Encouraging news.

I’ve read that the Dems do have huge money to spend and will be able to run a lot of tv ads.

But I think the feeling in America is too strong and all the energy is on our side. Just the opposite of 2008.

Ok, so I’m confused. Whenever I see individual breakouts of specific races, it looks like a GOP landslide-—yet the weekly “congressional updates” we get only have the Republicans winning 34 seats as of today. Who’se right?

How is Alan Grayson fairing? I’d love to see him thrown out.

I'm praying they do. I bet they once again over reach and air some outlandish commercials pissing off even more of the electorate for playing "politics" while the Country suffers.

On every post and thread, my Tagline has said it all for over a year.

100+ seats.

A TSUNAMI is coming to wipe the Dems from Power.

I know a little bit about the PA races. The GOP guy in PA 10 has done virtually no campaigning, and has no money, and he’s up 15 points. Amazing. Mayor Lou Barletta is up 11 points in PA 11. That’s significant. Barletta ran against Kanjorski two years ago, and lost by 2 points I believe, in a Democratic tidal wave year. This should be his year.

The Democrats will pull out all the stops, saturate the airwaves with misleading and false advertising, but these are very good numbers at this stage.

Encouraging, yes. But they’ve got 11 weeks to turn things around.

It is hugely important not only to elect these Pub challengers but to elect Pub state legislators, guvs as well as Congressional incumbents. It will take a united front of GOP,Indies, Libertar., Reagan Dems, Teas to do this. Why? Because any vote for Dems from local to Federal offices gives them a jump on re-districting for the House in 2012. That would be a disaster because we all know Dems lie, cheat, lose ballots, deny military ballots, and make up ones for felons and illegals. That is the truth and it is outrageous that no one stops them. Poll watchers better in these upcoming Nov. elections.

Politicians can only call the American people racist homophobic xenophobes for so long before they take it out on them at the ballot box.

*************************************************
The weekly updates reflect the district level polls. As more favorable polls come in the takeover estimates will increase. So far there just haven’t been enough polling. The polls listed in this thread are a good example of this - in many cases these are the first polls we’ve seen.
