This was a winnable race, I think. The GOP bailed on a woman candidate capable of defeating an Obama butt kisser.

Michigan is still wired by the unions at many levels.
They are in a purple rage over Rick Snyder and are pulling
out all the stops to win elections.

If the Republicans had invested in this race early last Summer, Land could have been in the lead right now. She will be a lot closer than this poll when the vote totals come in, but unfortunately, because thew party and pacs decided not to invest in her, she will lose.

Michigan is so dependent on BIG government for its survival that they have to elect commie DemocRATS.

Registered voters are not a reliable sample—A survey of likely voters is much more accurate.

Having said that, the GOPe strategy of crushing the conservative wing of the base appears to be reaping what was sown.

Myself? I think I’ll be too busy suppressing minority votes on Election Day to show up at the polls.

I still maintain my prediction the GOP will net only 4 seats in the Senate. Miracles will have to happen otherwise.

The is PPP (Democrat poll). The PPP always inflates the poll numbers in favor of the Democrat Candidate. At a point of two weeks (like now) before the Scott Walker “re-call” election, PPP gave Scott’s Democtat opponent a nine point lead over Scott!!! PPP, three days before the re-call election they lovered the race to even to portect their polling reputation. In the actual election, Scott Walker won with hage seven percent vote margin. Bottom line: PPP lies!!!

This is what Boobamba meant when he uttered the chilling words" "I dont think the Democrats will lose the Senate." The scumbag is aiding and abetting voter fraud allover the nation.

<><> Colorado Republican State Senator Ted Harvey told the Washington Times, "they’re getting seven absentees ballots to a household. Children who registered at 18, now 30 years old and living somewhere else, but their voting status is now active, the clerk and recorders are required to send them ballots.....If Mom and Dad wanted to commit felonies, they could vote them.”

<><> In another potential nightmare, "‘ballot harvesting’ ranges from perfectly legal campaigning to pressure tactics to undue influence to intimidation to forgery of ballots and everything in between.

<><>James O’Keefe of Project Veritas videoed Greenpeace’s Christen Topping explains where to glean discarded ballots. A “lower class” building at “Sixth and Belmar Circle” in “ghetto Aurora” is promising, Topping says. “North Aurora is a lot of people who — I hate to, like, put in clichés — but people don’t care.” Meredith Hicks is a director for Work for Progress, a nonprofit laboring to re-elect Senator Mark Udall, D-Colo. Hicks urges O’Keefe to harness these abandoned ballots. “That’s not even, like, lying and stealing,” she says. “If someone throws out a ballot, like, if you want to fill it out, you should do it.”(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...

=================================================

HERE'S A COUPLE WAYS TO STOP THEM IN THEIR
TRACKS---and to let them know you know what's going on.

<><>Iowa’s Joni Ernst filed open records requests this week with at least five Iowa counties, seeking materials that include training manuals, satellite voting locations, names of precinct ballot counters, recount procedures and any communications sent to her competitor, U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley.

Joni's at the mercy of the Michelle Obama campaign visit screw-up---the Democrat can't afford to lose b/c Michelle will be in deep doo-doo. Recent polls show a neck and neck, with Ernst having a slight lead. If the margin of victory is thin or the results uncertain after the Nov. 4 election, a recount may be requested.

A public records request from a political candidate isn’t unusual, but the volume of materials Ernst’s campaign is seeking in five ays right before an election isn’t typical, several auditors said.Iowa Code Section 22 allows public records custodians a “good faith, reasonable delay” in providing records if they’re trying to figure out whether the documents are confidential, but the delay shouldn’t exceed 10 business days.

<><><> The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a letter to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office Oct. 6 seeking election materials that included voting instructions, satellite polling locations, names of ballot counters, recount rules and any materials sent to Braley’s campaign. NRSC general counsel Megan Soward, who signed the Oct. 6 letter, did not return a phone call Wednesday.

The director of elections for the Iowa Secretary of State which oversees voting irregularities..., replied to Soward with links to state election training materials and information about satellite polling locations.

The state had not received any open records requests from Democrat Braley or his sponsors.

==============================================

ITS THE 21st CENTURY--EMPLOY THE DEFINITIVE CRIME-FIGHTING TOOLS ---DNA tests and harvesting of fingerprints on a sampling/percentage of absentees could determine if forgery was committed... even one falsified ballot would expose the felonious MO, and possibly negate the entire absentee vote fraud.

