NYT SPLASH THURSDAY: SENATE IN PLAY; DEM CHANCE FOR CONTROL IMPROVES
Wed Sep 27 2006 18:24:35

NEW YORK TIMES editors have set a Page One Splash on Thursday claiming: Democrats suddenly face a map with new and unexpected opportunities to regain control of the Senate!

"We are leading the paper with it," a newsroom source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

[Skywarner]

Is anyone the least bit surprised that the New York Slimes would lead with such a story?!? What, didn't they have any classified memos or troop movements to leak today?

[Laverne]

Just more free advertising for the dems from their number one supporter the NYSlimes. Not too worry, Slimes is just lieing again...did they rehire Jason Blair?

[aShepard]

Well, NYT, me thinks that you're trying to influence the voters to try to be on the "winning team" !

SCREW YOU!

[mware]

[GOP_Proud]

I just saw it on Drudge. The first thing I noticed was the exclamation point after the headline. They are ecstatic at the possibility. No bias there. uh-uh.

[Enchante]

Wow, what a surprise, the "objective" DBM whores at the NY Times working overtime to improve electoral prospects for the 'Rats. My impression over the past two months is that the Senate is rather less "in play" for a potential majority of Demagogues than at any time in the past year..... so of course with 7 weeks until the election the Slimes must be eager to create an illusion of momentum toward the Demagogues. Same old tired pathetic playbook.........

[jern]

I think the Senate is in more play than the house.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yup. Everybody wants to be with the winners, so the NYT has to give the appearance that the Dems are winning so that their base won't stay home in November.

-PJ

[BallyBill]

Well that does it. I'm so discouraged that I'm staying home on election day. : )

[frankjr]

This is great (and funny), the NYT is getting real nervous.

I wonder if they are looking forward to the NSA leak case?

[Savage Beast]

The jerks at the New York Times have shifted to their manic phase; their delusion's exhibiting more grandeur.

[COUNTrecount]

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

When Dems lose outright and there's no manufactured buzz that they should have won, then it's hard to fake support for playing the voter fraud card.

[Skywarner]

"Everybody wants to be with the winners, so the NYT has to give the appearance that the Dems are winning so that their base won't stay home in November.

The NYT isn't - and won't - be alone in their not-so-private crusade (opps, didn't mean to use that word... I hope didn't offend any muzzies) against anything and everything directly or indirectly linking to the Republicans. The fact that we are at war, and a global war at that, is a moot point in their feabile little liberal minds.

[RobFromGa]

If that headline doesn't scare the crap out of any sane people in this country I don't know what would.

Montana, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia will all see higher conservative turnout if these state elections are nationalized into being about control of the Senate.

Go NYT, shout your biased message from the mountaintops!

[Gay State Conservative]

The Slimes clearly hasn't grasped the importance of Karl Roves latest "black ops" mission....to lower gasoline prices to $1.75/gal by Halloween.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[boomop1]

Hell why do have to win what they already run.

[tennmountainman]

I agree. If power shifts, it will be in the senate.

[KoRn]

Looks more like cheer leading on the premise of assumptions and wishful thinking than a news story.

WW2 NYTimes Headline:

Intelligence Sources Tell Times of Plan To Kill Hitler
War Hero Rommel Said to be Involved

[Soul Seeker]

NEW YORK TIMES editors have set a Page One Splash on Thursday claiming: Democrats suddenly face a map with new and unexpected opportunities to regain control of the Senate!"We are leading the paper with it," a newsroom source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

ROFL!!!

The NYT's is leading a momentum build for Dem prospects, truthful or not, in its paper. I'm shocked! LOL

I'm sorry. I just cracked up when I saw this. And Drudge apparently thinks this is news. I wonder if he sees the humor in it as newsworthy?

Well, at least this is slightly more realistic. The Senate has always been at greater risk. Yes, we've been mad at the President. Mainly about immigration. Yes, we've been mad at the House from time to time. But there is only ONE legislative body, well two but the Judiciary doesn't get a direct vote, that has consumed our ire on multiple seemingly endless fronts. Thanks to those like Senator McCain.

But I still don't believe the Dems are taking a sweep of the seats. Angry? Sure. But they aren't taking Tenn, Virginia, Missouri, I have doubts even about Montana.

[etradervic]

Another example of the leftist media printing a leftist view of the world as they wish it were - and calling it news.

The good news is that since this the NYTwerps are so desperate as to print this, it is almost certain to be the opposite that is true.

