WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 The battle for Congress rolled into a climactic final weekend with Republican Party leaders saying the best outcome they could foresee was losing 12 seats in the House, but they were increasingly steeling themselves to the loss of at least 15 and therefore control of the House for the first time in 12 years.

NEW YORK TIMES GLUM AS IT STRUGGLES TO HOLD READERSHIP
Ah Touche'!
Our guys are sandbagging the NYT!
Reverse psychology.
Get out the vote.
Call me crazy, but I don't understand....
Oh I am SOOOOO glum! /wrist
(/sarc)
Tokyo Rose & Lord Haw-Haw rolled into one...
The New York Times is the American version of Al Jazeera. Anyone who subscribes to the New York Times needs to discontinue their subscriptions. The only way to hurt them is to not give them money. The same goes for all the other MSM outlets that slam America and embolden our enemies.
Glum struggles quagmire failed scandal corruption, base deserting end of era stupid cowboy, squandered goodwill isolation low approval global warming, Iraq Iraq Iraq, bad economy rich tax cuts offshore drilling, unions protest aliens hurt poor abused minorities disenfranchised. Oh, and Katrina, you heartless racist Republican bastards. -Your New York Times
Yes, the NYT is glum, glum, glum, glum...
LOL. It's hilarious. Wasn't it just last week they were talking 50?
Spin, spin, spin.
In 2004, my 19 y/o son called me at work on emergency because he heard news on the radio that Kerry was winning huge. He is not active politically, and didn't even want to vote. But when he thought of the possibility of Kerry as pres - he drove straight to the polls and voted. He said the thought was "surreal". If my indifferent son can be spurred to do such a thing, imagine what effect the interested voter will have to this news?
Thats some serious reverse psychology!
I'm not glum! I don't know anyone who shares my political beliefs who is glum. Sounds like the Times is making another effort to disenfranchise conservative voter's. Can we sue??
Gosh I'll have to just change my attitude then!
I'm STILL going to vote AND strait Republican.
Take THAT Mr.(glass half empty) Gaylord!
I think our {GOP} operatives are employing political judo here. Why argue with the NYT when, if they do so, they'll be ignored. Why not do a rope-adope and claim you're really glum? That'll get into print IN A HURRY.
Don't you find it odd that virtually NONE of the GOP guys is willing to refute the NYT dire projections?
It's feeling more and more like Rove and the boys have outfoxed the dims again.
I don't feel glum at all.
The NYT forgot the part where Newt said, "...barring some dramatic shift in momentum."

Gaylord ... ahuh huh huh huh huh ...
I am not glum by any stretch.
Whatever happens. And I expect good news.
I will oppose dems with the same vigor no matter what happens. Until they are gone.
Not as glum as the NYSlimes will be!
Seems Gaylord is Robin's go to, GOP basher:

Gaylord = turncoat
ROFLMAO!
Not before you, you slant-eyed little bastard!!
Glum? I'm laughing my arse off.
My reading of the historic moonphase voting chart predicts a gain of 5 to 8 seats by the Dems.
(Hey, why not a moonphase poll? They're always home!) )
Here's a chart of moon phase and how the outparty does in House seats.
1992 waxing +9
1994 waxing +54
1996 waxing +8
1998 waxing +5
2000 waning +2
2002 waning -8
2004 waning -3
2006 waning

C'mon Joe... ray down you lifle... there's hot food waiting for you just outside your pelimeter. No need for you to vote... stay home... where it quiet.
Propaganda is only effective to the degree that those to whom it is directed are receptive to its message. Don't believe the BS emanating from the media loudspeakers. Let them think they're winning - and then go out and kick their asses.
It is the NY Times that will be VERY glum on Wed. I'm feeling a big, big victory over these clowns.
NO...No...let them say this....it will convince their people that they are soooo far ahead of the Republicans they won't go and vote, and we, the Republicans, will win BIG....
you know yo might have something there...knowing what my nursing unit goes through when the moon is full!
OK, crazy. Ever play Bridge, Hearts, or Spades? You tell the NYT that yes, your party turnout and support just plain sucks. They in turn trumpet the landslide victory that the Dems anticipate. Queers, drunks, and druggies dominate the Dim spin. This further demoralizes the Dim constituency. But the Dims have a "plan". They will hire limo's, buy '40's and smokes, and threaten to out their own queers, drunks, and druggies. They gave up on the Adultery thing after Clintons problem (impeachment).
This is not over until it is over.
When the NYTimes goes to bed, it checks the closet for Rove!
Glum? NYC is projecting. We Republicans are excited, expectant, looking frward to a strong Republican clean-up victory, and celebrating the blogs and freedom fighters who have come forth to fight the good fight.
If he's sentenced to DEATH, any further trials are moot and we are again reminded of why our troops are in Iraq - depose Saddam (or REGIME CHANGE as it was referred to when Clinton adopted it as policy, but did nothing more than lip service). DUmocrats wanted the election to be about Iraq, and so it is.
1. Jean-Fraud Kerry infers that soldiers in Iraq are dumb.
2. Soldiers respond
3. NYT admits Saddam had nuke program.
4. Families of fallen visit Iraq (no quagmire)
5. Saddam sentenced (death by wood chipper)
News cycle seems to be working for GOP advantage thus far. DUmocrats today counter with "Rusmsfeld must resign" and "recruiters caugh lying" stories. Wow. That's new....NOT!
In addition to Saddam sentencing, Fox will be running OBSESSION - THE MOVIE, and we get to see the face of the enemy today and tomorrow. Fox is also showing "waterboarding" (Steve Harrigan, a Fox reporter volunteered to show how it is done) all day today.
I don't know what Monday brings, but I've got a good idea about the day after.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
We aint glum we just don't party next to a full powder magazine. Just wait till its gotime then they'll see how glum we are after the votes are all counted Tue night.
A reporter can always find someone to fit an agenda. The New York Times does it everyday. I personally do not know a single 'glum' Republican and I know dozens of 'glum' Democrats. So there, NYT.
These GOP "professionals" should shut up. Whatever they really think, save it for Wedneseday, November 8. Be optimistic and keep hope alive for now, people !!!
Oh, I'm so glum, I think I'll vote for democrats.
After all, that's what depressed people do. Certainly SANE people wouldn't vote for democrats, would they?
One day soon Adam Nagourney and his fellow socialist crook propagandists will meet the same fate as Goebbels and Hans Fritzsche.
