It wasn’t more than 10 days ago that Nate Silver was predicting doom for democrats. I can’t think of a damn thing that has happened to all at once make the dem schlubs in the Senate more appealing.
This is an obvious tactic by the dem party and the media to depress our side. But, it works, because we end up doing more damage to ourselves by believing them.
If we win, the good conservatives like Cruz, will gain stature and have more ability to influence RINOs. It also gives us more power to try and affect policy.
I don’t know, maybe it is all too late. But losing again will do nothing to create a conservative groundswell, it will just empower the Obama admin. even more.
Like you or someone said, too many RATS jumping out of windows, the pollsters were told to fix up some good news, and I don’t think it’s below Nate Silver to sauce his own data up for the cause.
Frankly, I don't even think it matters. The choice is now essentially between extreme progressive vs. progressive lite. The only difference is that progressive lite prefers to gradually phase in its extreme progressivism. I firmly believe we are at the point where the answer to our country's problems are no longer poliltical but spiritual. Which doesn't bode well. Pray for revival.
Sorry, but I see no evidence supporting conservatives like Cruz gaining stature under the weak-kneed R leadership. Instead, Cruz gets slammed for doing the right thing - such as the budget showdown.
It is seriously screwed up when the party that stabs you in the back then screams at you that you "must" support them. (Not you - but the GOPe)
