I am sure this will lead all of the news programs tonight.( NOT)

I was just laughing about this on another thread. I'll add a point. This closure can't simply be attributed to a bounce from the London airline plot. It's been a steady trend for the past two months.

The numbers are increasing at Tradesports.com as well for continued GOP control of the House.

[Savage Beast]

In such dangerous times, the American people are not about to entrust national security--or anything else of value--to that bunch of sociopaths and morons known as The Democrat Party.

When we are only behind by two points in the generic congressional poll, we win congress, decisively.

Did Rove send Lamont flowers yet?

Control of the House is crucial for the GOP agenda. The national party apparatus must know this and put as much as they can into winning these races. The country can't afford to have clowns like Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House (arrghhh) and Charles Rangel heading up key committees.

Time for the Dems to roll out another scandal. Where are those hurricanes?

[Waco]

What? The"open borders" RATS is slipping? Shazam Barney!!

[JasonC]

Notice, "registered voters". In "likely voters", Republicans always pick up 2-3%. It is a built in bias.

No one wants to have those maggots to have control of congress, we don't have much, wimpy pubies but better then communist.

[zook]

This oughta make for a good Rush show today.

[goldstategop]

I have a feeling when people start paying attention to politics, the Democrats and the Drive By Media won't see it coming. Right now, they're full of it, feeling their oats and heady about being swept back into power, reclaiming the birthright of the good old days.

( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

[rightinthemiddle]

Very interesting ping.

[SoFloFreeper]

Intelligent, thinking people will not vote Democrat. Hopefully those will be the people going into the voting booths. Otherwise, we're screwed.

This will cause the lame libs to go completely ballistic. The result will be they will lash out with more and more insane and hateful rhetoric. This will serve to cement in the minds of normal Americans the fact the left is far more concerned with the acquisition of power then they are protecting America from the nut jobs who wear their underwear on their heads.

The result of THIS will be a steepening of their tailspin into obscurity.

All dim candidates who voted against keeping our country safe should have non stop commercials saying they don't want to keep the country safe.

Something I think is often overlooked in these polls is that the people who are usually at home to receive the phone call from the pollster (appear to be) tend to be democratic voting blocs (soccer moms, senior citizens, etc), and people who actually have time to sit there and yack with a pollster because they otherwise have nothing productive to do.

The republicans are (mostly) all out at work between 8 am and 7pm.

Therefore, the sample usually contains a greater number of democrats than republicans to begin with, assuming the sample was taken totally at random.

Having such a small gap, however, I would hazard to guess that the 2% deficit is actually a (at least) 4% surplus in favor of republicans, but does not play that way because the sample is heavily weighted towards democratic/ potential democratic voters. That is, there aren't enough republicans at home when the pollster calls, and if they are, they have better things to do than talk to a pollster.

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.
