Which race this November will produce a shocking upset?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 09/08/2014 1:09:01 PM PDT by ken5050

A bunch of just released polls in Senate races show that the GOP is likely to have a very good Election Day. The wave is starting to form...and usually, if it is a wave..there's one or more real surprises..somebody totally unexpected loses..I thought it'd be interesting to see what y'all think might be the upset special(s) on Election Day.

If it’s going to be a “shocking” upset, it will be one where we won’t like the outcome.

Some combination of Democrat fraud and effete snob Conservative indifference (plenty of them here, for sure) will get a Democrat or two elected that shouldn’t be.

So here goes: because of effete snob Conservative indifference, the Democrats hold the Senate, even if it’s 50-50.

Maybe that’s not so much of a shock.

It didn’t get much press but good old al got his ass handed to him in north Minneapolis when he said he had to go to the state fair.

I think only city pages reported it and talk radio picked it up.

Sadly the same people complaining about him will still vote for him. But I have hope.

Brought a smile to my face, and immediately the answer to my head ...............................Gina Lollobrigida.

Too true, too true.

So, let’s hope for an upset big enough that there’s no possibility of a trunk full of “lost” convicted felon ballots to save Franken’s re-election hopes.

A Ncibbekk kiss wukk be a bet loss for the Democrats because a Democrat replacement for McC won’t have the seniority or the experience that McC has.

Sorry for the keyboard malfunction. I find it is difficult to type with my toes.

I will never forget Pat Caddell’s words on the Hannity show the night before the 2012 election. “We have now reached the margin of corruption.” The margin of corruption is a very large margin.
Another Caddell quote I will never forget. “Sean, you don't know what you're up against.”
The only consolation to me is knowing that whatever way this goes, America will get EXACTLY what it deserves. And that includes those of us who like to rant about how bad Obama et al are and can't get off our fat asses to do something about it. Such people disgust me even more than the socialists because they know better.

I don't know about individual races, but the House will pick up seats and HI and CA will lose Dems.

It will be an interesting Nov. 5th.

They were counting on Feinstein's "Torture Memo" giving momentum to the Dems. Now that's not happening. Instead, Obama's recent pivot to war will depress turnout on the far left.

They have open enrollment in Obamacare starting soon as well. If I was a Dem I would not be feeling very well.

Truth be told, I’m surprised he finished out his term, much less is running again. He at least SEEMS to be severely ADD. So much of the work of a Senator requires them sitting quietly and at least seem to pay attention, I didn’t think he could do it.

I think Cuomo is a corrupt S.O.B but he’s never losing here in NY.

I think Begich(the POS)in Alaska will be pushed into another term by more shenanigans of federal investigations of his opponent. Maybe even indictments, like happened last time to elect this son of a corrupt politician. The outlandish extremes the far left is already reaching for in his ad's suggest they will have to call in markers. The good thing is they are so inept they always leave big footprints.

All I will add is that there is DEFINITELY a lot more discontent/worry out there than either the press or polls indicate

People hate to admit how dumb they were to re-elect Obama or be ‘racist’, but only true zealots can’t see that this a failed presidency that could care less about what we the people think -one that continues to harbor a radical agenda- and is DESPERATELY in need of some additional constraint- flipping the Senate ought to help keep this nutty regime under control
