It’s true that the sun comes up in the East every morning. That is TRUTH. Would you like me to post that every day?

Those are the 9 states, plus a 50/50 chance of picking up NH for number 10.

EXACTLY. Denying facts because you don’t like the messenger is, well . . . stupid.

He was spot on the last 4 cycles and works to get it correct regardless of his politics.

They should just change the rules like the dems did. I sick of the republicans playing by Marquess de Queensberry rules and the dems being no-holds-barred. We know dems are beta males and feminazis, but what are republicans if they can’t deal with that? I will tell you — losers.

If this was a solar observation forum, it would be appropriate.

We are a political forum, so get over yourself.

Well if Obama’s impeached the vice-president takes over, and that’s Biden.

A 60% chance the GOP can take the senate is a good chance the party will shoot itself in the foot and fail to take it, or if the party does get a majority in the senate, it will shoot itself in the foot and not make any progress, or should I say “reversal of the progress” made by the left while they held unfilibusterable power.

Yes, I know that is a non-word...

How about the rest of us who heard this longer than you?

How about some who have been here longer than the both of you x 2?

Some posters really need to start adding something of value to the threads for a change

Sulking thumb-suckers can take their posts over to DU. Maybe they'll cheer somebody up over there.

Right. But that necessitates making his term short & silly.

Never EVER under estimate the power of the STUPID party to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory.

Mark this post, see me on Nov 5th and we'll see who's right.
