Nothing to worry about here. I think the Republicans will take the Senate, even if 0bama gets re-elected, God forbid. Please God, forbid 0bama’s re-election; Prayers up!

If the GOP wins the Senate, will they engage in “power sharing” and allow the Dems to call the shots?

The conventional wisdom about who will control the Senate next year has sure taken a turn. Republicans were once rated a safe bet to win a majority, and as late as September 2 were given an almost 50 percent chance of doing so by statistician Nate Silver on his New York Times blog.

This was at the same time they were saying Romney had no shot?

My suprise upset pick is Lingle in Hawaii. Notg that I have any special knowledge of the race, but simply because I don’t believe that she would have entered the race unless she thought that she had a pretty good chance. She knows the state..having been governor..and viewed as a successful one..for two terms..she also knows that Obama is popular in the state...he’s gonna carry it easily, and yet she feels that she can win...while not conservative enough for many on FR...( think of her as the Hawaiin Scott Brown) ..she is SMART..a savvy politician..and I don’t think she’d waste her time, energy, and money, on a kamikaze mission..can’t wait to see the first real polls...

statistician Nate Silver on his New York Times blog.

Only problem is Nate is a Leftist blogger and Obama supporter who selectively cherry picks his polls. He is a classic example of a garbage in-garbage out analysis.

Here the problem. Analysis based on polling that oversampled Dems. How about this.

How about Silver do the same thing he does to Rasmussen. He takes out Rasmussen from his analysis calming Rass oversampled Repbs.

How about Nate try and discount the state polls that are over sampling Democrats above what Obama turned on in 2008?

If they had Akin on there, I would have sent him some cash.

Nate Silver will never do that because he’s a shill for Obama. It’s amazing that some consider him reputable. I can’t wait for his predictions to be proved BS come November. He’ll never be talked about again.

Now is the time for all of us in deep red states, like mine, Texas, to donate to both the republican candidates in contested races and to Mitt Romney. We cannot vote in the swing states, but we can send money. I just did, again.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I suspect Silver will walk back a bunch of his more outrageous claims the last week in Oct to gloss over his shameless propagandizing. He will claim the polls “tighten during the last week” to cover up his shilling.

In Missouri, it looks as if Republican Todd Akin will stubbornly stay in the race. Akin, despite his horrendous gaffe about pregnancy and rape in August, has moved back to within striking distance of unpopular Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill, and he has convinced Newt Gingrich to come to St. Louis for a fundraiser next week. Republican strategists warn, however, that Akin still faces a tsunami of negative ads in the home stretch.

Todd would have been a lot closer at this point if the RNC and MO GOP kicked in earlier with the dollars. At least they may start getting their heads out of the sand and start kicking CLAIRE.

Keep going Todd!!!!

Wisconsin may have some liberal voters, but they aren’t going to elect a Lesbian (Baldwin) to the Senate.
