I expect the final tally in the POTUS race to not be close. Current polls in no way, shape, or form are reflecting reality in terms of motivation to remove this POS from office. I predict that turnout on the GOP will be shockingly big.
Post the picture of the Vulcan chick in her mirror universe uniform!! Now that’s a nice visual!
The discussion of numbers is too esoteric for many. Ehe visceral issue of a Death Panel is far more effective politically.
Madison - Rolling on from last week’s primary victory, Republican Tommy Thompson leads Democrat Tammy Baldwin in the U.S. Senate race, two new polls show.
A poll by Marquette University Law School found the former governor leading the U.S. representative from Madison by 50%-41%. That lead for the former longtime governor and former federal Health and Human Services secretary was just larger than the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.2% percentage points.
The telephone poll was conducted on August 16-19 with 576 likely voters and included cellphones in its sample.
Also Wednesday, a new poll by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling gave Thompson a 49%-44% lead, a bump from a poll by the firm in July that had the pair tied at 45%. The margin is still just within the 2.7% margin of error for the poll, which surveyed 1,308 likely voted using an automated telephone survey.
Obama has a MAX popular vote number of 42-43%, and thats if he runs a perfect campaign, his campaign is a joke. I Honestly think this guy will be LUCKY to hit 40% of the vote on election day. He may very well get a lower pecentage of the vote than Hoover in 1932. We are looking at a repudiation of an administration of epic proportions folks... This isn’t going to be a squeaker.
Obviously fight like it is, but there is no way its going ot happen.
If everything were to remain static from 2008 to today just 1 in 14 obama voters would have to change their minds for him to lose. Does anyone really thing a guy who has presided over the biggest disaster of an administration in 100 years isn’t going to lose 1 in 14 of his supporters? Seriously, fewer folks are going to have JOBS the day his term ends than the day he took office!! No president in the modern era can make that claim, not EVEN CARTER!!!
Factor in that things won’t be static from 2008, Republicans won’t be sitting on their hands this time around. I fully expect at the end of the day independents will break close to 2-1 for Romney. IN some polling a full 20% of democrats are admitting they will vote for Romney, when just swing states are polled Obama is down roughly 10 points today... Do you think his numbers can go up??
42-43%, that’s his popular vote max.. and I franly don’t think he’ll hit that.
Sorry, wrong number.
The GOP will take Missouri no matter if Akin or any one of the other two run.
The GOP will lose if there is a write-in candidate.

Barbara Luna was hot in that episode, too.
I haven’t seen a lot of Linda McMahon, but what I have seen has impressed me. She’s a tough, smart lady. I probably wouldn’t agree with her on every issue (i.e. she’s probably more liberal on some things than I would like) , but Connecticut is another one of those states where I think you have to pick your battles. If she ends up being the equivalent of a Scott Brown, I could certainly live with that as the “replacement” for Joe Lieberman.
I was going to say the same thing...or well, I'll believe it when I see 'Alberto DelRio' drive a FIAT 500 into the arena, instead of the cars ($150K+) that he drives.
Maybe, CT voters are going to pick up 3 house seats (CT-2, CT-4 and CT-5) for the GOP. (CT-1 John Larson and CT-3 Rosie DeNutjob are to LIBERAL to go GOP, even thought John Larson talks - in the district like a conservative - he votes like a LIB and CT-3 is home of New Mexico City (fka New Haven, so Rosie will win!)
Could someone please vote GOP for the state races!! Please!!
The Small towns of the Litchfield Hills are trending Democratic? I hope Roxbury, Bethleham and Morris are Republican.
I hope South Windsor and Glastonbury will go for Romney!! (My towns that I spent time in!! the other town I grew up in (East Hartford won't vote for Romney!)
She had the question of the race last time:
Something like “How do you create a job?” that had her opponent completely deer in the headlights.
Who knows I hope the numbers are true. Two years ago mayve everyone in CT could still convince themselves that Obama would turn it around.
Maybe reality hit them all like a 2x4 in between the eyes these last two years and its dulling the effect of the kool aie.
We’ll see.
Obama got 50% of male voters in 2008. Heh... Anyone think that’s going to happen again? I think not.
CT Goes Republican???
It Is entirely Possible. Don’t sell her short.
If we could get the voter registration rolls clean of non-legal names, and post armed guards at all the Cemeteries to keep the RATS from re-collecting their loyalists, ......
CT’s got a Tax-o-RAT Governor. He may just be enough of a ugly reminder to Get Linda elected.
Yes, most signs if not all point in that direction. The Dims have overplayed their predilections for Marxism, and their media can't cover the Dems for what has happened over the last 4 years and what will happen in the future if there is no change in direction.
Isn't it interesting how wrestling imitates the goings on in the dem party? All the stuff the "bad guys" get away with that everyone except the ref sees. Art, in a manner of speaking, imitating life. Especially how CM Punk schtick of demanding respect, isn't he emulating the crybaby-in-cheif? If I lived in CT Mrs. McMahon would definately have my vote.

Mainstream media predictably has this election as a "horse race" but they are deep in denial. We are going to see a GOP landslide that might well outperform that of 1980.
Furthermore, I believe that Mitt Romney might shock a lot of conservatives who have written him off as a hopeless RINO. The choice of Paul Ryan is only the beginning. Remember that Romney ran successfully for office in what probably is the most liberal state in all of America.
Only a very few Republicans have ever won statewide in Massachusetts over the past 50 years.
I’m skeptical.
2010 was a big year for us — and McMahon was the nominee running against a guy who claimed to serve in Vietnam multiple times and lied through his teeth! She still lost.
The poll is encouraging but we need to see more.
