Unfortunately we would need much more than a 60% majority to pass much of the legislation needed. Too many RINOs.
I thought you said in a previous post that Election Projection was not that accurate. ;-) But his current assessment of a GOP loss of 6 Senate seats is probably just based on the trend of latest polls, many of which are very close. If the GOP's GOTV is indeed as good as in '04 then we can hope for victories in MO and possibly OH and NJ, so they GOP would keep a slim majority.
I hope EP's indication of Repubs keeping 220 House seats is right but it seems optimistic. He does not show any losses in NY State. I am not hopeful Reynolds will win. Plus I have not heard of much fallout for the Dem in Boehlert's old district despite his own scandal. And that one sounds even worse than what Foley did.
You think Barbour will run for president? I would be pleased. Some would say that thick accent he has is a turnoff but I think he appeals to average folks. I would also like to see some other new names in the race, like Sen Cornyn and former Gov. Gilmore.
Bill Richardson!!! LOSER Best Frined of North Korea and his little dog, Mad Madame Albright!!
This little North Korea event should be good for a Senate and House seat or two, IMHO.
Rahm Emmanuel, the ballet dancer, is a Big Fat LIAR!!!
SOmething else that's not talked about, there are TWO seats in Georgia in which the Republican candidates are beating the Democrat incumbants!!! That is huge, and for all the talk about Foley and DeLay's seats, the media doesn't even mention the two where the Republicans are beating the Democrat incumbants. And it's not a sure thing that DeLay and Foley's seats will go for the Democrats. Shelly Sekula-Gibbs is a very conservative well known well liked woman running for DeLay's seat in Sugar Land outside of Houston, and she was ahead of the liberal jerk only two days after she entered the race, and he'd been campaigning for MONTHS. And Foley's replacement is well liked and the idea that people will vote for the Democrat, checking their conservative values at the door, or just not vote, and let a liberal take the seat, I think that's foolish at best, and assumes that conservatives don't really care about their values, and the past five elections have proved otherwise. The Democrats will do good to just pick up some seats. They won't win either House, and with the Democrats weakness on all major issues, and with the nuclear test in North Korea now, it's more likely that the GOP will hold the same in both Houses, or pick up seats. Conservatives don't just not vote, and they don't forget their values.
I'd like a pic of that too. Having a picture of Peloosie with the NAMBLA pedophile leader years ago destroys the argument against the GOP because of Foley. Hastert sure never did anything like that.
I agree. This North Korean nuke test is BAD NEWS for the Democrats. It will focus voters on the real issues in the country and show how stupid the spin on Foley is. This is bad for Democrats. They wanted four weeks of Foley and they won't get it now.
The DUmmies ACTUALLY BELIEVE this was a Rovian plot...
Thank you, jmaroneps37, for your homework on all this.
All the naysayers here seem simply to base their objections on the results of polls--a fatal flaw, IMHO. I don't believe polls. With all their oversampling of RATS and push polling questions, they are merely appendages of the Drive By Media (which itself is an appendage of the RAT party) designed to discourage us. I refuse to be polled--I don't trust them. I'll bet a lot of conservatives feel the same.
All this poll fiction keeps the RATS deluded, too... Then, they're shocked at ACTUAL election results. For example, I think Steele gets huge black vote crossover in MD--STUNNING the RATS, and announcing a nationwide trend that will kill the RAT party in the long run.
Here's how I see the Senate: we pick up NJ and MD, and perhaps lose one of either RI or PA. Then, we pick up at least one of MN, WA, and MI, and perhaps lose one of OH, MO, MT (MT, most likely of those three). Bottom line: we gain one to three seats. Also, I think Florida could be a huge surprise (not counting on it; just saying it's out there)... The FL GOP is strong, and since Nelson is the only statewide RAT office holder, their vote may be depressed.
The media polls are designed to discourage and de-motivate us. Fortunately for the country, the electorate determines the winners.
The Micheal Savage radio show, which is based in San Fran, alluded the fact that their are photos of Pelosi marching with he NAMBAL leader.
