"VA 9 Boucher 42, Griffith 39 R+11"

I have a difficult time believing that one. As disgusting as it may sound, Boucher practically 'owns' that district. I've never seen him win by anything less than 15 points, and that was in 2004. I was happy just to see the GOP even challenge him.

Just anecdotal here, but I HAVE seen LOTS of Griffith signs everywhere, and hardly any Boucher signs. I know this means nothing, because in '04, there were LOTS of Kerry signs(Kerry lost by 30 points in the locality where I saw lots of his signs), but I never recall seeing a challenger to Boucher with lots of signs up. I also saw a Boucher TV add earlier this week. I've NEVER seen him run a Television ad. His TV as was almost a comedy, if not just sad. He was remarking on all of the jobs he has "created". Anyone that has lived here for more than a few years knows that this area has been literally BLEEDING jobs. I saw him in the grocery store not long after he voted FOR Cap & Trade, and I almost yelled at him. lol The ONLY thing he has done is bring home pork since the dems took CONgress, and always manages to get his mug on the newspaper when it happens. Who knows... Maybe Boucher doesn't know how to run a seriously contested race, because he's never had one...

If the republicans can get within single digits in this district, it truly will be a 'wave' type election. If the republicans can get a win out of this district, it will be a Tsunami of epic proportions!

Just how many elections have communists lost once they were in power?

That's why this election is so important. If our guy or gal is ahead by 5-10 pts and loses, then it's on to Revolution II while we still can. . .

In FL8, Todd Long lost the Repub primary to long-time Fla. legislator Daniel Webster. Race against Grayson already dubbed “The devil and Daniel Webster”! Webster is gentlemanly, reserved - could not be more of a contrast to the bombastic, unhinged a**hole Grayson!
Haven’t seen any polls yet re Webster v Grayson.

I double-checked, and found a source saying 52-39. That seems unlikely, though, since that leaves only 9% undecided. I’ll definitely see what I can find before I post another thread, probably in a couple of weeks.

AZ 8 Patton 45, Giffords 44 R+4

Jesse Kelly is the Rep nominee. You must be using old data.

Thanks. I hadn’t found that one (probably because it was an internal).

Thanks. I tried to find out when a polled candidate lost (Long v Grayson, for instance).

Far to early to be declaring victory, son. There is still a lot that can happen between now and November, and you should never underestimate the ability of the human mind to believe whatever it wants, despite the evidence to the contrary.

Thanks. Maybe in a later edition. So much work! But KeyHouseRaces was a great resource... 4 more polls!

No one is declaring victory. I’m merely pointing out the possible.

I got an email from Dr. Rob Steele in MI-15.

"""""Recent polling conducted by Public Opinion Strategies shows that Michigan's 15th Congressional Race has become much more competitive. The poll is clear: Dingell is vulnerable.

When asked if the election were held today, data shows that Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) is only up 51%-42% on Dr. Rob Steele.

Dr. Steele surges ahead when respondents were informed that he is a practicing cardiologist, he has helped build his heart clinic from the ground up, that he is a first-time candidate, and that his top priority will be to stop the out-of-control spending in Washington. Dr. Steele takes the lead over Dingell 46%-41%.

That district is a D+13 district with the City of Ann Arbor in it.

Don’t get me wrong. I like the guy too. I’d like to see the GOP pick up the seat, but could do a lot worse than Minnick.

Switch parties ? Have you seen Minnick’s voting record ? He got a 56% liberal rating in 2009. He’d never win renomination as a Republican. The guy in AL, Parker Griffith, scored a 44% liberal rating and lost renomination handily after switching parties.

Perhaps I have fallen away from my determined realism into a pit of pessimism, but I still can’t see a solid reason that voters will vote “FOR” Republicans wholesale in November. Republicans continue to try to give voters reasons NOT to vote for them on a national level by and large. Were it not for a few outstanding Conservatives and the upstart Tea Parties and their candidates propping UP the Republicans in the primaries, the Republicans would be just as limp and impotent as they were in 2008.

Additionally, as BAD an August — yea, WHOLE SUMMER — as Obama and his Democrats have had, the leaders seemingly haven’t cared. Why? Well, they are ideological zealots for one thing, that’s sure. But it’s more than that. They believe they STILL have a lock on Congress. Through massive fraud, media bias, legal manuevering, and national Republican weakness and unwillingness to fight their corruption of the election process, they believe they can retain Congress , even if by only a hare’s breath margin.

The Republicans get 30-38 House seats, 6-7 Senate seats — no more. If by some miracle they DO get one house, it will be the House — but they will be able to co-opt/buy enough RINO’s to continue to force thru Obama’s agenda virtually unhindered while using the Republicans as their whipping boy’s for the 2010 election to great effect.

Gosh I hope I’m wrong — but the Republicans have NEVER failed to make me RIGHT since 1996 with their failures — and the Democrats have ALWAYS proven me right with their diabolical and treacherous acts to gain their own power at the peril of the nation. Why should I believe it will change now?

Murphy has a wonderful career ahead of him as a slip’n’fall lawyer.

His political career is over.
