GOP couldn't pour piss out of a boot with "reach across the aisle" written on the heel.

2 The BP leak is plugged and Ogaba has promised to lay low for a while, so that might produce a bounce.

3 Tummy churning.  But I imagine it will be a roller coaster until Nov.  Makes me remember how some here were saying we didn't want to win control in both houses this year.  Does this make them feel better?

Charles Cook said recently that he was seeing the numbers shifting DEM.

Posted by: 48%er at August 01, 2010 06:36 PM


Actually, I think they could pour the piss on that one.

6 I don't see why Pennsylvania shifted to toss up. Rasmussen's last poll a couple of days ago showed Tommey ahead by about 8 points.

7 A subsequent poll has re-narrowed that NV race. Red State explained why that Ras poll came out the way it did and he was not too worried about it.

8 As the economy keeps collapsing over the summer, it'll probably shift back.

9 Don't give a rats ass what these polls say, people are pissed, the Dems are fucking toast.

10 Unfortunately the economy isn't getting any better under the dem's argentinian policies (despite the fed prop up) so the indies are likely to go gop at the end of the day.

11 We can't stress over every poll from now until November, or we'll all go insane.Or more insane in some cases. I'm no seer but I frankly don't see that shift. Rasmussen has taken some heat recently for being too "conservative" leaning in his polls. As of now I don't see it.So chill, and lighten up Francis.

12 I pay more attention to the polling histories of these races rather than the "race ratings" of Rasmussen, Cook, CQPolitics, or anyone else.

Toomey has held a steady lead of 5 or 6 points over Sestak in Ras' polling over the last couple of months and can only benefit from Tom Corbett at the top of the ticket.  At this point he still seems to have the edge in November.

Rossi is down two points in one poll after having led Murray by two points in two previous consecutive polls.  Hardly panic time.

Nevada?  Harry Reid hasn't broken, what, 45% support?  His lead over Angle is only a couple of points after they've thrown the kitchen sink at her?  I'm not too worried about this one.

13

The solution is obvious, isn't it?

More pandering to illegals!

And more "just the tip" into socialism!

14 Hey, the MFM work hard to make sure people only hear good news about Democrats, and bad news about Republicans.  They are working double-time it seems.

15 I thought November was Knucklehead Nirvana?

There's gotta be a way to make that birther shit stick. Or, maybe say he fucks his kids. I dunno.

Just do what Ace does. Pray the US economy gets worse; pray for a big terror attack (but not where Ace lives, ok?).

You're a bunch of fucking traitors, really.

And by traitors, what i mean to say is that I really, really enjoy large, uncut man-meat between my quivering, pasty legs.

16
Yeah, people hate Obama, Reid, and Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats.

But that doesn't mean they're gonna leave their houses to vote for the Republicans.

They need a reason.

17

Charles Cook said recently that he was seeing the numbers shifting DEM.

Cook, a partisan Democrat himself, sees what he wants to see.  His race ratings have consistently and conspicuously ignored genuinely vulnerable incumbent Dems in House races and underplayed Republican chances in seats that are very likely, if not slam-dunk, pickups.

18
and here's eggmcmuffin.

19 Listen, knuckleheads. I have a Dartmouth email address. Do you HEAR ME, knuckleheads? Dartmouth!!! I am the smartestest!

20 Guess the dems have been out with their "walking around money" and cartons of cigarettes.

21

one thing: just remember MO. While Obama barely lost it in 2008, it has been the ultimate wave/bellweather state, to include off year elections. So, if MO is trending Red, I can't understand why the others are going blue, save MFM overdrive antics.

22
it's pretty fucking sad when we're losing to the likes of eggmcmuffin

23 If Nevada re-elects Reid, then that whole state can go collectively fuck itself, sideways, in the squeakhole, with a fresh pineapple.

24 Just curious, what kind of margin defines a toss-up? According to RCP, Ohio is a toss-up in all categories but the sense I get is that Dems are in real trouble here.

25 Sixty percent of our wonderful voters probably don't even know (or remember) that we have a new health-care law, and half the rest think it means free health care for them.  Best we can hope for is that they're so pissed about the War they'll stay home.

