Nate Silver Predicts GOP Holding 50-51 Senate Seats After 2014 Election

I agree. Who cares? The GOP is proving to be even more deceptive than the Dems in some ways. Rubio, Ryan, and Boehnor don’t even have the guts to shoot straight. At least the Dems are direct in their destructive plans.

“How did this guy do last election predicting the results?”

Nate Silver did a great job predicting the results. At least he doesn’t use liberal New Math despite working for the Old Gray Whore :-).

There was a Freeper (forget his name) that did a similar analysis and arrived at almost the same results as Silver (I think they were only a bit off in NC).

50 or 51 seats? Big deal.

In order to have any kind of assurance that the GOP would prevail on any given piece of legislation, it would require 65 or more seats.

Remember how they were bamboozled into “sharing” power when they were in the ‘majority’ by one seat?

And consider the number of RINOs already in the Senate, ready to play kissy-face with the DEMs on the other side of the aisle.

The GOP senators are too stupid, and lack the resolve to be able to handle being the majority party.

He was fed internal polling data from the obama campaign.

C’mon, Harry. Kill the filibuster. Then we can repeal Obamacare with 51 votes.

New York Times polling guru Nate Silver predicted Monday that Republicans will hold 50 to 51 seats in the upper chamber after all ballots are counted in the 2014 Congressional mid-term elections.

And after all ballots are counted twice, three times or as many times as necessary, Democrats will hold 52 seats.

Need 60 without RINOs

One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v.

51 with Senate Rule changes put in by RATS works just fine.
