Dems hold onto hope in Arkansas [“Everyone realizes this is our last stand here."]

Is anyone else amused by how many/most/all of the in-trouble Dems strenuously deny having been the deciding vote on Obamacare, while simultaneously insisting that theirs’ is the ONE seat that will determine control of the Senate?

[oblomov]

Actually, their last stands are Alaska and Georgia. They must hold one of the two to hold the Senate.

Isn’t Bill Clinton famous for plugging anything with a skirt, conscientious or not? Freudian slip or just a bad choice of words? :)

I was quoting a headline by a Politico writer. Honest..

[GonzoII]

Ar-kansas is soon to be the land of Cotton...

Excellent observation, tanknetter.

I think they have lost AK, and may get a runoff in GA but will lose that too. The only one even remotely in doubt is NC.

BJ Clinton will be in Fort Smith on Sunday night at Northside High School. And he may or may not be as warmly welcomed as in the past—the NPS removed the nooses from the gallows at the Judge Parker Court House last week. The True Grit Comeback Kid is making a last stand against the protest vote—John Wayne Alamo. After the Omaha Beach 50 year anniversary while aboard the U.S.S. George Washington, a Newsweek magazine article had the Clintons invoking a “John Wayne movies” quote. Barbra Streisand may not be as readily available to kiss him on both cheeks as she did the “Duke” at Oscar time.

we would be winnning there too easily if not for the silly libertarian pulling votes from the Republican

Now though, Pryor has led in only two of more than 20 public polls going back to the beginning of the summer, and Cotton’s lead has reached double digits in some recent public polling. Strategists in both parties say privately that the contest is considerably closer than that, with Democrats believing the race is within the margin of error and Republicans believing Cotton has a larger lead.

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a moon floating in de sky looking like a lily on a lake,
Talk about a bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make
Happy talk, keep talking' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream,How you gonna have a dream come true?

With apologies to Oscar Hammerstein

Libertarians are the Democrats’ best friends. Bill Clinton became president because of Ross Perot.

Beautiful...... "Ar-kansas is soon to be the land of Cotton..."

Course, this is just a suggestion (/snix)....but Pryor would really go out in a blaze of glory if he got all the Democrat "stars" down to an Arkansas rally---

Think of it: Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid....and for duhversity.... Al Sharpton, Luis Gutierrez.

Plus Susan Rice, Jen Psaki, and Marie Harf standing by his side would emphasize Pryor's "expertise" in Democrat foreign policy.

ROTFLMCO.

Besides the Boobamba millstone around their collective necks, here's a few problems loser Democrats created for themselves:

<><> In Montana, Senator John Walsh bowed out after he was exposed as a plagiarist. His replacement: avowed “punktuator” and socialist Amanda Curtis.

<><> In Kentucky, Alison Lundergan Grimes won’t reveal her presidential vote or Obama, the constitutional right to privacy (more like her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination).

<><>In Colorado, Mark Udall’s one-note War on Women strategy is so extreme, the press has dubbed him “Mark Uterus.”

<><> In Louisiana, Mary Landrieu is saddled with charges of dual voter registrations, claiming her parents’ home as her own, while residing in DC, raising questions of residency and whether she votes twice.

<><> But Landrieu stepped on a landmine when she trashed Louisisana voters as "conservatives" implying she had to dupe them into voting for her.

<><> In Arkansas, Mark Pryor couldn’t give an answer when a reporter asked if he approved of the president’s handling of the Ebola crisis.

<><> In Alaska, Mark Begich had to pull a scurrilous attack ad, under duress from outraged voters.

<><> In New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen is outraged by a Washington Free Beacon story revealing her involvement in a business that sold stolen goods.

<><> Big time loser Rep. Bruce Braley of Iowa is in a category all his own. His classless remark dissing Iowa Sen Chuck Grassley as "just a farmer" is resonating: months later, when Braley said his first call as senator would be to the Iowa Republican, the largely farming audience burst into laughter.

I have a charter bus going to NC on the 4th to take a voting tour across the state where no voter ID is required.

For reservations call 1 877 Vote NNC.

English is optional with pole workers, just a series of grunts and gurgles with a beep and a whistle, with a Mexican accent is all that is necessary to be shuffled into the voting booths in NC.

Of course, wearing Hagan buttons is a fast track winner, too.

...old times there are ‘bout to be forgotten...

[randita]

Alaska would be a hold with Begich, but GA would be a take over as the retiring Senator, Chambliss, was a Republican.
