No pinches yet!
We’ll get some bumps until the debates.
I think we just might come out really ahead now, but when McCain/hussein and Palin/biden are up? It’ll be a huge bump again.
I hate to say I told people so.
Americans are smart as a group. People are coming home to the party that best represents them.
We won’t win back the house this time around. Many races did not field good candidates. You can’t count on the generic poll.
(Scroll to the bottom).
And yes, that predates her GOP convention speech.
Cheers!
Come Novemeber, there will be a lot of RAT one-term wonders who only got elected because the GOP base was pissed in 06.
Let’s not count our chickens before they hatch.
We have to play like we’re ten points down with two minutes left.
We have to give 110% and leave it all out there on the field.
We’re in the final stretch. This is where our experience and skill will pay off.
This thing is a long way from over. We have to maintain our concentration.
Ohplease-ohplease-ohplease-ohplease!!! Let there be Republican coat-tails!
We now return to your regularly scheduled haranguing!
Finishing strong is the key to victory!
The enemy hasn’t gone away, you know!
(etc.)
We don’t even have competitive candidates in a lot of districts though because many top Republicans chose not to run due to the bad political climate.
This poll may be a bit optimistic though as we all know. Hopefully its not too far off the mark and Republicans only lose a few seats less in the Senate. The house is too far gone, but keeping a strong minority to filibuster is key to the future of America.
I’m predicting Dole cruises to victory in North Carolina and Mary Landrieu gets knocked out.
Coleman will likely be helped out by McCain’s coattails and Franken’s weirdness.
Sununu will be one to watch. Recent polling numbers put him within one. Given McCain’s special connection to New Hampshire, I think he will have a fighting chance in New Hampshire. I’m not sure how Palin plays to New hampshire. She is a fiery libertarian in most aspects which fits well with the state but she is also socially conservative which does not.
And if Stevens still ends up winning Alaska despite his indictments, wowsers, Palin clearly was a game-changer.
Amazing what running as a strong conservative and not a RINO can do...
Under the demonRATs, the Congress has fallen to a 9% approval rating. They have done nothing but bitch and try to impeach Bush. They want to raise taxea and are licking their lips at an Obama presidency which would be the worst blow to our freedoms we could imagine.
If we don’t hit them HARD this November, then shame on us! A bad republican is far and away better than ANY demonRAT in the field.
Logistically, this is nearly impossible. Our recruitments, especially on the Senate side, are subpar, some don’t even HAVE a Republican challenger for seats we held 6 years ago (Arkansas). Most have a fraction of the $$ the Dems have.
Amazing how wrong the media is when they “tell” you the news instead or reporting the news.
Just 2 months ago the MSM had Obama President for 8 years followed by Hillary for the next 8 and Congress in total control of the Democrat party for that whole period of time. You were told that not as a possibilty but as a for gone conclusion by the MSM.
Now in that short 2 months since thye were doing that, we come to today. When the chances that Obama will ever be Presiodent are getting slimmer and slimmer and now the lock on Congress that the Dems had is even getting challenged.
The once mighty MSM has become little more then a not so good PR firm for the Dems.
"Oh crap."
I saw the polls closing. It is time to give even more to our candidates and make this election national success not just a Presidential one. We have an opportunity like not since 1994.
Please let this be true, I’d love to see Pelousi demoted.
Took Gallup long enough. It was obvious by their earlier poll that this is not an anti-GOP year. It’s an anti-incumbent year. And there are a lot of vulnerable Dem freshmen.
The Palin Effect.
When you’r up you are up and when you’r down you are down.But, when you are up for to long the market sets you down, and then you are down and then the other guys are up.
