the election is right around the corner and if they are not more in line with the actual election - they will lose their credibility.

At this point in the game, the preceding statement is tantamount to a pimp claiming that his working girls are set to lose their chastity after the trick. Just sayin'.

The DUmbasses in the lame-stream, has-been, drive-by dinosaur DNC media have to cover Saddam's sentencing today and tomorrow.

He's already been sentenced to DEATH, any further trials are moot and we are again reminded of why our troops are in Iraq - depose Saddam (or REGIME CHANGE as it was referred to when Clinton adopted it as policy, but did nothing more than lip service). DUmocrats wanted the election to be about Iraq, and so it is.

1. Jean-Fraud Kerry infers that soldiers in Iraq are dumb.

2. Soldiers respond

3. NYT admits Saddam had nuke program.

4. Families of fallen visit Iraq (no quagmire)

5. Saddam sentenced (death by hanging)

News cycle seems to be working for GOP advantage thus far. DUmocrats yesterday counter with "Rusmsfeld must resign" and "recruiters caugh lying" stories. Wow. That's new....NOT!

In addition to Saddam sentencing, Fox will be running OBSESSION - THE MOVIE, and we get to see the face of the enemy again. Yesterday, Fox is also showed "waterboarding" (Steve Harrigan, a Fox reporter volunteered to show how it is done).

DUmocrats come out of hiding, but have NOTHING to give anyone a reason to trust them with power. They've even invited BJ and Al to speak for them - kiss of death.

I don't know what Monday brings, but I've got a good idea about the day after.

Well .. if you go back and check what the pollsters were saying before the 2000-2002-2004 elections and how the numbers took a big jump toward the repubs right at the last moment .. even people like Rasmussen made some big changes - and he ended up being the closest to the true number.

However, he went way off the scale and joined with CBS and others in saying the Pres was at 39% or lower in job approval. But .. within a couple of months, he jumped out ahead of the others and began showing the Pres with more reasonable numbers - I'd call that CYA. And it proved to me that the dems were totally skewing their polls (16% to be exact) in order to get the numbers they wanted - not the true numbers.

It reminds people what Democrats really represent.

Yep, the perfect Freudian slip.

Well, if polls are to be believed, then I am keeping my Republican Governor her in Alabama, Governor Riley. Also, my local congressman, Mike Rogers appears to be in the drivers seat also. So are several other republicans. Of course, the city and county elections are a farce as only dims live in the inter-city of Anniston and that is the majority of the county voting block for a lot of offices. Thankfully REAL AMERICANS, and not the tax loving, homosexual loving, abortion supporting, communist-socialist democrats are not totally in power. I love the Alabama campaign commercials that say: Lucy Baxley (for Governor) IS TOO LIBERAL FOR ALABAMA!!!! We recently moved back home from Sodom on the Sound (Seattle) and you would NEVER have seen that type of commercial there, NOT even by a republican!

[CheyennePress]

Those were my sentiments exactly. I see no relation whatsoever to Kerry's comments and keeping Donald Rumsfeld. They're not at all comparable.

"These differences have narrowed considerably. About half of Democratic voters (51%) say they are more enthusiastic than usual about voting, little change from Pew's two previous surveys. By contrast, 42% of Republicans say they are more enthusiastic about voting;

Statement assumes "enthusiasm" is the key. I'm less enthusiastic but MORE committed.

[Aeronaut]

Ah...em, vote early.

I did. Yesterday.

[denlittle]

I got out my walker, trudged to the early voting location, and voted a straight Pubbie ticket. I might have voted for a RINO or two but not one DIM LIBBIE will again grace my ballot, ever.

Get out and VOTE!

Prior to election: 5% Dem lead in 1994 and 6% Dem lead in 2006. 1994 was 54-seat swing from Dem to GOP. I'd say things in 2006 aren't looking too bad.

I'm no professional pollster, but I know enough about their methods (including their admitted inability to ever devise a polling system that doesn't oversample for Democrats every single time), and I do know about the GOP's GOTV/Voter Vault system. At this point, I see a RAT takeover of the Senate as an absolute impossibility, with an outside possibility we might actually gain a seat. As for the House, I don't see us with a net gain, but I also can't see any way for them to win anywhere near enough seats to take over. I think we may end up down 9 at the very worst.

[pgkdan]

bump for later read.

[chalkfarmer]

They called me twice last week. First question: Are you a registered voter? Second question: How likely are you to vote on Nov. 7? After that question, they thanked me for my time!

I got out my walker, trudged to the early voting location, and voted a straight Pubbie ticket. I might have voted for a RINO or two but not one DIM LIBBIE will again grace my ballot, ever.

Ditto. I'm so angry at the RATS that I refused to vote for a single one. When I got to the truly meaningless local races (you know, Town Parks Department and Animal Control and stuff like that), there were a couple of contests where the top three candidates win and there were only three candidates, all Dems, so they're guaranteed to win as long as they vote for themselves. I wouldn't even give them a vote; I skipped over that section and went to the next page.

[Right in Wisconsin]

so true - they still can't say War in Iraq, I mean, as to the "situation in Iraq".

[nopardons]

And it was SO predictable!

But I think that come Wednesday, a lot more people will realize that polls are phony and not to be trusted.

[Recovering_Democrat]

VOTE, PRAY, WORK, PRAY!

[Right Angler]

I always skip the unopposed Dem races. I will NOT vote for those traitorous vermin, even for dog catcher.

[frankjr]

U DA MAN!!!!!

Well w/in the Margin of Bias! A Red Tide is Approaching!

Pray for W and The Election
