Democrat Pollster: Low black turnout in 2010 may cost Democrats the House
Patriot Room ^ | October 14, 2009 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 10/14/2009 6:37:56 AM PDT by Bill Dupray

Tom Jensen, a spokesman for the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, has been among the most outspoken. He said the high number of Democrats with districts that are significantly black means such a turnout shift could be disastrous for Democrats.

“If what looks like is going to happen in Virginia plays out on a national level, I do think Democrats will lose the House,” Jensen said.

If you pay them enough, and bus them in, they will turn-out.

Good. Get the subpoenas ready and start investigating the Obama WH inside out.

Fair is fair after all

I submit there will be some “black church burnings” to boost voter turnout by Nov 2010. My guess is axelrod, carville, rahm and begalla are working overtime to achieve such an end. There will be no surprise, it happens like clockwork every two years.

Well...with ACORN on the ropes it definitely throws a fly in the ointment.

I hate to say it but most people in this country are not even aware of congressional elections...we need to use this to our advantage and stop this madness...

Given what happened in '96 I think it's unwise for us to take control of either House in '10.Yes,we want to come within a few seats of doing so but we want both the Speaker and the Majority leader to be RATS from Nov '10 to Nov '12..This way,we can block whatever needs to be blocked *and* Hussein can't run against "that evil Speaker" or "that evil Majority Leader" as BillyBob did (*very* successfully) in '96.

We'll take the the whole shebang in '12!

Obama will turn out the black vote in 2010. And with 15.4% unemployment and much higher if you use other measures, then they will have plenty of time on their hands to vote.

As soon as those checks stop flowing, ACORN will be powerless. No people to drive the buses and no gas to put in them.

Psssst, let’s not warn them or tell them about it. OK? Let’s not get them stirred up enough for them to actually bother to go to the polls. OK?

Didn’t I read not too long ago that several black GOP candidates will be running in 2010? I wonder if that could help the GOP (provided that the MSM gives them the time of day).

Four voters passed through a St. Louis polling place a few years ago. 34 votes were tabulated in the first hour of voting. Claire McCaskill was the result.

And let’s add “low turn-out of the youth vote” to the analytical mix. I think it was the combined enthusiasm of the black voter and the youthful voter that sealed Big Ø’s 2008 sweep. Nothing close to that enthusiasm is on the horizon for 2010.

I don’t see the Baraqqi coalition as nearly as formidable without the Messiah hisself on the ballot.
But 2012 is no slam dunk, because they will turn out bigtime again for him.

Baraqqi coalition:
Minorities
Illegals
Dead voters
Union members
Idiot liberals

Socialist traitors in the House and at every level of government will cause RATs to lose. We The People aka The Sleeping Giant have awakened and we’re big-time pissed.

All voter fraud must be exposed, reported, and prosecuted before 2010. We’re on to their treasonous games.

Let’s hope that NJ and VA governor’s races turn Republican in early November to send a message to 0bama that we are coming for him and expect to toss him out in 2012. Republicans are motivated to show up for elections in 2010 and should show up in droves, fighting through the dead people, the bussed in and the people voting multiple times that ACORN drags up.

It won't help. Racism is the assumption, and any African-American's who go along with it are just Uncle Toms.

Oh, boo hoo - but again, yes, blacks were “excited” to vote for Mr. Half-Black last election -(America’s First Racist Vote)- but the known determining factor of Obambi’s win is that true conservatives STAYED HOME!!!!!!

With a strong candidate in ‘12, I don't believe a GOP controlled house will be an issue. IMHO we lost the election in ‘96 because we ran with a weak candidate. Bob Dole is a good man, but few in the GOP were happy about voting for him in ‘96.

To: Gay State Conservative

But in your analysis of what happened in ‘96 you have to factor in:

1. Bob Dole, easily one of the lamest campaigners in GOP history.

2. The budget showdown in fall 1995, in which Clinton shrewdly began shutting down popular federal functions (such as national parks), which caused the House GOP to go weak-kneed. Had they stuck to their guns and made their point, people would have understood the larger virtue of budget discipline. Instead they caved. That was a terrible failure in strategic leadership.

3. Did I mention how bad Bob Dole was as a candidate? He was one of those guys who deserved a gold watch for his years of service, NOT the nomination!

The press are setting up the excuses already, they writing is on the wall that 2010 will be a democratic bloodbath, so they have to set up the storyline now, because we all know it won’t be “democrats and leftist socialists repudiated”.

Colt 45, works every time.

And I mean it in the nicest way. In my area, they pay the homeless to go out and vote.

I think democrat voter turnout will be at an all time high, whether anyone shows up or not.

With his 100%, die-hard MSM support there's no way Obama fails to win in 2012. No way. Might as well crown Romney the nominee now so he can take his scheduled turn as the "gracious white loser" and get himself out of the way of the next generation.

But there is at least a reasonable chance Obama will have a both a Republican House and Senate to deal with for his last four years. I think in a very Clintonian style he will prove to have no coattails.

Virginia, for sure. NJ has enough dead Democrats voting that I don't think the margin for Christie is enough to overcome the rampant fraud.

I don't think the level of unrest among most voters is quantifiable to the degree that we know what will happen in 2010. But my feeling is that it's going to be a bloodbath for the Dems.

This type of article is an example of what’s wrong in our society and we are just as much a part of it as the liberals and pollsters. We’re 13 months away from election. 13 months is a long time in politics. And yet, we’re worried about who is going to show up to vote.

Did that really happen? I know that ACORN had people arrested in St. Louis a few years ago for forging up to 3000 fake voter registrations.

I voted in the last election in NJ. A very fat woman took my ballot, and carried it off with a cardboard bin of other ballots. All around the other "workers" were smirks and smiles. They carried them into a small room and shut the door. It was the most blatant display of Democrat voter fraud I had ever seen.

There was nothing I could do about it. My vote, my taxes (the highest in the nation) had to see that.

I would have been screaming at the top of my lungs until they called police to either take me out of there or make a report of the fraud. Either way, I would have made sure it made the news. The next time, you may want to bring a small video camcorder (and a cameraman).

Anyway, my sympathies. Here in conservative Texas, I've only always witnessed everything on the up-and-up. Voters personally take their ballot to a single, sealed reader/storage container - the only one in the polling place.