They should change their motto to "all the news that fits the left's warped view of the world."

[headstamp]

LOL! Where can I get one of those?

[Sooth2222]

The writers of the New York Times are generally the last sentient beings on the planet to pick up on any sort of a trend -- haven't we of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) been discussing this very issue for months???

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[YdontUleaveLibs]

The only thing the Demonrats face is a wealth of unexpected opportunities to lose.

[Skywarner]

Mad_Tom: Excellent tag line!

[etradervic]

[Uncle Hal]

More wishful thinking by the MSM and their liberal buddies.

SENATE 2006 PREDICTIONS- September 2006 Update

I'll update these during the week, and post a new thread on Sun, Oct 1. Things have gotten worse for DeWine and Burns and Tester, and improved for Santorum, Steele, Kean and Bouchard in my viewpoint.

Here are my views at present:

Likely Democrat
Minnesota(D), Washington(D)

Lean Democrat
Ohio(R), Pennsylvania(R), Michigan(D)

Toss Up
Montana(R), Maryland(D), Rhode Island(r)

Lean Republican
Missouri(R), New Jersey(D), Tennessee(R)

Likely Republican
Virginia(R)

Safe Republican (all R) [8+ 40 Carryover= 48 seats]
Arizona, Nevada, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, Texas, Utah, Wyoming

I see even to -2 as the most likely scenario

[mware]

I don't know where you can get one of those shirts. That is a photo I took at the FReedom Concert this year.

[Fiddlstix]

The New York Slimes have been at again.......

[zbigreddogz]

How do you figure?

The D's would have to beat EVERY vulnerable R and lose NONE of their vulnerable seats.

That's just not gonna happen.

They have some room to spare in the house, they have to shoot the moon to win the Senate.

[RobFromGa]

Montana, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia will all see higher conservative turnout if these state elections are nationalized into being about control of the Senate.

[Grampa Dave]

[noexcuses]

Working at the GOP booth at the local county fair I encountered angry Republicans bad mouthing President Bush and the GOP congress.

My response to them was always "so what you are telling me is that you are going to vote Democrat this election".

The typical response back to me was always "Hell no I've never voted for a democrat and not going to start now!!!"

[RobFromGa]

Tradesports rates it 80-85% likely GOP retains control of Senate.

[Soul Seeker]

Personally, if I had a choice in the matter, I'd choose DeWine and Chafee to be the losses. I do hold a grudge and I want those two to fall.

On the flip side, I'd like a Steele pickup in Maryland and maybe Bouchard pickup as a bonus with retention of Santorum, Talent, Allen and Burns. This is just my personal preference not my prediction of what will happen of course.

[pleikumud]

That T-shirt is too subtle for Democrats to grasp the point.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

That says it all Grampa Dave. They are going to have a real hard time explaining their positions come crunch time.

[jwparkerjr]

My Mom used to accuse me of having "delusions of adequacy!"

[JasonC]

Meanwhile over at Tradesports, Republicans retain control of the senate is at 81 - that is, dem takeover is a 4-1 long shot, retention is 5 to 4.

Money talks and BS walks...

[mystery-ak]

You are seeing a tie or a loss of two seats?....will we maintain control of the Senate?

[elhombrelibre]

This will be their "Dewey beats Truman" headline and will further erode their credibility. The newspaper of Walter Duranty is in deep trouble as it advocates for its Party.

[ReaganRevolution]

Lean Democrat Ohio(R)

Here in Ohio, I'm still thinking DeWine will pull this one out, not by much, but a win nonetheless.

[seasoned traditionalist]

You know what all of this is indicative of? The Dims/Libs/MSM et al. are at this point!!

The Lame Stream Media has been predicting a sweep of both House and Senate.

All of a sudden, as the ol saying goes, "the worm has turned" and the ALL realize that they may have been a bit premature in ordering the celebratory champagne.

The leaking of the NIE and Dims holding hearings on Iraq and now this? I think their internal polls show they are sliding and now its "Panic Time." IMHO, of course.

[Mo1]

Fat chance .. the Libs at the NYT are dreaming

[CFC__VRWC]

The NYT has taken a big role in feeding the "George Allen is a racist" rumor mill in the past couple of days. They must have convinced themselves that the steady stream of Dim activists disguised as old acquaintances of Allen's that they've been serving up is dragging Allen down, so naturally they have to crow about how the Dims will now take the Senate.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Don't worry. Our guys at Diebold will make sure we don't lose the Senate.
