1 What's 'Miserable Failure' in Austrian?

4 Gawd he's stupid.

But his pants are impeccably creased. 

5 What's the term  for wheeling and dealing in Quebecese? In Belgian? In Philipinish?

6 Go back to Germania with the rest of the Swiss!

7 Looks like the Teaparty is beginning to spread.

8 Wow, Headlines Thread and I haven't scoured the news yet!

9 @7 What's the word for "teabagging" in Australian?

10

Wisconsin moves up the scales out of t/o and into lean Republican

Rasmussen

Feingold 44%

Johnson 51%

 

ND,IN,AR,PA likely

CO,IL,WI lean

WA,CA,NV,CT,WV tossups.

 

This also draws $$ away from Illinois - Dems are really going to keep pissing money down the MobBanker's drain when they have an incumbant to defend due north?

11 How about this: Green Headline banner at Fox for live coverage: Huckster speaks at Values Summit

Are they pushing him? probably not as they like Mitt. But you can see 6the cornpone liberal is definitely thinking it is his turn now.

I wonder what they are going to do when they have two employees running against each other in the primaries in Palin and Huckabee.

More from Rasmussen on Johnson V Feingold:

Johnson is backed by 94% of Republicans in Wisconsin, while 86% of the state's Democrats support Feingold. Johnson holds a nearly two-to-one lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party.

Hmm..2 to 1 lead...I am sensing a pattern here...

Could you toss in row or two for "Locks" at both ends of the spectrum?  For instance, here in GA it is a lock (the last poll taken had Isakson up by 22).  It would be nice to see the Republican Lock column grow and the Democrat Lock column shrink.

22 Huck and Mitt support in the GOP elite will be strong. As soon as you see it emerge you will know to reject both of them. Palin and the TEA Party are the main driving forces now. Palin will run.

I've said this before in the AoS comments, I met The One when he was running for US Senate in Illinois.  This was just after the primary, when his people succeeded in getting Blair Hull's divorce records opened up (Blair Hull had been the favorite to win the dem primary up until then, but those allegations of wife-beating fixed that).

The One was dumb, and arrogant.  That's why he has to bring his teleprompter to staff meetings, and every public appearance including rodeos.  He is an arrogant, angry man, but he's not smart.  However, his puppetmasters are brilliant.

Well per my earlier postson here ALL Republican seats are locks to solid at this point. Florida was the last dangler and Rubio is kicking Crists ass- as most here predicted 3 months ago.

How about this list?

Republican seats laughably considered tossups in 2009-

FL,LA,MO,OH,KY,NC,NH

Tossups now? 0.

Democratic seats considered "safe or likely" in 2009:

ND,IN,WI,WA,CA,CO,PA, WV not on radar MA not on radar.

Tossups now- 3 of these (but everything else is leaning or likely Republican in addition to the then-vulnerable IL,AR, and CT seats)

My TV screen is blank of Dem commercials now, and it was full a week ago.  Haven't seen a Dem yard sign.  Anecdotal, but true.

27 Hmm. Anytime today I misspeak someone misunderstands me, I'm claiming I am speaking Austrian.

Johnson is self funding

Raese is self-funding

Kirk is partially self funding- he has raised nearly as much as Rubio

McMahon is self funding

Rossi, Angle, Buck and Fiorina NEED some $$$ thrown their way as they all have expensive media markets and had early fundraising success but need a constant stream for advertising an GOTV.

 

As for Ohio the ad $$ is being cut down apparently on the Dem side and they are openly weighing just how much to spend- the only thing keeping them there are the house races and if many of them look lost they may just abandon ship altogether (note- they wont totally abandon it, but say go from spending $5 million to $150,000 statewide)

I know I'm daydreaming here, but it keeps my spirits up to think about what Obama will do with himself once the voters turn him out in 2012.  There won't be as much interest on the part of his handlers to actually handle him, they will move on to their next stooge.  Two more years, sigh.............

That's not stupid on the Dem side.  Ohio is a red-leaning purple state, with deep blue urban cores (or corpses) and ravenously conservative hinterlands.  Because of the rust belt economics, our population centers are "rings" around the cities.  These burbs tend R in the south and D in the north, but are persuadable.  There are no blowouts in Ohio, with the exception of the 06 Governor's race when the prison preacher Strickland (Really, he spent a long time as a fucking prison preacher) blew out Blackwell, who had the disadvantage of being the R candidate following Bob Taft, a more fuckless feckweasel one is wont to find. 

This cycle, the rings are all R, following the national wave like they always do, but more-so when that wave is R.  It's gonna be a bloodbath.

50 Looks like the Teaparty is beginning to spread.

Interesting fact.  The CEO of Wicked Weasels, that awesome company down under that makes the world's smallest bikinis, is a tea party type person.  Before he removed them, he had a blog section on the website (Hey, I like to browse for stuff to buy for the wife!) where wrote in great detail how the government continues to squander his taxes in ever amusing and tragic ways.  He wrote that if only the long arm of the government would stay away, he could grow his business and hire more people, letting the government get more tax money in the end since his business would be larger.  That, and he's a huge global warming skeptic.  We need to get this guy honorary Tea Party citizenship.   Maybe he can make a Tea Party theme microminimus thong bikini?

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!!!!!

 

Efforts to tame America's ballooning budget deficit could soon confront a daunting reality: Nearly half of all Americans live in a household in which someone receives government benefits, more than at any time in history.

At the same time, the fraction of American households not paying federal income taxes has also grown -- to an estimated 45% in 2010, from 39% five years ago, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan research organization.

A little more than half don't earn enough to be taxed; the rest take so many credits and deductions they don't owe anything. Most still get hit with Medicare and Social Security payroll taxes, but 13% of all U.S. households pay neither federal income nor payroll taxes.

"We have a very large share of the American population that is getting checks from the government," says Keith Hennessey, an economic adviser to President George W. Bush and now a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, "and an increasingly smaller portion of the population that's paying for it."

79 Rendell shit the bed in PA and the whole state is abuzz over it:

Gov. Ed Rendell's top staffers knew of Homeland Security tracking protesters in July

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell speaks to the Harrisburg City Council in early June.

Gov. Ed Rendell said Tuesday night he didnÂ’t know anything about his administration contracting with a private firm that tracked the activity of citizens engaged in lawful protests and then distributing that information to law enforcement and private companies around the state.

He may been one of the few who didnÂ’t.

Rendell said James Powers, the director of Pennsylvania’s Office of Homeland Security, which distributed the intelligence bulletins, would not be fired because “there’s shared responsibility here.”

Indeed. The Governor’s chief policy adviser, Donna Cooper, knew the content of the Homeland Security Bulletins was “questionable” back in July.

At that time Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Dan Rubin was given a stack of the bulletins by someone “wondering whether the money for them was well spent.”

The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response, with offices in Philadelphia and Jerusalem, was under a $125,000 contract to supply information to Homeland Security. Rendell said Tuesday that contract would not be renewed.

Rubin reported in July that the bulletins contained all the kinds of information Rendell claimed Tuesday to be “appalled” about - gay pride parades, candle light vigils and even groups that rallied in support of the his own policies.

Rubin noted that one bulletin included information on the Good Schools Pennsylvania group, founded by Donna Cooper, and asked her about it.

She said, “If that’s the kind of stuff that’s in the newsletter, its appropriateness is questionable.”

State Police Commissioner Colonel Frank E. Pawlowski was aware of the bulletins; at least, they were distributed to the State Police and Rendell said Tuesday that Pawlowski told him nothing in the bulletins “was of any value to the State Police.”