26 But Intrade has the Dems up by 20%!!!!!!!!

27 If Nevada re-elects Reid, then that whole state can go collectively fuck itself, sideways, in the squeakhole, with a fresh pineapple.

If Nevada re-elects Reid, then they already will have.

28 Rasmussen also gave the GOP a lead in the generic ballot of 11 points.  Keep in mind that at this point in 1994, the same poll was floating back and forth in the margin of error.  It's a poll that reflects the enthusiasm gap and therefore likely turnout, which means the polls in individual races may not actually show how far ahead the R's are with people who will actually vote.

(Sounds convincing enough to me, anyway.)

29

This election is the Republican Party's to lose, and if they don't start sacking up, they'll lose.

Republicans, would you please stop REFUSING TO LEAD?????

30 I didn't realize that Nevada was full out retard.

31 You're a bunch of fucking traitors, really.

If that means that I want our government to abide by the Constitution, keep taxes low, lower the deficit by cutting entitlement programs & taxes, repeal Obamacare, the financial regs bill, and enforce the damn constitutional laws of the land, then yep...I'm a traitor, a racist, a homophobe, and every other ignorant thing the left wants to call me.

Amen if you can't make money with Casinos and Hotels you can F up a two piece puzzle

33 well, I have noticed a stream of lefty blogs and columnists touting that the Dems will hold (like we were saying in August 2006). One (Greg Sargent) was so ridiculous, even Nate Silver had to call bullshit on it. I wonder if there is some message coordination going on in order to create a media meme to brainwash those who take their voting advice from Snooki for August, which has been the month where in 2005, Bush lost b/c of Sheehan and Katrina, and Obama lost in 2009 b/c of the Town Halls.

34 After the Journolist debacle why would anyone trust polls?

They're also the first state voting on Obamacare this Tues.  Proposition C.

36 31: part of it is the MFM. They are going full bore to save Barry yet again.

37 37: yuip

38 Toomy is up 2 and assholeReid is up 2. Hardly a landslide either way.

39

also, for all of Cook's pro Dem talk, he is citing Gallup's poll of registered voters, which is a more Dem Friendly screen.

But, anything for a meme

48 Any ideas?

Posted by: Dan Schor at August 01, 2010 06:59 PM (b6tLN)

Yeah, go get your fuckin shinebox, bitch.

49 Here in Nevada, Reid's been running some pretty hard-hitting attack ads (effective ones too, I have to admit) and Sharon Angle is literally responding to none of them. In fact, Angle is running no ads at all. I aint too thrilled about it, but that's very likely one reason Nevada has shifted blue.

50 My poll of me says we take the house and + 7 in the senate.
We'll see says the zen master.

51

Any ideas?

You have all the experience. What's worked for you? Or is that just your fantasy, basement boy?

52 November will be fine.

53

 46: the first rule of journolist is, you don't talk about journolist

54 idea! if your party loses the house or senate, then your leaders in each must also lose their seats. (but only for democrats)

55 You guys understand that they have to go on an all out media assault or the bloodbath in Nov now? If they don't establish that it is "close" none of their drugged out retards will show up to commit voter fraud.

56 Shows that the Dems will pick up a billion seats come Nov.

Especially after Crap and Tax is passed.

57 Michael Steele sucks.

There is NO message from the Repubs..  
2010 should be a walk in the park .

58 Socialism is awesome.

59 All I have to say is: this is exactly how we were spinning it around the same time in 2006, and things were way way way way way better then--the Dems are doomed in November, regardless of what polling company 'x' says at 2PM on a Sunday in August before going back the other way the next day. People are pissed beyond comprehension, and it will all out, to the Dem's detriment, in very short order.

60 I don't worry too much,up or down.It is AUgust 1st after all.

61 That's one hell of a vivid sexual imagination you have there, eggmcmuffin. But you really shouldn't repress your sexual attraction to the same sex. It's unhealthy to deny your true nature. One can't be happy while denying their true self. Be true to yourself. Be happy.

62 Well gentlemen, let's not ...count our chickens just yet.

63 It's like I've always said; voters have very short memories.  If Republicans get lazy and don't turn out the vote, we're screwed.

