Is this a recent trend? With the news that young middle-eastern men were heading for Montana, could that fact have slapped some sense into complacent Montana voters? Just curious...
What happened to all the gloom and doom? lose the house... loose the senate?
I say repubs pick up 1 net in house and 1 net in senate
But according to this poll, it should give a boost to Burns' election campaign:
"Burns has a big advantage among those concerned about immigration and national security."
I can't wait until the real polls happen on Election Day. I can't believe these stupid polls. Regardless if they are on our side or not. I don't believe any of them.
I guess they are turning on Testercle.
but,
2) I told you so. I told everyone that Burns and Talent and DeWine would all win, that the only real "at risk" seat was Santorum. Unfortunately, I must add Chafee, who is an idiot in addition to being a RINO.
On the positive front, I think we'll pick up MN, and either NJ or WA. If somehow we get all three, and both Santorum and Chafee hold on, there will be suicide in the Dem ranks the day after the election.
He's been running ads. It's going to be a very tough race.
A schadenfreude moment with a visit to DU on election day.
"I can't wait until the real polls happen on Election Day. I can't believe these stupid polls. Regardless if they are on our side or not. I don't believe any of them."
What any individual citizen thinks of polls is pretty irrelevant. Every national polititican and most politicians running for statewide offices hire polling firms to assess where a candidate stands in the run up to the election. Public opinion polling science has become incredibly sophisticated over the last forty years. So much so that in the 2004 Presidential election, of 22 national polling organizations, only 2 fell outside of a three point margin of error in correctly predicting the final outcome of the election and several came within 1 point of the actual final outcome.
When the polls are positive for one's candidates, we love the polls, when they are negative for our boys and girls, we hate the polls. That's human nature.
Some folks only want to know the final score, others enjoy watching the whole game.
Never underestimate the power of incumbency.
....well Burns is right on the issues for sure, but my brother in law has run campaigns in Montana and while he agrees with Burns on the issues, does say that is is somewhat of a jackass....pompous, arrogant and infused with the Abramhoff thing....however...he said he would still vote for him since he does vote 100% Repub....
Not to mention the bonus of Charlie Rangel quitting if the Pubbies hold the House.
The RNC had some great ads about Tester.
"Tester thinks you're rich. He thinks you're a gravy train with biscuit wheels."
I really hope my beloved Montana does not turn blue. I'm more optimistic now. The Montana republicans really need to pull their heads out of their rears though.
agreed.......where are you in MT....my fiancee' who is coming to Calif...or we might live in Reno lives in Helena but grew up and lived in Great Falls all her life...Brothers in Missoula and one develops land where their family owns like 10 million worth up in Flat Head lake....
It's the War on Islamofascism, stupid!
That was not directed at you demlosers. It's a play on Carvile's refrain in 1992, it's the economy, stupid.
The GOP could easily still lose Senate seats. The fact that MONTANTA wants to vote Democrat is EXTREMELY WORRISOME. MONTANA!!!!! A state with five people in it wants to vote Democrat. I don't think we will lose the Senate, but we could end up where we were a couple years ago and have a majority in name only.
Tell that to Lieberman.
BTW, my wife has promised to bake a big cake, draped in creche, when Teddy K dies.
