After looking at the news for the past 10 days or so, I have to wonder how Democrats can possibly fail in their efforts to take both the House and the Senate.
The national atmospherics don’t merely favor Democrats; they set the stage for a blowout of cosmic proportions next month.
No, that’s not a prediction, since Republicans still have a month to “localize” enough races to hold onto one or both chambers of Congress. But you don’t have to be Teddy White or V.O. Key to know that the GOP is now flirting with disaster.

I think it's bs too.
always is...
Not seeing Murtha's poll numbers in the MSM means he is trailing.
Contrary to liberal-think, many conservatives would just rather not know what anyone is doing in their bedroom. I sure don't want to hear about it on the nightly news.
I think the coverage of a Congressman targeting House Pages for homosexual sex is very newsworthy. I'd like to know if my representatives aretrying to turn teen employees into their private harem.
Yeah....this is one of those times when I'm celebrating all the DEMwits watching the stupid TV PROGRAMS on cable....instead of the stupid nightly news....
" I keep hearing about these depressed, won't bother to vote, not excited, republican voter, but have yet to meet one. "
Well, it definitely got me off my butt and filling out registration forms for myself and my husband. We just moved and I almost forgot to register. I know I would not have thought about it in time if the Dems didn't do this.
"Just like a Republican! Brings a knife to a gun fight.!"
Yeah, sure, that could happen.
Santorum is toast.
All the shouting down of folks who wanted some action on illegal immigration and reduction of government doesn't look like such a great idea now, does it?
The worst the Republicans have to offer is better then the best Democrat.
My problem is that I'm stuck in a Blue county and the Republicans don't run candidates below the State level. We have to pick through the Demos at the local and county level to find the least objectionable.

I hope so.
One thing I've noticed...all gloom and doomers are afraid to make a hard and fast prediction. Even Rothenberg back pedals with a cowardly CYA, "this is not a prediction".
Washington Post's John Harris, and ABC's Mark Halperin had nothing good to offer for republican chances in Nov, but John Harris reminded CNN viewers that (because of Karl Rove he intimated), republicans always perform better than the polls predicted. He didn't know if that history would repeat itself this time, but it sure reminded me how Kerry (and the MSM), got surprised by believing the polls.
Bill Kristol said basically the same thing this morning, and I concur. It's a component of the pre-election buzz the MSM and democrats will not add to their hopeful equation. I haven't heard any of them mention "broken-glass", I haven't heard them mention the possibility Democrats' cockiness will give democrat voters the "why vote, we've won already" attitude and keep them home. All we're hearing right now is the bad news, gleefully delivered by the lefts' in-house cheerleaders.
Ping me when you post Rothenberg's screw-ups in 02,04. I want to see them.
In the meantime, finally, an article that does mention other possibilities:

Polls indicate that the scandal, triggered by the publication of sexually explicit messages that former Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley sent to ex-pages, hasn't created a voter backlash against Republicans nationally.
A Pew Research Center poll this week said the war in Iraq remained the central issue in voters' minds heading into the Nov. 7 elections. "The Foley story has not significantly affected the midterm race," director Andrew Kohut said.

I can't even believe FoxNews continues to buy into polls...that's just the DC beltway crapola...they don't have a clue about middle America. No one's paying attention to this seedy crap being put out by the dimwits. They've already made up their minds and it ain't putting this so called power back in the hands of a whole bunch of evildoers.
...necro-Americans & multi-Americans...
lol!
