Speaking as someone who lives in Hawaii; I don’t know about Pennsylvania, but I have my doubts about Hawaii.

you are likely right... they are just using Hawaii as a kind of decoy... when the Dems keep Hawaii, they can say, "see, everything is okay... this speaks positively about Obama and his agenda."

stupid beyond comprehension

You've got that right.

My sister went to a liberal university and came out preaching social welfare for the rest of her life. When I asked her why she voted for her notorious Democrat representative, she said: "He does wonderful things for our district."

Be aware the socialists have plans in mind to corrupt the mid term elections and beyond.

Forget amnesty, look where Democrats now stoop for votes!

I’m not as confident in my PA District as this story seems to be.

The 12th District is full of morons that will only vote Democrat. They pay no attention to what’s going on around them - just that their daddy always voted Democrat. Then they get emotional and say “You callin’ my daddy a moron?”

You won’t believe the conversations I have with these types. There is NO convincing them of anything. A RAT could tell them to their face he’ll vote for tax increases and they’ll still vote for him. They still refuse to believe Obama owns GM and Chrysler or that unions don’t do anything but steal their money. And they’ll chant all the way home that Democrats are “for the working man”. All while they are laid off of their union jobs and playing Xbox all day, complaining they can’t find another job...PA is all stocked up on folks like this.

be nice to see the democrats fall ... fail

But it can’t happen because nancy and barack all said everyone will be so happy with their legislations ... /s

maybe people who have actually been keeping up to date with what the socialists have been doing and aren’t afraid to vote about it. That would be great, get rid of these people.

But they would just claim that the vote is a racist way to get them out ...

Ping!!!

There are at least two other currently vacant House seats last held by 'Rats: Robert Wexler's in Florida and Eric Massa's in New York. Anyone know when special elections in those districts will take place?

You are correct. I live in Murtha’s district. Union fools who can't wait to pull the Rat lever every election. The dead vote helps too. Everyone around me is a Democrat. They don't know why.

Trust but Verify. The Dems will purposely float stories that their candidates are in trouble only to have them "come back" and win as a "testament to increasing satisfaction by voters now that healthcare reform has passed."

ASSUME NO DEMOCRATS ARE IN TROUBLE AND WORK LIKE HELL TO DEFEAT THEM!

Last I heard David Paterson, blind Demon-rat corrupt governor of New York, has decided NOT TO HOLD A SPECIAL ELECTION for the people of Massa’s district.

Wonder why the posted article didn’t mention the names of any of the candidates running in those races.

I have a gut feeling that this is all rope-a-dope. If the Republicans don’t win these long shot races, then the storyline will magically become that the Republican surge is over.

and you'll have (House Minority Leader) John Boehner saying, 'The people have spoken again,'" said Kam Kuwata, a Democratic strategist.

...and if it's raining he'll probably say "I'm getting wet."

So what's your point Kam?

If the Dems lose these two special elections, it will foreshadow the wave of change in November...

Yes, in all likelihood.

...and should stop their agenda in Congress this summer while they still have the majority.

Hopefully you are correct on that. However, the Brown Senate win in Massachusetts in January was supposed to stop their momentum, yet they were still able to "pass" ObamaCare.

From 1995 to 1998, Kuwata was a consultant to the Milken Family Foundation (Michael Milken - his 1990 guilty plea to multiple felony charges that he violated US securities laws) working as a governmental relations liaison

He also worked for Diane Feinstein.

In 2008, Kuwata served as the program director for the Obama campaign

The Dems will purposely float stories that their candidates are in trouble...

That would be very unusual for them. They've generally had optimistic prognostications to keep the contributions rolling in to their coffers. Remember how Coakley was supposed to defeat Brown handily in Massachusetts? (At least until about a week before that election.)

“Everyone around me is a Democrat. They don’t know why.”

Same here. Even my conservative mother only switched parties back in 1985. She was a registered Democrat for 15 years...because her parents were Democrats and that’s the way it was.

We have 2 friends that are registered Republicans and easily 20-25 registered Democrats. (And here’s a nasty little secret...naturally us Republicans voted for McCain in 2008 because we were against the Marxist, but all those Democrats I hang around voted for McCain, too...and it was because Obama is half black, which they openly and proudly admit. To quote my one card-carrying Democrat union lib friend, “I would never vote for a black guy.”)

But WE’RE the racists. ;)

“A Republican snatching a Democratic seat would lead to “all the talking heads on Fox News saying, ‘A blow to President Obama in his home state,’ and you’ll have (House Minority Leader) John Boehner saying, ‘The people have spoken again,’” said Kam Kuwata, a Democratic strategist.”

That’s his ‘reputed’ home state to you bozo...;)
