My reality check is not a cynical view. I don’t know how hopeful Senator Cruz is, but I don’t think he wastes his effort on pessimism.
Polls don’t lie?
With the architect of the Clinton campaigns involved in a carpetbagger race?
OK
That was a bogus, Boston Globe-commissioned poll.
You are right. I am not sure I fully trust the 2009 models but it will be much closer than 08 or 12. Everyone here is sick and tired of both candidates, so low voter turnout is expected and whoever gets their base out wins.
We have a 3rd party Libertarian (who is as much a Libertarian as Obama) that is complicating matters, but his support is soft and only been measured at 10% at the highest.
Yes, NRA is here on the ground for Cuccinelli-JAckson-Obenshain.
Bloomberg is dumping 1.2 million in ads against Cuccinelli in these closing weeks, this will motivate a good portion of our base but we don’t know if that is enough.
Very good question.
But don't give money to BAMPAC or Santorum's PAC, they are only trying to make money off of him.
Even so...there weren’t too many polls even giving Scott Brown a chance...
I donated to Erika Harold. She is awesome.
VA has always been a close race for gov due to demographic changes of northern VA. So why is C behind by 5 plus points? Remember the last time the GOP assumed all opinion polls were rigged in 2012. How did that turn out??
Closing in on early retirement maybe?
You are forgetting one MAJOR element of the shutdown! NOTHING THE
PUBBIES COULD HAVE DONE TO AVOID IT!!! OBAMA WANTED THIS SHUTDOWN AND THE DAMNED GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN NO MATTER WHAT! Our messaging was terrible ALL DEMS out there saying WE shut the ENTIRE government down NOT TRUE very little of Gov. was shut down!!
Technically Obama shut the gov down. So did Clinton in 1995. Problem is MSM will report that the GOP instigated the shutdown with unwinnable political demands. Maybe 60 years from now dispassionate historians will support your position, but we live in the here and now. MSM blames GOP and most in the public believes them.
