I’m starting to think most of these races might end up about 3 pts better for the GOP than the polls are showing, similar to Christie’s showing in NJ last year.
The Republican pollster’s summary of the results, which you can find at Politico, reveals that among likely voters, the lead in this poll is twelve points. It’s interesting and revealing that all the major pollsters, save Newsweek, are aligning in the nine to twelve point range. Plus, they all are at pains to point out that among the very most likely voters, the Republican lead is even larger. We could have an historical blow out. First item of business: defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That would set the tone.
OBAMA---THE FLOP OF AGES Ohaha was electorally castrated when he invested time, money and WH resources in NJ 2009 Nov. The NJ race was considered a "squeaker" that would go on till all hours. HOWEVER, the Repub was declared the winner two hours after the polls closed with a comfortable 4-point margin (would have been higher were it not for Dem voter fraud). Coakley conceded 45 min after the Mass polls closed.
THE OBAMA SLAPDOWN Ohaha was heavly invested in the 2009 NJ gubernatorial race. Pulling out all the stops made Ohaha a VERY good target for voters disgusted with Ohaha’s policies.
The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad incumbent governor Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH team.
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions,
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Ohaha campaigned in the state three times, Biden was there twice.
(g) Ohaha TV ads ran relentlessly in costly NY media markets.
(h) The crooked NJ Democrat Machine was also running at warp speed.
OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ's CORZINE TO WIN.
>> Incumbent Dem Jon Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the Repub winner about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers on the ground election day to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.
>> Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimlulus in New Jersey.....for Corzine's reelection campaign.
And still Corzine lost decisively.
===========================================
THE UPSHOT The WH's lack of political savvy was glaringly on display. According to Ohaha's slimy Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, Ohaha was "busy with other matters" election night and "wasn't really concerned" with NJ election results...an indication the WH was sucking up valium and vodka in order to anesthetize themselves from the aftermath.....trying to convince themselves the election was not a referendum on Obama.
The Obama WH's involvement in Corzine‘s campaign was political stupidity at its nadir and put an end to Obaba’s hopes for a permanent Democratic majority. Despite the fact that the WH was heavily invested in every aspect of Corzine's NJ campaign. Obama also gifted Corzine w/ $17.5 BILLION stimulus that according to the AP Press, simply disappeared.....never to be seen or heard of again once it hit Jersey. Then came the Mass earthquake.
For Dems, hope springs eternal as Obama finances endangered Dems subrosa with unspent stim.
I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this speaker Nan ,
I do not like this ‘YES, WE CAN’.
I do not like this spending spree-—
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free.
I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.
I do not like this kind of hope.
I do not like it.
Nope, nope, nope!
Go green... recycle Congress in 2010!
Hussein’s first post-election initiative will be that of creating voters—er, I mean CITIZENS-of the 40 or so million illegals in the nation. Ignorant, uneducated, welfare recipients and single mothers...the PERFECT democrat voter profile. And Hussein will do this by executive order if AT ALL possible.
The Democrats talk about rallying their base, but the fact is that they have lost the independent vote.
A massive wave is coming, that is why Obama is in Blue States, not Red ones, hoping to limit it's damage.
Love it!
That is what his attack on Arizona is all about!
The Mayor of LA is Hispanic and the Legislature in Sacramento has a sizable group of Hispanics.
I like to wait until election day to vote, but I just couldn’t wait any longer so I voted today. It felt SOOOO good!
Prepare yourselves for 2 yrs. of being repeatedly called Racists at 6 and 11, and all morning long on Sundays.
I hope your right.
“The Tea Party does better than Democrats, too, at 41/38. “
We don’t see that comparison very often in the media.
Then again, I suppose he could issue the order and dare the congress or the courts to man up and do something about it.
We are immune to those playground tactics. Now, the GOP, on the other hand, had better grow some gonads!
Forget the phony polls showing races are tightening. They’re not. They’re designed to get the (few remaining) Dem faithful to the polls. It’s not going to matter. A GOP sweep, with the help of disgruntled, disillusioned independents, is coming.
Not me. I pulled a 1979 Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin I've been bogarting for decades. Tough as it's been, I'm going to vote and pop it on Nov. 2nd. And I'll raise a glass to you, Tanker, and all the rest of our FReeper brethren!
(Yes, some rednecks rathole wine.)
Oh, I’m gonna be popping a good bottle myself!
I don't want to jinx things, but I have the same feeling. Turnout could change the result dramatically from the polls, especially distorting is the fact that motivation was very high for the Dems in 2006,extremely high for the Dems in 2008, and now insanely high for the Conservatives in 2010.
