Cook: Odds Of GOP Senate Near Zero After Delaware

IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 9/17/2010 | Sean Higgins

They’ll get judges to keep the polls open longer. It won’t help.

[Froggie]

Precisely !!!!

[noiseman]

I already sent $50, and will probably add some more soon. It just feels so good rubbing the self-proclaimed experts noses in it.

Who the hell cares if we win the Senate? We need 3-4 Conservatives to overcome Snowe, Collins, Brown and Lugar. That's all. Do that plus the House and the obama agenda comes to an end. There is nothing to be gained by control except CHAIRMANSHIPS, which is what Rove, Trent Lott and others want because those mean MONEY and EARMARKS for their buddies. No thanks, not worth it. Better also to be in the minority in one house to avoid Obama blaming the "do-nothing Congress". He can't do that with Leader Durbin or Schumer.

As far as Delaware, who cares if o'Donnell wins. Conservative have already won by ditching Castle. Coons opposes ObamaCare repeal. Castle opposes ObamaCare repeal. Coons supports cap 'n tax. Castle support cap 'n tax. There is no difference.

[Prokopton]

Classic. Don't be accountable, shoot the messenger.

Rove is not a "messenger". He has been actively campaigning against O'Donnell from the start.

[MNJohnnie]

They would rather lose the Senate,in order to maintain control of the party.(this is a gain in their eyes)

That only works if they had sat down and shut up. Now that they documented as actively out there working to sabotage O'Donnell there is no crawling back after the election. They have tied the noose around their neck with those after the election attacks, by continuing the attacks now they are busy sawing off the tree limb they are standing on.

[alstewartfan]

If *I* was Coons, I’d use these guys in my advertisment sound bites. So, yes, what they said and how they said it will contribute to dampened support. Let me ask, why would Rove support a weasel like Castle, a slimy fraud who won’t endorse the people’s choice? Bob

[Tanniker Smith]

Near zero? Because the "non-conservatives" will stay home?

Seriously, maybe the minority leader doesn't want to majority leader after all, which is fine. I'd rather he weren't if he doesn't have the fire (or the balls) to go get it.

The path to the majority is through Delaware. Will the GOP leadership take that road, or the low road.

And what makes them think that O'Donnell's voters aren't coming out again or that any of Castle's voters will vote Democratic.

[Uncle Miltie]

Odds of Republicans being conservative: Massively Increased.

Just say “NO!” to RINO!

[bert]

I tend to believe the professional experts including Carl and Charles even though I hope for change.

When Michael Barone weighs in, I’ll believe what he says.

[prairiebreeze]

I’m much more interested to read what Michael Barone says.

[henkster]

If we have the House, we don’t need no stinkin’ filibuster.

[domenad]

I am reminded of Bruce Willis' character Butch in Pulp Fiction.

"That's how you're gonna beat 'em, Butch. They keep underestimating you."

[redgolum]

The primaries didn’t go as planned, so the plebs will be punished.

As I have said, the GOP views the Tea Party and conservatives as a much great threat than the DNC>

[imjimbo]

Funny how RINOs squeal when RINOs get dumped-! Let ‘em SQUEAL- its even more fun when they do-!

[4rcane]

good point

[tbpiper]

“Crow” is likely to become an endangered species in November.

[CPT Clay]

In this era, with 4g phones, blackberries,internet, blogs,twitter and facebook. Who cares what the liberal media says or doesnt say?

I’m looking forward to watching MSNBC and CNN perhaps even nbcabccbs on election night!!

[CPT Clay]

Lets not put too fine of point on this. If Republicans pick up 10 seats, Obama will not get anything in the way of judges out of the judiciary committee.

[MNJohnnie]

I think you overestimate the backbone of the current crop of GOP senators.

Lindsey Graham for one will vote with the Dems on any judge nomination.

We need more senate seats, both Dem and Rino, then the 50+ 1 WE MAY get in this election cycle to block Obama Judges