64 Nothing to fear, GOP voters!  Remain calm!  All is well!

65 If erg's a screamin', keep on reamin'.

66 O/T: from the UK is so Fucked Files™:

"Police officers have been banned from ordering suspects to change into blue boiler suits - in case it infringes their human rights.

Instead, they are being encouraged to fetch clean clothes from the suspected criminal's own home so they can feel more comfortable while in the cells."

67 This actually kind of bizarre. There is a massive push back against the Administration and libtards in general. A swing towards the left makes no sense.

68

Yeah, tell your mother that when she's finished blowing me, not to clean herself up with my show towels.

69

the problem w/ polling senate races is that they're unpredictable, in 2006 nobody thought the dems could take back the Senate, yet they won it

also, it's early in the race for some states, espc. FL which hasn't even had the primaries yet; and while I predict we'll take back the house w/ a 40-50 seat gain, I always thought the Senate would be missed just barely though I wouldn't be suprised if a pro GOP surge helped us to take the senate in the last weeks

WA, CA, & WI wouldn't be shocking to lose

FL & NV could be won but certain special things in FL & a bad candidate in NV (thanks purists) could make them go to the dems

the rest should be easy GOP wins, even PA & IL

remember to take back the senate your asking the GOP to basically win all of these races, pretty damn hard to pull off

plus if we take back the house but lose the senate, it'll lead to a stalling of the Obama agenda w/o a 1996 Clinton effect possible

70

Oh Dan...Dan, Dan, Dan...the jihadis aren't so stupid as to try to pull off an attack before the elections (that'll come afterwards more than likely -- goodness knows the Dems have not exactly worked overtime to stop one from taking place).

I suppose at that point we'll hear you squeal about how this is the fault of the GOP -- even though they've been out of power (completely) for the last 18 mos.

You're a bunch of fucking traitors, really.

is this a joke?

1. we don't pray for the economy to get worse, we expect it because socialistic economics have a 0% sucess rate

2. we don't pray for a big terror attack, though I vivdly remeber the left wanting to lose in Iraq and now wanting to pull out of Afghanistan

3. traitors for disagreeing? you guys really can't stand how far you've fallen after the flukes that were 2006 & 2008, you can blame that on a party that did the very things that made us abandon Reps and lost them those elections...well except the Dems did all that and then some

74

Is. This IS.

Jeebus, I think an English teacher is making a voodoo doll in my image right now.

 

75

Republicans need to start getting the message out in about two weeks(difficult though it may be)...right now there's a little lull in the news cycle (the Dems haven't got any crisis on their hands right now -- that the general populace is aware of).

 

And hate to say this: but in some of those races the GOP didn't exactly pick the most inspiring canidates (but I'm through beating my head against a wall about that).  They will have to work doubly hard.

the GOP has the benefit of a rare election cycle that the public trusts them more then Dems and an election cycle that has the country PISSED with Dems, they are the opposing party of an unpopular President that keeps getting more unpopular, a Tea Party movement that is helping them (and I'd argue hurting them in some races too) and independents that feel betrayed by Obama; they need to take advanatge of this election, everything is in the GOP's side, fighting harder can help

80  Oh! The Constitution! My Beautiful Constitution! Hey, man. I don't give a shit about the Constitution. I just want my daddy to love me. And since he doesn't, fuck you.

81 71  IL isn't in the bag -- not for the senate.  See my post @77, and remember, the Chicago machine will be working overtime -- couple that with tepid Republican voting for the top of the ticket, and you could see IL go Dem...again (thank you IL GOP).

82 82 I wiped my dick on your moms curtains.

83

You know, I'm just not going to freak out this far from November.   And you know what?    Polls schmolls.    People are pissed off, and if the polls look like this closer to November, it only means that those that are pissed & even scared about the Obama BS will crawl to the freakin' voting booth, if necessary.

