Ann Coulter just on Cavuto being interviewed.
She wanted to "remind the viewers" that the normal election cycle is for the party in the White House to lose seats. She expects this election to be one where Republicans lose seats. She added "a lot of seats" before Neil moved on to another question.

Maybe so. Nevertheless, they are a voting bloc to be reckoned with, every bit as much as the commie liberal pinko socialist arm of the Democrat party.
I am asking you this in all seriousness.
Have you asked him what he hopes to accomplish by not voting?
It might help if folks on FR stopped calling them Marxist DU trolls every time they showed up on the board with doubts...
LOL!! Don Quixote defending his Dulcinea, yet again.
So did Rove
No. Other than being in the audience when she took questions and answers after a brief speech back in 2004. I remember her sanctimonious attitude that we (in the audience) just needed to accept that mid-term elections favor the party out of the WH.
She really annoyed me--which is why I remember this. And now she's just dusting yesterday's wisdom to drum up more controversy. When it comes to local politics, Coulter knows squat.
They were both wrong then, and she's wrong now.
It happens.
Are you kidding? The base better hightail it back into the fold fast. Do you want the last two years of Bush's presidency taken up with impeachment hearings? I promise you it could happen. With the dodo's in the Senate, he just might end up like Richard Nixon. In the meantime, who is going to fix the problems in the country. The house stood firm against the immigration amnesty plan. The Senate was willing to pass it. If we lose the House, expect a guest worker plan, an impeached president, problems funding the war on terrror etc.
Should I post some links to sites that prove the WTC was brought down by George Bush?
Web site claims don't make it so.
But, enough. You ask where for where you bashed, and I provided it.
I'm not in the mood for tar babies.
Besides, you're busy, remember.
"No. Other than being in the audience when she took questions and answers after a brief speech back in 2004. I remember her sanctimonious attitude that we (in the audience) just needed to accept that mid-term elections favor the party out of the WH."
In case you haven't noticed, Einstein, the 2004 elections were not mid-term elections.
Forgive me if I don't believe you. LOL
Citing past political history is a thin reed to hang a prediction for this election on. 2002 was a midterm too and the GOP by all political history should have lost seats in that one but gained. Every election is different and has its own dynamics, and that's especially true post 9-11.
The special elections in Ohio CD-2 last year and the California CD-50 this year that Dems. sunk enormous resources in to win yet the GOP prevailed proves this is likely to be a status quo election. The GOP will lose a few seats but maintain control.
There are no signs of an impending political earthquake like preceeded 1994 and the GOP win. The GOP won two Democratic held seats in special elections preceeding the 1994 landslide that presaged a big shake up to come. We've seen nothing like that this time augering a big Democratic gain in November. I predict a Democratic net pick up of 7 seats in the House and a net gain for them of 1-2 seats in the Senate. And if races in Washington and Minnesota go against them, then the GOP will hold to 55 or even gain one.
And last of all, gerrymandering has made it nearly impossible for the GOP to lose "a lot of seats."
Regardless, DO NOT GET COMPLACENT! Get out and vote in November and work for GOP candidates as if the party were on the verge of losing "a lot of seats."
Cool! I feel better now. Thanks Right_in_Virginia.
Thanks for the link. I'm still not sure this isn't part of "we need money" campaign. I don't how many times I've received GOP calls warning me of the dreaded Hillary Clinton if I don't contribute money. I certainly dislike Hillary, but I also know we have market gurus pushing too. If this isn't a "money campaign" then I think we're setting expectations low of the GOP so they can claim some kind of victory if they don't lose that many seats.
yes, but the one problem has been - the administration is invisible on the gasoline price issue, they don't even try to do anything. and its going to be very hard to turn public opinion on iraq by november.
that said, my own prediction is Rs -3 in the Senate, -10 in the House.
Hell, if we believed the polls from this time two years ago, the we'd be saying President Kerry, Vice-President Edwards, and Speaker Pelosi.
I believe he did.
I'd double that prediction.
but that period of time is not the critical span to determine the voting pattern.
And, being at war, a very dangerous two years. Dems will wear the country down if they're in power...
"The real question is:
Will it make any difference in what comes out of DC?"
Not a lick of difference.
Seems one party sets up something and the other carries it through. They are so much involved with protecting one another it's not funny. In the meantime, the rest of America gets the bill AND the shaft.
