The Ney seat is apparently safe... our preferred candidate will make the ballot.
The distinction between RVs and LVs can be as high as 7% favorable swing toward the GOP, not just 2-3 points as indicated above.
If we are within 2 points on the generic ballot now, we will hold the House comfortably in November. As to "oversampling Republicans," this has never happened in polling history.
You have a great point. And let's not forget about the pheonom of folks just no longer having "land lines", only cell phones!! We have one land line in our home, but only for the purpose of our computer. Even with high-speed connection you need a land line, but we never answer it, everyone who calls that number has to be a tele-marketer.
...no, they'll scream that the attack was planned and executed by Rove and company - to affect the outcome of the election...
*big smile*
My.my. Why dost thou protest so?
I read ALL the way through your first post to the END where you also said: "I can't prove any of this. I'm not a statistician. I just feel it in my "gut". Feel free to flame me, if you wish."
I just took you at your word...which I guess you didn't mean.
but your second post seems to run with the same thread - a resentment of women who are 'stay-at-home' moms. You seem lump them all into
"welfare queens...attachment to the government teat."
and you seem to have a seething resentment that you, as a
"40 year old man" " who's breaking his a** working 70 hour weeks so that his parent's generation can rob him blind in their old age). "
Further, you state:
"other than the two groups we've discussed and the welfare queens, who else would you assume is at home to answer a load of fool poll questions during daylight hours? "
Well, If you had read my answer to you - or to quote you:
or did you get all red in the face that you stopped reading before you got there? .........."
I gave you the other examples of mothers who CHOOSE to be full time moms to their children - and why. Did you not understand or did you get all red in the face that you stopped reading before you got there?
Post script: You needn't get all het up and feel you need to respond again. I'm not interested in the opinion of one so deeply opinionated. I responded merely for other readers who may not have read your first post and not know where I was coming from...Have a good life - altho', given your lifelong companion, that might prove difficult...
No kidding. I think the drive-by media would choke to death if they contemplated these numbers.
I think Lieberman's primary defeat has a lot to do with this. As a party, you can't nominate someone to be Vice President, and then two years later fire him without exposing yourself to be insane.
We need to give these numbers greater exposure, b/c the MSM is deliberately burying this information to depress GOP turnout and optimism.
Wishing is the liberal equivalent of prayer. LOL!
Lament has helped the Republicans more than anyone since Dan Rather.
Great news! This is indication that on election night, we won't need as much booze as we thought we would.
I don't think we will really have to worry about turnout. I have a feeling that there will be at least one more big attack before the election. The jihadists just can't "hep it."
But but!!! But... the Democrats are supposed to win the House and Senate back!!! What the!!! :) Uh huh. Quiet, everyone hear that? That's the sound of the rubber meeting the road. Reality cometh. Get the champaign ready. :)
I've never been particularly worried about the upcoming elections. We go through this every cycle.
Six years later
Excellent point. This wont appear in any msm, you can count on it.
You may be correct. Lieberman-Lamont will be seen in the mirror as the turning point in our 2006 fortunes. By dumping Lieberman, the RATS may have thrown away their best shot at recapturing either or both chambers.
For the record, Lieberman was the VP candidate 6 years ago, not two years ago as you stated.
I just saw gas for $2.59, that's got to help a lot.
These numbers were put out by USA Today.
Indeed. The MSM has an institutional bias against either party that is in power. That said and far beyond this threshold, they hate Republicans on an ideological basis.
I have always believed that if the RATS experienced for a week what Republicans suffer 24/7/365 from the MSM, they would all have a nervous breakdown. There is simply no comparison of the skepticism, disdain, bias, and outright hatred inflicted upon GOP candidates.
Sure, but have you seen these numbers picked up by the networks or other major newspapers? They are being buried.
