The GOP does the most damage to themselves by always spouting that “I can walk and work across the aisle” nonsense. If people vote for them, it will be because they are rejecting democrats, not because they want the squishy in between.

Romney did that in the last few weeks and that hurt him as much as anything else. It was so stupid.

The democrats show no desire to walk across the aisle, so the idea is ludicrous.

You know in the Senate races, the dems are going to cheat wherever it is needed to retain the Senate. I still doubt the GOP will do anything about that.

I still think the pickup will be 4 or 5 for the GOP. They’ll make a couple other races close, but we all know what “black magic” the dems manage to work on close, recounted races.

So then, Ditch Mitch, by any means necessary, as an example for the others.

Well, that won’t be enough to control the Senate.

Well, Mitch McConnell isn’t going to have it easy in Kentucky and he might even COST the GOP the senate. Polls have him running even or slightly BEHIND his Democrat opponent, Allison Grimes.

Well, given the RATs expertise at election theft and the GOPers’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

“I predict very high turnouts in the Urban Jungles that will go over 100% Democrat.”

And I predict you are wrong and here is why.

The seats that we intend to easily win are Montana, Arkansas, West Virginia, South Dakota, Alaska. Biggest City in the bunch is Fayetteville Arkansas.

The states where we have a good shot are Michigan (there is no longer a Detroit city govt.), Louisiana (New Orleans still depopulated), New Hampshire (biggest city is Manchester), North Carolina (dems in Raleigh Durham might be able to cheat their way to a win).

States where we are hoping are Iowa, Oregon, Minnesota. biggest cities Des Moines, Portland and Minneapolis.

So except for Raleigh Durham and Minneapolis, the democrat big city cheating machines have zero opportunities.

Pryor’s opponent is the best political leader in the USA and Pryor will be toast.

Frankly, Tom Cotton should be president one day.

The Republican leadership doesn’t want to win the Senate. It would force them to make tough decisions they don’t have to make now, especially with the nuclear option in place.

Read this folks...and then check back on election night!!! The Republicans will gain at least 8-10 Senate seats....and will gain between twelve and twenty House seats, this coming November, 2014 election day!!!

If Obama continues on the path I think he will....the Democrats will lose even more Senate and House seats!!! In the real world, the only political salvation for the low life, Obamabot, Democrat Party is to force Obama to resign or impeach him!!! This....of course......will never happen....so, November, 2014 is going to be devastation for the Democrat Party across the board!!!

"Tom Cotton should be president one day."

I suspect that he is not unaware of the potential....
