It would be interesting to check out RealClear and see if they have similar maps over the last few months. I'd be interested in seeing if Barone's assessment--which i agree with--that the UK plot has tilted things toward the R's is correct. If true, it looks awfully grim for the Dems. All they can say is that the Republicans win elections through fear, but in a world this scary, I'd turn it around and say Democrats just don't get it--we DO have a lot to fear, their Neville Chamberlainism notwithstanding.
But safe Dem?!? ROTFLMAO!!!! There are going to be some stunned "political pundits" as we get closer to Election Day. But I'm not complaining. The longer Diana Irey is under the radar, raising $$$$ and collecting almost one thousand volunteers, the better!
If you've been considering supporting Mrs. Irey and/or Boot Murtha, but wondering if Murtha could really lose - TRUST ME! :-) Take the plunge!
Poor NY...a "safe" Democrat state that will re-elect Hillary. Come on, NY conservatives, get out there and vote against her! I definitely will.

It is pretty laughable. The NY Slimes seems to be a lot more confident than Murtha and his campaign staff that they've got a lock on it.
I think Diana Irey has them scared spitless, why else would they be beating the bushes for Dem support. Dems holding office are avoiding him so Murtha brings in has beens like Cleland.
More and more people are supporting Diana Irey because those people know what's best for the 12th District of PA, our country and our troops.

And has-beens like former Speaker of the House Jim Wright.
There is a tab for the House Races map
I can tell you that even Charles Cook, the cook report has the 20th as "lean" republican. I suspect that they simply don't undertand these races and with limited staff are making educated guesses but will be proven way wrong.
I think these pundits are either inept or fraudulent.
Or Democrats. Oh, wait, you already said "inept or fraudulent".
I noticed that too! I was disappointed with that.
Unless one party has 60 votes to break cloture votes in the Senate, federal politics tends to stay in the center. The chance of either party having a veto proof Senate is nil.
I keep replying to you but I want my prediction to be loud and clear: +1 R in the Senate (I count RI as a wash whether Chafee or the D wins).
Good point.
So they're lying to themselves now........won't be long, kids. We might actually see the 'Rat Party come apart in our lifetimes, split up into a new, more conservative-to-centrist pro-labor party and a big factionette, a nearly-a-party (like George Wallace's AIP), of really Red lesbo-Marxist ankle-biters.
The Party is fractious, it's the far left anti-american deaniacs vs. the big government liberals fighting for control.
Fred Barnes on Beltway Boys said McGavick down 5% in WA is R best chance for a pick up. We could win in WA, if we can get them to just count the votes once.
Do Irey supporters also support Santorum?
Remember that election season is like the Christmas shoppiing season for media. They will hype the horserace to the end to maximize their take for political ads.
I can't speak for Irey supporters as far as Santorum goes. I live in Washington state and support Diana Irey because of her conservative stance on many things and my intense dislike of Murtha and his fake support of our military.
In 96 the rats and the media said they were going to take back the Congress. They repeated the lie in 98,00,02, and 04.