=============================================

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE DUMMYRATS GROUND GAME, AND "GOTV" OPERATIONS--they will do and say anything to win.

CASE IN POINT: In 2002, Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu was forced into a run-off. She was under-funded and labeled the underdog. Her vaunted charm offensive seemed a liability. So she and her Democrat operatives mined every ghetto, housing project, crack house, ho house and Nursing Home in New Orleans for votes.....needless to say, she won by a hair.

===================================================

<><><> TURNOUT IS CRUCIAL---In Democrat nabes and among their core constituency, armies of college students and union activists (carrying i-phones running DNC voter apps), go door to door multiple times in the next 2 weeks, which will give them a 5 or 10 point+, advantage in “turnout." No matter the contrived agit-prop WRT "turned off or uninterested voters, Obama'a low numbers," Democrats will harvest massive numbers of mail-in ballots because the Dummy core no longer needs "motivation" to get to the polls, they just have to answer the doorbell.

<><><> ILLINOIS VOTER ROLLS TEEMING W/ INELIGIBLE OBAM-ENABLED DACA-TYPES North Carolina election officials just discovered 145 names who are ineligible b/c they are illegal immigrants granted Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.....

....the NC State Bd of Elections discovered the illegal voters Tuesday when the DMV ran a search for DACA licenses. The DACA recipients on voting rolls will be sent letters requesting documentation that they are citizens. NC DACA beneficiaries are able to obtain drivers licenses, but are not able to vote.

The Winston-Salem Journal notes that it is likely more ineligible people may still remain on the voting rolls. Nearly 10,000 names on the rolls are tagged by the DMV as "legally present"..... But that doesn’t mean that all 10,000 are ineligible to vote. These were not US citizens when they got a license. They may have been green-card holders, foreign workers or foreign students, for example.

Earlier, election officials did a sample cross-check of 1,600 of the 10,000 “legally present” names against a DHS database and found that 94% were eligible to vote.....that means if the ratio held for the whole 10,000, 600 people would be ineligible...in a state where the Senate election is a dead heat. A DMV spokesman is now cross checking all the names....early voting is set to start Thursday.

<><><> CHECKOUT VAN RENTALS---Dummycrats will be transporting vans full of so-called "voters"---Ebola patients, illegals, minorities, felons, etc. The Dummis pre-register names---then van riders vote the names----on lists provided by Dummies.

<><><> More Jaw-Dropping 'Progressive' Voter Fraud Everywhere You Look...

<><> <>Repub poll watchers should (1) count the people entering the polling place, and, (2) make sure that number matches the number of ballots given out.

<><><> O'Keefe found Udall's people casually advising urging people to commit felonies....urging that discarded ballots be filled out. A vote fraud ruse to get stupid suck-ups to vote twice?

<><> Rush is talking about N.C.----Blacks will show up and raise hell over not being registered. All they have to do is slow down the line until polls close. It wouldn’t have to be a secret......Repubs need to be ready--- any person making a stink should be removed from the voting line and asked to sit in a reserved space....to get their grievances resolved, later....much, much later.

I agree completely. We won’t take the Senate. The idiots round the nation and the world will cheer and market this as a 100% mandate for more Rule of Men and Obama communism.

Times will just be a getting rougher, FRiends. You can count on it.

I still maintain the GOP doesn't want the Senate majority. They'll be happy as clams holding 49 seats.

Don't count on national polls to tell you anything about Michigan. This one will come down to less than 5 points.

Good News for Republicans

They will win by fraud, just as they did in 2012.

Yeah, sure——but that doesn’t mean we have to sit back and accept it.

We have to be ready for a ntl upheaval if Boobamba manages to queer this election.

That's just plain silly.

If the GOP-E want to marginalize the conservatives like Cruz, as conservatives believe, then they would want to have a majority large enough to not require their votes. The GOP-E is desperate to have as large a majority as possible, so they don't need to listen to Cruz.

The belief that Republicans don't want to be in the majority is simply bonkers - being in the majority leads to being able to set the agenda, and that leads to control of re-electability. And getting reelected is really the only thing ANY politician cares about!

Republicans just want the perks of getting that Lobbyist money without having any of the responsibility of actually governing.

The GOP is not going to win because they are not differentiating themselves from their opponents.

This "play it safe" stuff is going to cause them to lose.

Why are the vote-supressing we-don’t-need-no-steenkin-senate trolls so active today? Did some internals come out last night that authorized a heap of new trolling money?
