How? Because if it ain’t close, they can’t cheat. Part of the Democrat’s playbook is to constantly repeat that Republicans can’t win because the ‘Rat juggernaut is just too enormous. Just like the the USSR did right up to the day it collapsed (with help from the NYT).
I didn’t say they’d win just by cheating, I said cheating was a part of their strategy. Mostly they count on a well-practiced ground game while the GOP largely depends on their people getting off their duffs and voting independently.
Organization is far more likely to succeed than an amorphous collection of allegedly outraged citizens.
The GOP has enough motivation to win maybe 30-35 House seats and 5-6 in the Senate. To go beyond that, they’ll need organizational tactics that they’ve never developed.
That’s not so bad, however. Falling short of congressional majorities will deny Obama a serious reason to whine about the GOP holding up all his crap socialistic legislation but it will likely result in Reid and Pelosi being voted out of their leadership positions.
