Why Republicans Will Take the Senate
Realclearpolitics ^ | August 28, 2014

Posted on 08/28/2014 8:16:57 PM PDT by SMGFan

Netting six Senate seats is a challenge, especially since part of that equation would require Republicans to retain their own competitive seats in places like Georgia and Kentucky. But Republicans believe that the stars, moons, and planets are all aligning for just such a changing tide this November.

Rasmussen poll earlier today showed several of the Senate races narrowing and the D incumbents making slight gains.

McConnell of KY and Roberts of KS are facing serious D challengers this time. Landreau of LA has housing problems similar to Roberts residency problem. Landreau is building a $1+ million mansion — just not in Louisiana.

The GOP may have not get the Senate. It may turn out to be more like 2012 than 2010.

Obama wants to be a martyr. Obama will do something stupid, on purpose, to toss the Senate to the GOP.

Rasmussen’s polling operation was bought by a Soros’ owned co. His polling has gone to hell in a hand-basket ever since.

A lot of conservatives are pissed in Mississippi too- possibly enough to not vote, come November, possibly pissed enough to vote for the rat candidate.

Does this really mean anything if the Republicans that win are Rhinos?

NH has flipped fast for Brown, but this WAVE we were expecting is starting to look weak. I don’t have a lot of faith in the GOP, but if they can not win big in 2014 then 2016 is all but lost along with the courts....

Sorry, Harry Reid will die slumped over his Majority Leader Desk in about ten years.

Then again, anything is possible. That’s how we got a lazy Commie inspired Community Agitator who never did an honest days work in his Life as the POTUS.

Yes, unless of course, they are RINOs. Which still doesn't matter as long as that gives us control of the committees.

And it really doesn't matter if they are able to elect Ted Cruz as President of the Senate.

The GOPe continually shoots itself in the foot. That happens when you are a party by and for political consultants.

Why nothing will change if they do.

We in WV had a GOPe candidate shoved down our throats. The NRSC said they would spare no expense in the primary to defeat any Tea Party or other challengers. That doesn’t sit right with me. Almost like the will of the people in WV means nothing to the GOP.

It doesn’t matter. WV always votes Dem anyway. And it always will if the GOPe continues to play its games.

“The GOPe continually shoots itself in the foot. That happens when you are a party by and for political consultants.”

Excellent observation. It certainly rings true here in New Mexico with Governor Martinez. Regarding the NM senate race, RINO hopeful Allen Weh has an aviation company that is/has contracted to fly the illegals around the country. For him, becoming a senator is all about the money and connections, all about HIM.

Massive amounts of union money, voter fraud, the illegal vote, and the press (which is an arm of the DemocRAT party) will allow the RATS to keep the Senate.