89 This might be old. I heard about Angle dropping behind a week or so ago. But late last week heard that she tied it back up after Reid took a hit in his numbers from the bad economy. I'm not positive. I tend to completely ignore polls. Anyway, I'm hoping for a a GOP landslide. If not I'm prepared for the worst. I'm also hoping the GOP majority actually fixes the nation instead of fucking things up with inaction and political games. If not I'm prepared for the worst.

you have a point as far as euthiasm is concern, people forget Clinton wasn't that unpopular come Nov 1994 and neither was Dubya in Nov 2006; but thanks to euthiasm we saw a wave of political change in congress

frankly while Obama has been taking a historic hit, he's still not as unpopular as one could get, but ethusiam could lead to an even bigger win then predicted...as happen in 94 and 06

92 Bush ramrodded unfunded the prescription drug benefit.

Posted by: Dan Schor at August 01, 2010 07:25 PM (b6tLN)

I love your great ability to debate w/o getting vulgar/sarc

I don't know if you heard, but that presciription drug stuff didn't make the base happy, in fact many things that Bush did didn't go well w/ the base, espc. in the 2nd term

we have opposed this stuff even under Bush, you lefties claimed to as well, but when a Dem got in and spend 100 times as worse, suddenly it's ok huh?

99 I don't think that it is panic time yet.  Angle, Toomey and Rubio are all three putting money in the bank by the buckets full and are waiting to unleash the ads.  I'm not surprised that Reid would be up a couple of points now, but when the Angle ads start, reminding NV of exactly who he is he's going down.  Rubio is just letting Charlie self destruct while padding the bank account.  I think that is good strategy since there is no way in hell Crist can match funds with him.  The real turn comes starting about 45 days before the election, look for the money to be turned loose about the end of September on through October.  The mid-October polls are the ones that are important.

100 with 10% unemployment by the elections, if the dems still win we can start the process of dividing up the country because there is no hope of this country being a constitutional republic.

This.

As Nugent said a couple days ago, it's our fault we're in the shape we're in.  We let it happen.  If the tables don't tilt very soon toward liberty and our republic, I'll have no other option than to think the country has become too stupid to ever fix it.

101

Toomey has held a steady lead of 5 or 6 points over Sestak in Ras' polling over the last couple of months and can only benefit from Tom Corbett at the top of the ticket.  At this point he still seems to have the edge in November.

Bret Baier interviewed Sestak last week and the dude was seriously creepy.  Bret kept asking if there should've been an investigation into the whole Specter/Sestak deal, and Joe just kept with rictus grin saying "The people of Pennsylvania are my top priority."  Finally, Bret actually mocked him saying, I know the people of Pa...BUT...  It was seriously out there.

102 94 Hah,YOU talk of unfunded liabilities!!!Asswipe.

And somehow, there was much constitutional dickwiping.

And fuck Bush for his prescription drug benefit, ergie.

good points, plus on the FL race, the primaries haven't even happen, dems are confused as to who to back w/ a primary race down here and Crist had the oil spill surge in the polls which is now turning against him now that the oil spill has been cap

104

Many Dem incumbants are already running ads.  There are still some Repub primaries to be decided and/or their campaigns yet to ramp up as they are not as well funded as the Dems. Hint, hint.

Your Candidates need money!!!

105 We are over a month away from Labor Day and if it's a Senate race there are almost always debates to be held. After all that, probably early October, tell me what the polls say.

Obama's poll #s change from day to day, and if he continues with cramming down America's throats bills and executive by-passes on regulations that the majority of Americans don't want, he won't be able to pull his ass back up in '12 for a second term.   Right now, all I care about is stopping all of it.   We can't allow him/dems to do any more harm to the country, or we may not be able to pull our way out of the decline.

My only fear is that if we take control of the House & maybe the Senate that he gets a pass like Clinton for a second term.   But, of course, if we can retain control, he'll basically be a lame duck until he's gone.

111 I thought we were morons...

112 There is a leftwing fantasy that Bush was loved by the right.  As with most things, this is projection on their part, since they're the ones who create personality cults around their leaders.  Most conservatives correctly regard Bush as a squish who barely even knew what conservatism is.  He was good on foreign policy/national security: on everything else, he was a disaster who opened the door for Obama.  "Hope and Change" is just "Compassionate Conservatism" on steroids.

Two words: Harriet Miers.

113 People are thinking about their vacations on August 1st, not politics. Nobody starts thinking about business-related matters until after Labor Day and the kids have gone off to school. Let's stress about polls then.

