But then it would be an impure, illegitimate wave, according to the SAVE HARRY REID club.
I’ve heard this enthusiasm before. If the GOP thinks it is going to cause a ripple, it will do something to prevent it. Forget about a wave.

Interesting. Mr. Barone mentions nothing about voter fraud. Personally, I’m more concerned about voter fraud than I am about personalities.
He who counts the votes has ultimate power.
“Early in the 2010 cycle, Barack Obama told an Arkansas House Democrat that he needn’t worry about voters because “you’ve got me.” Today all four Arkansas House seats are held by Republicans.”
Better put some ice on that, Dimwits.
Midterm elections are not the same as presidential elections. The electorate in midterm elections tends to be much smaller than in presidential elections. The electorate also tends to somewhat older, whiter, more disciplined, and more conservative, therefore much more Republican. Not good news for the Dems.
Further, even more worrisome from the Dems are historical trends and voting patterns. Midterm elections almost always favor the party out of power. This is even more pronounced in the sixth year of an incumbent administration. Consider the following:
In 1958, the 6th year of the Eisenhower Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.
In 1966, the 6th year of the JKF-LBJ Administrations, the GOP scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.
In 1974, the 6th year of the Nixon-Ford Administrations, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.
In 1986, the 6th year of the RR Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.
In 1998, the 6th year of the Clinton Administration, the GOP did not do so well, but that is because they already scored huge gains in the 1994 midterm election and managed to hold on to them throughout the remainder of the Clinton Administration.
In 2006, the 6th year of the GWB Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.
Polls fluctuate back and forth which each passing day, but historical patterns remain relatively constant. Why should this year be any different? Further, Dems are hampered by the fact that they must defend so many US Senate seats in red states carried by McCain and MR where BHO’s poll ratings are even lower than the national average. No wonder the Dems are crapping bricks this year.
And McConnell “declared war” on conservatives.
IMHO, that right there should be enough to guarantee his loss.
On which day did US Military Commander in Chief B. Hussein Obama effectively stop defending the United States of America?
A. The day after Osama Bin Laden was killed.
B. The day after B. Hussein retreated from Iraq.
C. The day after B. Hussein retreated from his Syrian “Redline” Strategy.
D. The day after B. Hussein admitted that he had no strategy toward the Islamic State.
E. Other (no profanity please).
However far it goes; we can be sure of one thing. The GOPe will find a way to screw it up.
Check out the polls and predictions for Ohio.
I think I will save my Comments on this until the day after the Election.
My lack of Faith in the Electorate will not allow me to be caught up in the hope that people are bright enough to realize what a disaster the Democrat Party is.
Remember, THEY LIVE, and we’re the only ones wearing the Sunglasses.
I hope so too, but I wouldn't be surprised to see GOP-e Peanuts try to kick Democrat Lucy's football for the umpteenth time.
Some Republicans can only remember the defeats.
