2014 election will be crazy close.
It’ll be a GOP blowout. You heard it here first.
I hope you are correct.
I think what Obama does in the next two weeks will decide it. Or, more importantly how we (as in We the people) react to it.
How do you exceed expectations as a Dem? "Now with 34% more fascism!"?
I can believe this for one reason.
The GOP has not laid out a platform, vision or details on what they will
do if they take the senate and maintain the house.
I have heard nothing other than Reid and Obama are bad.
The GOP would be wise to tell the American people what they would
do with the power other than just run against Obama and Reid.
Has anybody heard what the GOP is running on?
That’s precisely my take, and while I think they will squeak it, it won’t be a barnburner.
Hot air, mostly.
“Has anybody heard what the GOP is running on?”
Empty.
I wish you were right, but how many illegal aliens brought in by team Obama will be voting Republican? These polls are manipulated to factor in voter fraud. Making the expectation match the vote count, including the voter fraud. That way there’s no surprises.
So sets The Princeton Election Consortium.
I thought the same thing during the last presidential election. Bought coal stocks convinced that Obama was toast, and lost my shirt.
I wouldn’t bet on Milt doing anything other than capitulating, this is different. The fact that Officer Darren Wilson has raised more money than Michael Brown’s family, despite all the negative press and positive for Brown tells me something’s afoot.
This is one of the most frightening times in our history. So much of the left, and independents are so taken by the dark side it is scary uncertain which way it will go.
One example that Rush brought up today is important to seeing how easily the masses have be swayed to the dark side. Statistics and polling shows that more voters now/still see Bush as the reason for our terrible economy.
Rush was trying to make a different point, but it can also be read as showing that so many, maybe even more voters have been swayed to the dark side than even 3 years ago.
This election will be harder on the right than many see. When you add in the voter fraud that will be prevalent (no DOJ to even think of confronting it), I think we could sink deeper into the slime than we are today.
Only prayers and with God's help will we avoid a terrible route this cycle.
See my tag-line it is truer than ever.
History tells us that a president’s party almost always loses big in his sixth year. Combine that with the “silent majority” backlash to all the scandals, wars, riots, disruptions, economic travesties, Obamacare, rampant inflation & unemployment and all the rest. If the Democrats somehow retain control of the upper chamber you’ll know that fix was in from the get go.
I hear what you are saying. And, normally, I would agree.
But, this time around, I'm not so sure.
Because I don't detect any corresponding enthusiasm for Republicans and their ideas (of which there seem to be none that they're willing to talk about). In 2010 (and 2012), the "broken glass Republican" was a common creature. This time, so far, not so much.
In 2010, the Republicans at least seemed committed to cutting spending and killing Obamacare. And they rode on the wave created by these two issues. But, after four years of inaction, four years of playing the accomplice, nobody truly believes the GOP is going to do anything about these concerns.
Indeed, we worry that the party may now be committed TO big government and Obamacare.
In its current state the GOP doesn't elicit a helluva lot of confidence or enthusiasm, much less excitement. It would not shock me if the Democrats were more successful with their GOTV efforts than the Republicans are with their's.
The GOP will hold the House and gain +4 in the Senate.
