— CAC To f*** up, if we learned anything from 2012.
With Schweitzer out, Montana Democrats are scrambling to find a means of holding a seat they have held since 1913. That's right: the Class 2 Senate seat being vacated by Max Baucus has been held by Democrats for a hundred years.
With other salivating pick-up opportunities in South Dakota and West Virginia, along with vulnerable Democrat incumbents in Alaska, Arkansas, and North Carolina, Republicans have their third chance in three straight elections to win back control of the Senate. So that means only one thing:

I have 100% confidence in this prediction.

Frankly, the Republicans haven't done that much better for the Class 1 seat.

WTF is a Class 2 Senate seat? Is it missing the built-in massage action?
Posted by: Cicero
Article I, Section 3 of the U. S. Constitution:
Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year.

You, know your nic makes me wonder if the New York Times isn't really on to something. So much of the Republican message (when our candidates are not busy shooting themselves in the foot, shitting in their pants or selling out to the Democrats) is about a positive vision of a united, peaceful and prosperous country while the Democrats seem to be doing quite well selling race hate and division.
The Trayvon Martin might be the place to change directions. The black Democrats drew the lines as black Anglos against white Anglos and White Hispanics. OK. Let's take Compton nation wide.

Doing fucking cartwheels on the runway and shutting down SFO for other airlines might have something to do with those cocksuckers' reputation being harmed. I'd like an 800 number where I can file a claim for the additional expenses accrued from some family members' flight to SFO being cancelled for three goddamned days. Until those garlic reeking little dickholes make me whole, they can piss up a rope with their complaints.

Holder and the rest of the DOJ are going to rhetoricize and then inflame the base, but I don't think they'll press charges. Their haste to gin up racial tensions when this all started is their downfall for further charges.

Nothing will ever change: The GOP (which is predominantly made up of pure opportunistic RINO pieces of shit) will continue to bleed power over to the Demorats either by election loss of complicit actions after their wins.
I've seriously been wondering lately if the Demorats didn't have a plan from 20 years ago to subvert the GOP with Demorat-operative plants.
