be lightly warmed in the microwave or perhaps chilled in the freezer for a few minutes before immersion?

As a faithful moron, I should know this already but, alas, my former education appears to have failed me. So, please, answer my question with kindness and not sneers and jeers. I think at this epic moment, it is a righteous thing to ensure the pudding is "served" at the proper temperature.

After all, an event like this doesn't come along very often.

34 The only real poll that counts is the one taken on Tuesday, at the ballot box. That will tell the story of what will happen. All of the rest are just wild guesses. Oh yeah, watch the state controlled media try to hedge on the exit polling; the way they did for Lurch in 2004.

Posted by: Stan at October 30, 2010 11:18 AM (N1Gru)

35 There isn't going to be nearly enough exit polling, we're going to just have to wait for the returns.

36 Dems doing a good job in early voting in NV. From National Review Online...

"The Democrats had another good turnout day in Clark County on Friday. They now have a 25,000 raw vote lead which is nearly a nine point lead relative to total registration and about four points under their registration advantage of 13 percent. Republicans still hold the overall turnout lead relative to registration in Clark and Washoe counties combined, but that edge is just under 4 percent. Democrats have a 22,000 urban vote lead when Washoe County is factored in. "

Is there a similar chart for the Senate? Seems like the House is practically a "done deal".

Last I heard (weeks ago) was that it was about a 1-in-3 shot at the Senate. It must have changed by now? Has it gone downhill? NV seems decent, but DE is still in the toilet (I think) and CA ain't looking so good.

As with anything custom, price is still a factor. While world sport jersey may be more expensive than regular paintball pants a few things should be considered. First, if a team is having custom jerseys and pants designed and manufactured at the same time, savings can be achieved by reducing design time since a lot of the design characteristics will be similar between the jersey and the pants. Second, with the availability of additional space for sponsors, the cost may be offset by the addition of more sponsors. Third, custom paintball pants allows a team to definitely stand out. Custom jerseys can still look similar from a distance. Two teams may have red and white in their design and though the soccer jersey are completely unique, from far away all that may be recognizable is a player wearing a red and white jersey with black pants. Now a team is able to have a custom uniform that is unmistakably distinguishing from any other team.
