I dont think we will hurt us in the mid-terms. The polls are showing we got beat up over the shutdown, however the special election held last week in NJ yesterday is promising. Sure the D won, it is NJ after all. But they won by only 11 points over a hard core tea party candidate. This after weeks and weeks of the media bashing conservatives and the tea party. 11 points seems like alot but is in line with the way NJ usually votes. In previous senate elections over the years the D’s have won by: 19 in 2012, 9 in 2006 and 10 in 2002. That leads me to believe that conservatives and the tea party will be strong in the coming elections, even with the biased media. I pray I am right!!!!

Well here’s a question — WILL VIRGINIA (most often a red state, lately going blue), elect a Democrat governor, the provably corrupt, Terry Macauliffe, or the principled conservative, Ken Cuccinelli?
THAT is the bellweather for me. If Virginia votes for the Dem, this tells me that America is slowly moving left.