(Remember: when ergie comes it's somebody testing out leftist memes for future use. If "Bush wiped his dick on the constitution!" is all they've got, we're gonna kick ass.)

114 http://tiny.cc/i3m6k Here's my picture.

115 112 Compared to the MFM he WAS far right.

116

Bush was the most radical right-winger than Ronald Reagan!!!!!

He forgot to pull the race card, which is disappointing.

correct, but on the Clinton thing: even if we took back both houses Obama is so stuck to his lib policies and it's such a polarizing time, i'd doubt he'd suddenly act as if he's Reagan and get a surge towards re-election like Clinton did

Posted by: Dave J. at August 01, 2010 07:36 PM (DCQ0q)

exactly, the main reason Dems won in 2006 and 2008 was low Rep turnout, and in 04 Bush won because of a horendous candidate fieleded by the Dems, at least in 08 the Dems got a guy that suckered moderate Reps, plus you don't get approvals as low as Bush did w/o pissing of the base that your suppose to be representing

120 Two words: Harriet Miers.

And Amnesty.  Lefty imbeciles like erg love to point to Bush's low approval numbers, but they can't recognize that they only went low when Bush pissed off the base with amnesty and Harriet Miers.  After spending and other squish failures, conservatives withdrew their support.

If Bush was an arch-conservative, shouldn't he have held the Republican base and stayed ~35%?

121

Posted by: nickless at August 01, 2010 07:40 PM (MMC8r)

exactly, the guy was popular for 5 years, then katrina hit him, then 2006 came and he pushed amnesty and started pissing off the base, that's when things went downhill

and if Bush was so hated why is it he still left w/ positive favorables? Clinton meanwhile left w/ good approvals yes, but horrible favorables, basically the country knew he piggy backed off of Reps in congress

Obama btw hasn't just take a hit in approvals (68 to 42), he's also taken a HUGE hit in favorables (79 to 53)

122 I've pointed this out before but the WA Senate race may well be decided on the 17th of Aug since we have a top two primary now.  Murray was polling behing both Republicans  and ballots went out last week (WA is also almost entirely vote by mail) so I'm not sure that Rasmussen's polls will really mean much at this point.

123 Polls mean not so much until the Fall.

124 OT:  Fox News must be in the Front Row!  Gonna make the leftie's heads asplode.  Got an email just yesterday from moreon.org, they were in hysterics about the possibility.  Oh, and send money.

The only thing that makes me think dumbass may have a second term, if we do take control, is that enough independents/rinos may be afraid of giving total control to any one party, especially after what the dems have pulled this go round. 

Frankly, at this point, all I care about is stopping the madness & turning the country back in the direction it was meant to be.   We can worry about '12 & odumbass after November when the lame duck session is in.   That's when they're going to go buck wild, I think.

My dad used to listen to Air America sometimes, when they were on, as long as his blood pressure could stand it.  It was never on here, so I only got it one time, while passing through El Paso (see what I did there?).  It was a total joke.  Their commercials were for the unions, mother jones, and dead air.  I thought the dead air was a mistake, til it happened every break.

McCain, even in all his base hating magnetism and bad campaigning, had Obama beat, then the financial crisis hit and that's where it hit the point of no return

154 I'm not counting pre-hatched (or unf@#$ed) chickens, but frankly winning the Senate was nearly mathematically impossible anyway. 

All we need is a House majority, and even a small one at that, to put a major logjam in Obama's agenda.

Any gains in the Senate, even the small ones which are fairly likely, are just that much more icing on the cake to reduce the likelihood of a filibuster override.

It was complex.  On the one hand, there was the 'historical' nature of Obama, the MFM pushing him, unpopular Bush, the economy.  Even then, McCain could have done something.  He didn't campaign worth a tinker's fart, Hillary showed (for a while) that Obama's buttons could be pushed and he'd show the other face like in the Dr Who episode.  He refused to turn Palin loose.  That crap about taking a time out from the campaign to go to DC and help push TARP through.  Despite all the things going for Barry, it was still winnable.

161

That picture confirms that Obama is not only the first African-American President, he is also the first gay President.

204 These folks must be insane to think about enabling more Democratic Partisan disaster.

However, sometimes when I listen and read Our Own, I think they want to self destruct.  And I am not talking about the Republicans in Official Positions - I am talking Conservative Pundits and Players.

