Minimum acceptable gain at this point: functional control of the House (a bit beyond 218 to account for a few RINOs); say 225 seats or +47.
Next goal: gain 53 seats to exceed 1994 R gains (231 R seats)
Getting wild: +77 R seats, which would flip the House from 255-178 D to 255-178 R. That would be a beautiful thing to see in one election cycle, and a brutal "refudiation" of Obamacare and the rest of the totalitarian nonsense.

Lieberman is the closest thing to a Republican the Dems have. Whoops, had. And he's no conservative.He became an Independent so no Dem switches are likely.

So will we have to say: were it not for massive vote fraud it would have been a Republican/conservative landslide?

The Left and their media toadies are creating a new meme for a GOP House victory of 55 or less...only 55, that is so 1994 and we all know how that worked out.

How is a poll going to be “breaking news”?
Maybe tomorrow night they can report actual results without making themselves look stupid.

50-44, and proportioning the undecideds gives a gain of 79.
Rasmussen 51-39 proportion undecideds gives a gain of 93.
Gallup 55-40 proportion undecideds gives a gain of 100.

I’m still going with my 52 card pick - up theory..... 52 (equals ‘94) + my 15% add during the last 10 days as I watched Obama cry, beg and dupe young children. Making for a 59.8 seat gain. I will add 5% for the combonation thinking of no major voter fraud and or a real true historic moment. making for a net gain of 62 to 63 !!! Me like!

Wow, GOP is suddenly down to 6% advantage. In 24 hours!

I dont know if there is still such a thing as conservative Democrats
Nancy Pelosi won the Democrat majority in 2006 by recruiting dozens of "conservative" Democrats. Many of them are political opportunists who voted for things like Obamacare and Cap N Tax when it was politically expedient for them to do so. Many of them were also the first to be cut loose by the Dems when they started circling the wagons.
Some of them could probably be turned from DINO's into RINO's, though you could never trust them to switch back when the political winds blow the other way. Example: Arlen Specter.

Good riddance! It will save conservatives the aggravation of having to beat them in the Republican primaries.

Help Tennessee oust a obama clone:
PLEASE CALL IN AND ASK QUESTIONS! Pound home Its the People Seat, not a dem owned seat. Talking points, we know all them, ask them as questions. Hammer the healthcare bill..Cohen is running on his STATE record. Voted for Stimulus, TARP, Bailouts, health care. Never met a tax hike he didn’t vote for, including a state income tax. US 9th District TN.
Steve Cohen has already closed his HQ!

Agreed... the MSM and the Democrats have no idea of the intensity of people’s anger and of the mood in the country. I think Reuters, Silver and the rest of them are living in denial. Its going to be much bigger than any one thinks. That’s only thing I can safely say I’m sure of is going to happen tonight.
