The Battle for America 2010: What Are GOP Prospects for a Senate Takeover One Week Out?

Wasn’t it in 2006 that the GOP lost almost every closely contested race and the Senate flipped to the Dems? That was the year the House went over to the Dems too?

The current GOP over Dem enthusiasm gap is much larger than in 2006 and everyone is thinking we will have a different result and the Dems will be able to hold on. That is what they predicted in 2006, too. Well, until a historical trend has been broken, I will stick with the trend. I say we get to at least 50 and Lieberman, the whore, will caucus with the GOP. And Nelson (NE) the great big whore may switch parties.

We would have to fight an Obama veto all the time anyway. We may be able to work with a Democrat senate to get things done than to work directly with that idiot in the White House.

Does anyone think that the reason the media sells the 90% - 10% spread among the black population is to mask fraud?

Think of it.

An inner city precinct reports 99% turnout going 90 - 10 rat. No one questions it because we've been conditioned to think that blacks split 90 - 10 anyway.

What if they're really splitting 75 - 25 and fraud changes the numbers to 90 - 10?

[RockinRight]

Fraud, certainly, but I bet the split is still 90/10...

The bottom line is that two years ago the Dems gained a fillibuster proof majority in the Senate. They are on verge of becoming the minority party. Even if we fall one or two seats short, that is a MAJOR victory.

You're absolutely correct. The Senate map in this election was so bad.... 6 months ago, I thought 4-5 pickups would be HUGE. Now, 5-7 look likely to me.. and, if momemtum really gets going, 9-10 are certainly within reach.

In 2012, the Dems will be defending quite a few more vulnerable seats.

On several levels Ghetto voting is a fraud and it is not simply limited to "walking around money" but also extends to a know nothingness not unlike the superstition bound Arab street which rejects the scientific method for the most preposterous conspiracies. There has been a ghastly intellectual fraud perpetrated on African Americans from which they likely will not recover for generations.

This was the most disturbing sentence in the entire article:

“a higher than expected Hispanic turnout could lift Reid to victory.”

Pray for a deluge on Election Day in Las Vegas.

Well, Ken Buck in CO and John Raese in WV have not helped themselves recently. Buck blew the Debate badly. Raese refused to come on FOX News Sunday this past Sunday with Joe Manchin. He gave Manchin a free pass. I think the polls will show that by refusing to appear, it hurt him.

November 2nd needs to hurry and get here. These two guys are doing everything they can to blow their lead.

“Collins, Snowe, Graham and McCain are about the only RINOs left.”

If Mark Kirk (IL) gets elected, he’ll be right in there with those RINOs.

In several of the races viewed as “toss up” or “leans Dem” the undecided % is quite high..especially so close to election day. Thhe majoritu will usually go to the challenger. If Boxer is only up by 2-3%, with 14% undecided...she loses