Krauthammer and Hayes both missed discussing the ESSENTIAL differences between the original TARP Bailout GW Bush offered, with Democratic Partisans controlling Congress - and the massive TAKEOVER difference - including having GM avoid a genuine Bankruptcy for the sake of empowering UNION LABOR.

You just wonder sometimes if some do their homework.

Even Mrs. Palin's offering today on FOX with the ever becoming slanted Wallace, was truly lackluster. 

Sure, "Cajones" is fun, but when it came to the entire interview - the basis - she was far from studied, inspired, reasoned, worthy, to make a serious impact.  Sarah again looked like a stereotypical Amateur.  She failed to answer the most simplistic questions, like why the Clinton TAX INCREASES were a disaster and must never be reinstalled, which helped grow the Recession of 2000.

She failed a very easy opportunity to explain how the Bush TAX Cuts (which Wallace labeled for the "wealthy") are responsible, for they grow the economy and thus raise revenues - lowering the deficits.  This is simply Conservative "101" Policy basics, which everyone should know by heart by now.  Mrs. Palin should be able to reference simple powerful facts which grow a healthy Free Economy which are essential for everyone. 

Regretfully, Mrs. Palin had to rely on reading a prepared piece of paper (just like a teleprompter) - and play another stunt joke with writing on her hand.  She simply didn't answer the question, but read a list of the amounts of taxation which we will encounter if the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire.  She blew it, and later predictably repeated overtly, the most simplistic talking points, like "common sense conservatism" and "we have to win". 

It has been enough time since the Primary for the ICON to grow. and again, this was just not even close to the best offering - especially with the opportunity for so much AIR Time.  I know the hype is thick, but they (especially BIG CELEBRITY Hockey Mom's) have to do far better than this. 

For today, anyone on the fringe could be played by the 'tax cuts for the rich' garbage - with the feeble Palin response.  Even Boehner and McConnell were more than able to answer the sophomoric partisan slant of Mr. Wallace later. 

205 205 Well they do have higher average IQ's.Also ,if they escaped Vietnam or Cambodia I would think they would dislike the Dems,alot.

they're one of the reasons McDonell is Gov in VA right now and the minorty the Reps do the best w/

Do Asian Americans vote Dem?

Yes, in the 80s they did and then 2000 marked a turning point when they went heavy for Gore.

excuse me?

209 206 Teddy was a little,shall we say,cavalier in handling the Constitution.He truly took a bad turn later when he joined the Progressive party and ran for prez again.

Also ,if they escaped Vietnam or Cambodia I would think they would dislike the Dems,alot.

Don't forget about us!

Guess the GOP hasn't paid attention to all the polls that show that they are still hated by an awful lot of the electorate.  Not surprising, I suppose.  They didn't get it in '06 or '08, either.

That's very true. Five or six years ago, Beck had a bit called "More On Trivia" that was absolutely hilarious. He's become much more morose and a real drag to watch and/or listen to.

I have to give him credit for being passionate, tho.

232 Statistical noise.

Obama's Approval Index goes up and down 12 to 14 points on Rasmussen on a weekly basis.  I wouldn't get excited about this.  There is no logical reason whatsoever people would be turning back to the Democrats here.

239 I liked the earlier picture of Odumbass and The Wookie on Drudge attached to the article that stated the The Wookie was going to help the dems win this mid-term.  Awful picture.  Her gut is hanging out further than her sweater meat..... and this is the broad running her mouth that we don't get desert as a birth right.  As far as I am concerned she has invited any stern and ridicule that she receives.

244 I think there's a pretty strong resemblance there.

245 The MFM is waking up to the fact that they need to carry *major* water for the Democrats. This is a surprise, why? The only real "problem" is that the Republicans have, for some unfathomable reason, apparently been caught flat-footed (again) by that fact. Sooner or later the Republicans are going to have to either learn how to manipulate the media or resign themselves to the status of permanent minority. And before anybody starts screaming "EEYORE" at me let me remind you that the only 2 reasons why John McCain is not President of the United States today are because: 1) Barack Obama double crossed him by agreeing to forego public campaign financing and then took it anyway, and 2) He stubbornly REFUSED to admit that he was operating in a hostile media environment and would not take the steps necessary to discredit the media and prepare himself, and especially his running mate, to go on the offensive against that media when they tried to ambush them during interviews. The media IS NOT ON THE REPUBLICAN'S SIDE, and until they fully understand that fact and do everything they possibly can to counteract it they will have, at best, what Jimmy Carter referred to as "limited success" in winning elections.

