The suggestion of ____ Ms. Pelosi and ____ Mr. Reid running the highest legislative branches of government will help to turn out Republican voters. The MSM/Dems will experience unintended consequences of their bias and propaganda.

It's always good news when Kos is upset.

Your "psych-warfare" is what the commies used to call
"agit-prop". Same thing.

Imagine how sweet it will be when we hold both houses?

This is a classic Rovian techniques. Make the Dims overconfident.

If the Left didn't own the MSM, we'd never lose an election.

They are hardly wrong to say that a lot of GOP'ers are expecting a D takeover.

You are talking to one. At least the House.

I'm not happy about it, and I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not going to put on rose colored glasses for anybody.

The evening of November 7, 2006 I will have a good bottle of wine and some great snacks ready. Will be standing suicide watch near the local Democrat headquarters.

I am confident we are going to keep control of both the House and Senate. Looking forward to fun evening.

This just in ...

In a straw poll of average Americans, 90 out of 92 believe Mark Halperin is a pinhead. There. That was easy. What MSM-network will hire me to be their "Political Director" (an ominous title)?

Is this pre-emptive surrender on the part of the Republicans?

Or is it artificially lowered expectations, so when the dust settles on the day reserved for Dem'crats to go to the polls ( November 8th this year, I believe), the outcome will not look quite so bad, in retrospect?

Is it meant to get the Republican base out there, against all expectations, all riled up and driven to crawling over broken glass to get to the polls?

(Or, just maybe, it is a very sophisticated rope-a-dope to lull the Dem'crats into self-suppression of their own vote, by not being as concerned about a Dem'crat win.)

Help! There are just SO many aspects to this whole "finesse" political scheming, I just can't keep up.

Maybe so, but we've got Conservative Talk Radio, FR and the rest of the conservative websites, no small thing.

The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.

and so is a growing number of weak kneed RINO Republicans.....a good chunk of the party has a decidedly socialist and/or defeatist stench coming off of it. They never did act like winners even after taking both houses after 60 plus years

If (big if) the Dems win, watch out for the MSM to seriously accuse the President of being mentally imbalanced and call for his removal. I kid you not.

If the dems win - they'll start impeachment proceedings immediately - even without this.

Go Tigers!!!!!!!!(and the Yankees were boasting about how EASY it was going to be to beat the Tigers!)

"many","most","insiders","predict","lose". Story leaves out the basic elements of telling even a partially truth story except where they claim there is overoptimism. If the fear of loses came from TRUE Republican insiders then the MSM would not have had a problem giving out their names.

The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column. The Fifth Column has a Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense is in Seventh Heaven. In Seventh Heaven, they play Eighth Notes. Play Eighth Notes before the Ninth Circuit. Ninth Circuit pays a Tenth Part.

"they are basing it on rigged MSM polling overpolling Democrats."

How many conservative voters even answer their phone when they are home? Most use voice mail to screen their calls or are not even home. And, how many do all of their telephony with cell phones?

I have done voter phone calling for Mike McGavick's U.S. Senate race in Washington State. On a given night I have been able to talk to one out of eight voters I have called. Many of the phone numbers have been disconnected. Many are voice mail machines. There are some who put their phone line on a FAX machine to discourage phone callers. A few have moved. These are supposed to be targeted Republican voters to get out the vote. Even with these targeted voters, I get several in a given night that were targeted Republican by mistake and these will hang up on me. This tells me that my chances of getting a person on the telephone who is a DemonRAT are very high.

I agree, MSM is lying about poll numbers so they can investigate Diebold.
