Just as when the Republican establishment wrote off Scott Brown’s effort to capture “Ted Kennedy’s” seat in the Senate, the Washington Republicans may be under estimating the number of seats the GOP can capture in the House of Representatives.
Over confidence is not a danger. Everybody is working as hard as they can to elect Republicans all over America. Nobody is apathetic on the right. The only indifference and passivity in the nation is on the left. But under confidence – writing off seats that we can win – is a huge obstacle to further progress.
The swath of destruction Obama has cut through our economy, banking system, manufacturing base, and medical profession is so broad and ugly that Republicans and Independents everywhere are determined to end his mandate by electing a Republican Congress in 2010. Seats that Republicans had no chance to win in previous elections are suddenly in play. With scores of Democratic incumbent Congressmen polling at under 50% of the vote, the possibilities for Republican gains are enormous.
But Republican funding and tactical focus is having a hard time keeping pace with the political developments on the ground. Handicappers like Cook Political Report are slow in switching their predictions quickly enough as the Republican wave sweeps through the nation. GOP national committees and PACs run the risk that they will concentrate too much money on races that are already won, leaving opportunities to rot on the vine in other districts.

JUST IMAGINE..What is your dream possbility for this election..What is the best result you can think of on November 3rd (for all over America)? Take just one minute to think of this; Do you have that "mental image"? GO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
We can’t let up!
Morris seems dead on this election cycle. I like his aggressive forward looking plan. I hope his ideas pan out.
Exactly! (Beside it was MA).
“We can’t let up!”

I find myself as of late having no tolernace for those on our side who are already throwing in the towel. Some of the bed wetters on our side were already conceeding victory to the Dems because a poll showed the Dems supposedly closing in on our lead. Good grief folks, grown some stones!
I’m also just a little fed up with Rush. I know he addressed this the other day, but it still bothers me. On one hand he continually says this election is pivitol...we must vote and get conservatives elected, but then throws cold water on it when he says (paraphrased): “even if we win, it will still play into Obama’s hand.” OK, Rush, we want you to speak the truth, but this outlook isn’t going to help voter turnout! He did the same thing on todays show. I tell you, we conservatives are just programmed to believe our lot in life is to lose!
I know, I’m going to catch hell for critizing Rush! ;-)
With leaders like these we can't win for losing. We must remove them all from office. No more professional politicians
I agree with you about Rush. In the past, Rush has always said you can’t win by losing, ie, “if we let them win this time, we’ll REALLY cream them the next election cycle.” I for one don’t think a 80-100 House/12-15 seat Senate swing plays into Obama’s hands. Unlike Clinton, who was politically deft and successfully used the Oklahoma City bombings to cruise to re-election, Obama is politically clueless and incompetent. If we nominate Sarah Palin, she’ll wipe the floor with him....let’s not nominate Mitt “the RINO king” Romney.
I agree with you both, I think this election is just the “tip of the iceburg”.
I know, I’m going to catch hell for critizing Rush!
Even after winning everything in 2012, that will still only be the start of the hard work. We will have to have a leader who really means to cut government spending and that means cutting programs and departments, and we will have to have senators and reps that have the spine to back her up.
Spot on!
I think I know what Rush is saying, but nevertheless, it sounds negative and contradictory. I'm getting fed up with him saying this over and over.
Yes, I understand what you’re saying (and what he explained the other day), but it’s not going to help motivate people. Well, maybe it will help motivate through the fear factor.
He was saying the same thing today, and frankly I just turned my radio off. It’s not that i don’t want to hear the truth, but it does nothing but demoralize me. If people feel that voting in Novemeber and 2012 is not going to have any effect...or a negative effect, they won’t vote.
From what he said the other day, he must have got bombarded with comments about the hopelessness of his coments.
“I find myself as of late having no tolernace for those on our side who are already throwing in the towel. Some of the bed wetters on our side were already conceeding victory to the Dems because a poll showed the Dems supposedly closing in on our lead. Good grief folks, grown some stones!”

Thank you!! I too get so disgusted and fed up with how so many people on our side instantly plunge into a state of despair and hand-wringing every single time they see a poll or news story that supposedly benefits Obama or the Democrats. We have ENORMOUS momentum going into this election and I don’t see ANYTHING that’s going to depress the massive turnout on our side!
Meanwhile, I marvel at how left-wingers never seem to possess a self-defeatist attitude. Visit a message board like the Daily Kos or Democratic Underground (if you can stand subjecting yourself to such sewage) and you’ll notice no matter how horrible the news is for their side, the leftists always seem to keep thinking they’re ultimately going to prevail. Yeah, I know they’re a completely delusional and kooky bunch who live in a parallel universe unlike the real world here on planet earth, but still it’s a striking contrast!
“No more professional politicians”
Term limits solves this. The American people should make it a referendum for 2012.
Just like Flip Wilson used to say, “When we take over, we’re gonna have to get rid of some of us too.”
It doesnt take a brain surgeon to figure out what a Dem POTUS would do (strategy-wise) if Congress goes to the Pubbies, but don’t let that deter your enthusiasm.
As Mark Levin has said, this must be the FIRST election of many where the socialists are kicked to the curb.
I like his aggressive forward looking plans too !!!
Proactive.
repeat, attack!!!
To many on FR are ready to preach 'doom and gloom' no matter what happens.
