I'd like to believe you're right about Scott Brown, but here are the weak points:
1. The Democrats never thought they'd ever lose the "Kennedy Seat", so they didn't take his candidacy seriously enough in 2008. They'll do anything to get this seat back (hence millions in out of state donations).
2. Scott Brown remains extremely popular, with a favorability rating that usually guarantees reelection, but the argument that appears to be working for the democrats is that this is the seat that could give republicans control of the senate. I heard on a radio talk show last week a caller actually say that they would vote for Brown if he had a "D" after his name, but are concerned about the republicans getting the senate.
Union members have been threatened with fines if they don't vote Warren. The hope is that many union members pretend they will vote for Warren, but when they get in the booth will vote for Brown. This would not be unprecedented. In 2008, union members holding signs for Coakley came up to Brown and told him that they were getting paid to hold the signs, but would be voting for him.
Bottom line is that the polls would have to be way wrong for Brown to get re-elected.
If DuJan’s prediction pans out, the next thing - right beside clearing Obama’s national trainwreck - must be to see to it that these people *never* become a threat again. If that means locking them up, so be it.
Pelosi rammed BOcare in March 2010, not May.
I can’t read anything from Hillbuzz with a straight face since 2008 when the ‘Millions of PUMAs’ will win the ection for McCain schtick.
They always seem quite extreme and out there...
I hope and pray that you are correct.
However, if this happens, we will probably see an out of control Obozo and his thugs in DC until Romney and the new congress is sworn in.
If Obozo loses big time, after he pardons all of his fellow criminals/traitors, he would issues thousands of executive orders to weaken our country even more.
Then, Obozo will resign as president the day before Romney is sworn in: .
1. When he resigns, John Roberts will swear in Biden as President.
2. Then, Biden will pardon Obozo and his cabinet members of all possible federal crimes/misdeeds like Ford pardoned Nixon. Biden will become the automatic pardon machine for the remaining rats in congress and in DC not pardoned by the former President, Obozo.
This might be the best outcome and one more reason to defeat the traitor with massive vote %s for Romney/Ryan next Tuesday after Obozo and Biden clear their rat buddies out of DC with their wide spread pardons.
I wish I could see something different, but I don't expect much with Romney "reaching across the aisle."
I think we’ll gain 3-5 seats in the house-—IA, for ex., has a surprise, and I think Tsei in MA will win.
Let’s roll!
God’s mercy is greater than all of our sin. Thank you Jesus for your love and goodness. Thanks for once more raising our country up to once again to be a light of freedom and a spiritual light of God’s grace to the world.
Now, that will be interesting to witness. I've been thinking "how in hell can America get it wrong again by re-electing the Obama moron"? That would be so un-American if that happened.

Thanks for this thread.
Thanks for this thread.
I got back here a few tens of minutes ago, after knocking on doors here in Central NYState for Ann Marie Buerkle (ACU=100% rating). I was in a pretty Dem-leaning area “to help cut their advantage”, so I have nothing wonderful to report from my contacts there.
What I DO have to report that is great is the atmosphere in her call center. ALL phones were manned when I left there this evening, just as they were BY TEA PARTY folk and YOUNG voters in 2010.
She is in a tough race, a rematch with the Congressman (Maffei) who she beat in 2010. Win or lose, I can report that we Tea Party folk are indeed an activist organization now, and have not at all gone away, despite anything the Dinosaur Media tries to maintain.
I’ll be in a different area tomorrow, and out on the street being human billboard all day on Tuesday. I am not the only one putting in this type of time and energy.
One thing I don’t understand. Why would we want Nate Silver’s career to collapse if he (like all the other aggregators, most voters and news organizations) is merely duped into reporting well on the numbers you say pollsters are manipulating? Why is what Silver’s doing any worse than what CNN or Fox does when they report a headlining poll that shows Obama in the lead?
I would want Silver’s career to collapse *if* his model were grossly inaccurate, beyond fixing or *if* he were manipulating that model. But according to this write up, it’s the pollsters that are lying and he is just faithfully analyzing their bullshit.
>> all of the polls are being manipulated purposefully by pollsters to give Barack Obama a psychological advantage in this election. . . Since this is the first time in American political history when theyve ever done anything like this, I think that a lot of people have not picked up on the fact that there is not a single reputable polling outfit left
I bought my Sam Adams Winter Lager and peanuts over the weekend, so I am ready for Tuesday night. ;-)
Long article but well worth the read. I am very hopeful that the writer is 100% correct in his predictions. The above two examples were my favorites! Thank you.
I think the media showing it a ‘close race’ will actually cause MORE Democrats to vote for Romney. The prospect of another four years of 0bama is going to scare the sh!t out of them. I think 0bama was right about ‘revenge’. They’ll take revenge against 0bama for forcing them to rebuild the party he’s destroyed.
