They're blowing it. If you track blogs and the MSM, blogs often run a week or so ahead of MSM themes. Here's what we have.
With the election over two weeks away, the Dems have started squabbling over an election they might not ever get to have.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's prospects for becoming the nation's first female House speaker depend not only on a Democratic victory in November but also on her ability to prevent any Democrats from voting against her -- primarily centrists opposed to her liberal stances.
Is this really the time to be talking up Steny Hoyer as an alternative, given his slavish tendencies?
And another election two years down the road shouldn't be in the headlines right now.
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of White House hopeful John Edwards, says her choices in life have made her happier than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton _ a possible Edwards' rival for the Democratic nomination.
Today, Rep. Harold Ford in Tennessee may well have done himself in as regards the Senate race. Go to the video - it isn't good. And while possibly an outlier, the latest from Zogby has him down by 7, which fits more with the desperation tactics he's using, confronting Corker and coming out for Lieberman, which he didn't need to do unless he isn't making it with moderates and conservatives in TN.
While not D versus R, it could be a portent of things to come as the Lamont campaign is going from hysterics to crashing to the ground 17 points down. Matt Stoller assures the faithful Lieberman's support is soft (eye-roll) ... but Joe isn't the one who needs a cushion right about now.
The investigation headlines aren't going to be Weldon, or Foley, they are going to read NIE. And THAT, my friends, is a national security issue.
Burns and Tester a toss-up? I thought Tester was all but a lock, despite Burns incredible financial advantage coming down the stretch ... which he still holds.
The Supremo's gave the okay to voter ID, for now. I wouldn't want to be a Democrat reacting to that in the public eye two weeks before an election. Bush's North Korea strategy worked two days after the Dems told the country it wouldn't.
Look for BushCo. to make a major announcement of a tactical shift in Iraq which will give marginal doubters at least enough hope to bite their lip and hold their nose when they vote.
And I had to come back and add the fall out from the sexual McCarthyism issue, which might not make it out of the political echo chamber, but is certain to impact across people who follow politics the most. And those people are the people who always vote.
Sherrod Brown has a back tax issue, would be Senate Leader Harry "sand lot" Reid has the land. But there are two weeks to go until the election and the Dems are further away from having a house in Congress than they were last week. The Senate may already have slipped away and I still say Santorum isn't going out without some kind of late major play against Casey - and he is closing, at that.
This isn't the direction the Dems or the media thought things would be going just now. And that is going to make news in the days ahead. Elections always close and it always makes news. The Dems have made the mistake of getting too far out of the gate too early in every recent election and ultimately, they've lost.
This is now showing the early signs of a repeat.
Harry Reid issues seem to have vanished already.
This is kind of a paradox thing ... if we assume they *have* blown it and grow complacent ... then they will win big.
We have to work hard, assume the worst but hope for the best and never never give up. Vote and get everyone you know to vote.
The die is cast.......
Literally in addition to figuratively.
It should read, "The Dems have made the mistake of trying to influence votes with fake poll numbers and premature declarations of victory in every recent election and ultimately, they've lost."
ask her....
What a queer queston..
Define the word 'it'.
The story today about Pelosi lossing support for Speaker is a nice little smoke screen and an effort to remove San Fran Nancy as an issue. Don`t fall for it, she won that fight already
It's been 8 years and I thought the same damn thing...
...ah Clinton...the gift that keeps on giving...

"The story today about Pelosi lossing support for Speaker is a nice little smoke screen and an effort to remove San Fran Nancy as an issue. Don`t fall for it, she won that fight already"
Very wise comment... you have to out think some of this media bias sometimes.
Yeah, that suggests that perhaps the 'a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Pelosi's far-left San Fran values' tactic has been effective.
Hmmm... I never think that way because I hate the RATS and MSM so much. If it was football, and we were winning 87-0 with 8 seconds to play, I'd still call a timeout to kick a field goal.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
But there can't be fraud, a big argument against voter ID is that fraud is small to non existent. I wonder what these same people will say once the Repubs win in November.
I'm not sure they really had it to blow it. I think this pretense of a Rats victory was nothing more the a manufactured MSM pipe dream.
he's busy hiding his ill gotten booty.
bet he has a shredder working full time.
