The outlook for Republicans in congressional races continues to just brighten and brighten, leaving the GOP easily on track to retake control of Congress, snip
why will Republicans do so well? “Opposition to the stimulus package and Obamacare are the two key elements driving this election,” snip
Here’s how Morris sees seven key Senate races:
New York – snip But Gillibrand has the advantage of beginning her ads two weeks ago. “DioGuardi only has the money to start now,” Morris says. “I think that race will close quickly.” snip
Delaware – Republican Christine O’Donnell has closed her gap behind Chris Coons to 11 points from 20 points two-three weeks ago.

I think at times Morris forgets that GOP means Republicans, the gang that couldn't shoot straight!
To borrow a phrase: We never miss a chance to miss a chance
I agree with Morris. Turnout will be the key. Republicans are energized and the dimoKKKRATS are not.
Of course, it’s not limited to these Republican candidates, but Morris was focusing on the closer races, in his opinion.
Thanks to the Tea Party folks, we replaced many RINOs with conservatives, and in 2012, we’ll replace some more, as well as replace Obama.
“Turnout will be the key. Republicans are energized and the dimoKKKRATS are not.”
You nailed it!
I’ve said it a few times in the last month or two:
Republicans will win any seat they poll within 4% of the challenger. It’s going to be a TEANAMI!
Agree 100%. All these candidates need to do now is run (ads) against Porkulous and ObamaCare, from morning til night til Nov. 2. The Teanami is coming!!
Morris’s predictions are not worth much, imho.
Morris’s predictions are not worth much, imho.
We need Morris to tell us that?
“Republicans will win any seat they poll within 4% of the challenger.”
I’d say evan better, because some pollsters will cheat in these desperate times.
But it’s all about TURN OUT. Give a ride to any CONSERVATIVE friends who need transportation. But tell the libs the election already happened.
Might as well repost my Paul Revere speech:
Everyone seems to think that the great ‘tsunami’ that appears to becoming in November for the Republicans will change everything and I agree that it will just not in the way they think. IMHO such a great victory will in the end be equal to South Carolina’s firing on Fort Sumter. The ‘DemonRATs’ and the leftist will ‘go to the mattresses’ and ‘war’ will breakout
Does Obama/Pelosi/Reed or their kind seem like people who can take even such a dramatic loss gracefully? Do they seem like people who can or will learn from a loss and correct their course accordingly? Or do they seem more like people who will go to any lengths for revenge?
So many seem to think that November’s elections are some ‘Magic Wand’ that will wipe away our troubles! Let me tell you after such a win (if it happens) the REAL TROUBLE WILL BEGIN!
Yes the Republicans will more than like scored big this November, but will the ‘DemonRATs’ learn anything? Hell NO! For that matter will the RINO’s learn anything? Just read from any number of articles on O’Donnell’s win, look at what Rove and Snowe have said, look at what Murkowski and Crist are doing, look at how the Republican Leadership of RINO’s allowed Murkowski to keep her committee positions! Do not these acts show you what will be learned from such a victory, LITTLE if anything! The Elitist Jerks of both parties are scrambling for their political lives and they know it!
Oh you say but those ‘DemonRATs’ up for re-election in 2012 will learn fear, they will be scared to the ‘middle’. First the middle of the road is where you get run over! Being in the middle of the road is what got the Republicans’ butt kicked in 2008! Some say oh they won’t pass anything with the the people so opposed to them, to which I say, BS! DO any of you remember the crowds that surrounded Congress during the ‘Obamacare’ vote? Did it scare them?
Look about you it’s not only the ‘DemonRATs’ but the RINO’s as well who refuse to see that they have brought, supported and passed an agenda that the American People have rejected. They still feel that they know best and any defeat will only come about due to the ignorance of the electorate.
I have posted this before and I will keep posting it (I am beginning to feel like Paul Revere: THE RADICAL PROGRESSIVES ARE COMING! THE RADICAL PROGRESSIVES ARE COMING!) because I know in my heart that I am right about this, too many are thinking that the upcoming November elections are going to reset everything. And I say that NO matter how bad November is for the ‘DemonRATs’ you can bet that ‘Zero’ and his kind will not only press on with their agenda but DOUBLE DOWN on it! And now it looks as if there will be RINO’s looking for their revenge from getting their butts kicked out that will join them.
I don’t believe that the November elections will immediately change a thing! The Washington creatures both Democrat and RINO still believe that they know best and will act accordingly.
Even if there is the BIGGEST turnover in history this November the Obama/Pelosi/Reid triad are such a pack of narcissist that they will come back during the ‘lame duck’ session and pass every far left-wing bill they can think of! They will burn the house down before they surrender it! If they can’t drink from the well they will poison it for all! If they can’t keep it they will surround it with mines and keep anyone else from getting to it! That will be their reaction.
Even after the ‘lame’ duck session you will see the greatest attempt by any President in our history to rule by executive order! ‘Zero’ KNOWS BEST what is good for us and he will act accordingly. No mere election won by a bunch of peasants or as ‘Zero’ describe us: Bitter Clingers (“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”) is going to change his direction. To ‘Zero’ such a election will hold no meaning and only be the ‘peasants acting out’ and he knows what is best for those ‘bitter clingers’ and he will do it to save them from themselves!
If anyone thinks that a big loss in November will make one iota of difference in Obama and the ‘DemonRATs’ leftist agenda you need to seek professional help immediately, because I assure you that the sounds you will hear coming from them after such a lost will not be the ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth’ it will be the notes of El Degüello.

IMHO the November elections will NOT provide the immediate relief we think, but will instead it will be the ‘dropped gauntlet’ the slap across the face the challenge that will bring us to what I call a National ‘Battle of Athens’ moment (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnnews/kns001.htm )
A time in which it will require much more action that punching a ballot to save the Republic. There is so little ‘middle ground’ left and what there is, is shrinking every day.
IMHO there will soon be a time of great choosing and you will be required to make a stand to: Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the bidding of others wearing the yoke of socialism or will you hold true to the course of our forefathers’ standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE THE REPUBLIC!
Morris’s most interesting observation of late has been that the conservative position “is now the mainstream position.” I don’t know if this is true but if it is....
To the extent that elections can be useful in stopping the onslaught of Marxism in Ameirca, it will take three of them to make a real dent. And it will have to be Palin or a facsimilie of her (though there is none) who wins in 2012.
But winning in 10, 12 and 14 really only starts the process — which will require overturning every major institution in America, all of which have been infected by devastating leftism over a period of decades, since even before WWII.
It will take a massive effort by generations to resurrect and preserve our republic. It can be done but the work will span as many decades as communism has been on the ascent here.
I enjoyed your post. A lot of good points.
I’m afraid you’re right.
I can’t go for that; no can do!