246 258 McCain thought they were friendly to him because they sucked his dick when he played contrarian to the GOP.

247 White Liberals LOVE Obama because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

Recent evidence has shown significant contradictory and refuting patterns to presented evidence. it is likely the researches failed to account for beta variance while performing their analysis and may have also conflated the affirming and the tangential components.

261 White Liberals LOVE Obama because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

 

Barry really is the whitest person in America.

252 Barack is all up in the Kool Aide but he ain't in the flavor...

253
The Democrats are still awash with money.  Filthy dirty lucre.
Soros is still in there big time, I'm sure.

The Repubs must fight hard and smart with fabulous fresh ad campaigns.
(I know I know)

254 The liberal are exactly like the Palestinians, they hate Israel more than they love their children.
Liberals hate success more than they love their children. Fill the blank with anything, it still fits.

255 Is Michael Steele's picture on a milk carton these days?

Unfortunately I think the Democrats and their MFM colleagues have been pretty successful this summer with their Race Card playing and Tea Party demonizing.  This has caused a general weakening in Republican numbers.  I think they will bounce back as all this stuff fades from the headlines, but Repub;licans had better not get complacent.

I really don't see Joe Sestak winning in Pennsylvania.  This state has never elected anyone as liberal as him to anything, and I sure don't see this as the year to be a big-spending, dovish liberal.

257 Wake me after Labor Day when these numbers actually start to mean something.  Then wake me again the weekend before when most of Idol America starts to actually remember there might be something happening in early November that kinda sorta requires their participation.

That said, I fully expect The Stupid Party to once again live up to its history of never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

258 The first time I voted in the presidential election I was accosted by someone taking an "exit poll".   In all honesty, I felt it really wasn't any of his business but everyone else was filling out the form and I would have looked like a jackass if I didn't fill it out.  So, I lied.

At a social event today a dem/lib brought this up with "where is michael steele these days" as people were talking about who could ever even have the audacity to challenge BO in 2012, knowing they would lose mightily.   Anyway, another lib/dem said " I thought the republicans have him sequestered somewhere so he doesn't do any more damage than he has already done".   I then asked "why would you say that?  Is that what the dems do? and he was saved by his GF coming over to grab him from our clutches so I never got an answer.

260 The Generic R vs D polls show the r's leading by double digits.  I think that's more then in 94.  I'm not buying the American people are falling in love with Reid et al again.  Unless unemployment hits 7% befor Nov. the Dems ar in deep deep shit.

261 "The Generic R vs D polls show the r's leading by double digits.  I think that's more then in 94."

As I noted above, at this point in 1994 the generic ballot was essentially tied.  This post has focused on the Senate, but the generic poll is reflected in House races.  The House is going to be a monumental R wipeout: Jim Geraghty of NRO's Campaign Spot ID'd 99 seats that could realistically flip.  In a wave election, competitive races do not break 50-50.

The Senate will be anywhere from a modest pickup to something approaching what happens in the House, most likely somewhere in the middle.

262 Hey, reality is finally soaking in?

263 Look at what the Navy is doing.

I love how on one hand the left spreads the meme that only the poor and uneducated join the military (minorities getting killed in illegal and immoral war!!) while on the other hand complain about how it’s not “diverse” enough.

264 It's freakin' August. Nobody is paying attention right now, except we junkies. The races start in earnest on September 8. Until then, I ain't worrying.

Sentient spam is sentient.

266 Intrade.com is better than any pollser

267 Why pay the slighest bit of attention to this crap before the actual election? At this point, any polling differences smaller than 20 pecentage points are utterly irrelevant. This is the political shill inside baseball BULLSHIT that nobody except the political animals cares about.

268 The only thing to say is, vote for Democrats at your peril.
