NY 23? Was Hoffman running or has he dropped out of politics?

Booting Democrats out of office is only one step toward a return to sanity and bringing the federal government under control.

The problem is that when Republicans get elected they forget their lofty campaign rhetoric and go back to acting like democrats swilling at the pig trough.

If Republicans do win in November, they need to change their ways and return to governing like patriots, adults and honest citizens.

If they win but do not change, voters will be fed up with them by 2012 just as they were in 2006 and 2008.

Then democrats will be positioned to boot them out again and Obama will be assured of a second term.

the real good news this election cycle is, Bush is gone

The even more good news is even those with IQ's just above an amoeba realize that it wasn't all Bush's fault and that gee maybe the press isn't telling the whole story.

The bigger victory this fall?

Maybe it will be the death of the Lame Stream Media from a financial standpoint and only G-D knows the cause and effect of that....

Great point. Everyone should contact candidates and try to get placed as poll watchers. You do not have to an attorney to do it. Common sense and a little education on what your local election laws prohibit go a long way.

I’m wary of polls screening likely voters. Remember PA-12. Burns was supposed to be ahead and the Dem won by 8%

This is a very desperate time in the history of our Republic. If November 2nd is not a total 70/30 wipeout, then the only alternative is Revolution II. I pray the people see the wisdom in a wipeout. . .

Yeah I was wondering about that too. It would require a 12-point swing from the special election only three months ago for Murtha's seat.

Will a complete takeover of Congress by the GOP also move Obama to the political middle, for the next two years? A moderate or neutral President Obama will be much more difficult to defeat on November ‘12. The 1994 election results ended up helping President Clinton win a second term.
