That was a misleading statement on the part of the person who wrote the article.
If you go to the article about the Virginia race, it says the interviews were with REGISTERED VOTERS who said they were likely to vote in November. I don't believe that is the standard way to qualify someone as a LIKELY VOTER. It takes more than simply asking a person if they are likely to vote. You have to inquire about their behavior. Gallup uses 7 questions as I recall.
If you look on the Real Clear Politics website, the Mason Dixon Virginia poll is classified as a Registered Voter (RV) poll, I assume for this very reason.
We will lose 5 to 7 seats in the House and 2 to 3 seats in the Senate.
and Frist...
I'll tell you one thing I recall with 100% accuracy.
NO pundit, except Morton Kondracke on McLaughlin, called the House takeover in 1994. Many were on the fence for the Senate, but the House was a total shocker to the MSM.
I guess that is to say, if Morto says the GOP is going down, then....
WE SHOULD PANIC!!!!
(just kidding...sort of)
Whether we agree with him or not Mort Kondrake has been right on many predictions, did he say who is going to control the Congress?
did he say who is going to control the Congress?"
I don't know what Morto has said this cycle. Good question, perhaps others can chime in.
Not on the Shamnesty travesty. Just as liberal. But on other issues....such as the Law of Sea Treaty? You can kiss U.S. Sovereignty good bye if the RATs get in now. W has been signalling he wants to sign the damn thing...just have all those pesky conservative GOP Senators still in the way....
Oh, ok -- thanks for telling me that.
11 states have marriage amendments on their ballots...you can bet that will encourage conservatives to get to the polls!
