Starting to feel that way. From New Hampshire to Louisiana ...even in Illinois the polls keep improving for the Republicans.

[Vermont Lt]

Wait until tomorrow. Obama is getting ready to screw the pooch.

[Biggirl]

With Obama at 37-38% a WAVE is very, very much likely.

[Qiviut]

I hope it’s a Tsunami.

Republicans hold a two-point lead nationwide on which party registered voters want to see in control of Congress. That lead expands to 10 points in Senate battleground states at 50 to 40 percent in the poll, conducted by Democratic polling firm Hart Research and Republican pollster Public Opinion Strategies. "With 56 days until Election Day, our poll provides greater insight into what is likely to happen, and the news is not good for the Democrats," Democratic pollster Fred Yang writes in an accompanying memo.

Huh? Why I JUST SAW an article from Eugene Robinson of the Wash ComPost declare that there was NO SUCH wave. How could that be? Could he be lying?

[SoFloFreeper]

President Obama is a huge drag on the party...

The party? He is a drag on the NATION.

[Usagi_yo]

Democrats falling back into a man to man defense. Agreeing to debate on a constitutional amendment restricting free speech knowing that it has zero chance of passing was a genius move and leaves Reid stuttering ... Wel .. Wel .. Wel .. Well they wer .. wer .. wer .. weren’t supossed to ag .. ag .. ag .. agree.

[Usagi_yo]

Will it be easier or harder to capture the White house after a big 2014 win ... comments?

[dartuser]

Don’t underestimate the stupidity of running on nothing.

[Repeal The 17th]

In the November 2014 elections,
how will the media explain the Republican Senate gains?

If the Republicans gain 2 or 3 seats in the Senate?
- “this is a complete repudiation of conservative ideas”

If the Republicans gain the majority in the Senate?
- “just normal historical midterm gains, nothing to see here”

If the Republicans gain 8 seats?
- “they are obviously a bunch of racists”

[randita]

It was about this time in 2010 that rumblings began about a possible "wave" election. In the end, it wasn't a just a wave. It was a tsunami - 63 GOP gains in the House.

Analysts are predicting a 4 - 8 GOP gain in the Senate.

Here's the list of close Senate races:

[Mariner]

Looking significant.

In Senate Battleground states GOP favorability leads by 10 points among REGISTERED voters.

That means even Minnesota could be in play. New Hampshire. Oregon?

[Gritty]

I have complete confidence the Gutless Old Party will screw it up. Do we even know what they are running on? Repealing ObamaCare? Reducing the deficit? Cutting the welfare rolls? Stopping the invasion of America and closing the border and deporting the illegal aliens? Destroying ISIS? Restoring our military? Throwing Holder and the IRS in jail? Returning honesty and transparency to government?

*crickets* ... *crickets*

I haven't a clue. Does anybody else?

[RIghtwardHo]

lol. No. As it stands now, Senate polls are tied at 50-50 and that’s without the KS insanity. In fact, the Princeton election Consortium which but for one Senate race, has been perfect since 2008, has the Dims at 85% to KEEP their majority.

Why do I point this out? Because election after election there is always happy talk and we are typically disappointed and wonder why what happened happened and there are no lack of bizarre conspiracy theories.

Facts. All that matters regardless the source. Only then can you make effective decisions.

[Drango]

I can see November from my house.

[Sam Gamgee]

Either:

a) They will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by becoming wishy washy milqeutoast versions of Democrats

b) They complete the filling of the Senate by a bunch of Tea Party hating RINOs who will manage to alienate conservatives so much that 2016 will be a cake walk for the Democrat.

[luvbach1]

Watch for a push to get a mass of illegal aliens registered as Demonrats and taken to the polls. That’s why the Dems have been so implacably against proof of citizenship as a requisite for voting.

[Oatka]

See how it will really work out: Republican Strategy May Prevent Landslide Election

[CPT Clay]

Did anyone notice that MI is even? That came out of nowhere.

[GOPJ]

There's also been a major shift on immigration in the last few months, according to the poll, which helps explain why Republicans have been attacking Senate Democrats for supporting "amnesty" in a number of Senate races.

How much of this has happened because of all the illnesses illegals have brought here?
