This means that polls were skewed by 15 points for Dems. Republicans may have closed effectively but that also points to positive future for the Palin ticket.
Don’t know about other seats, but I’m hearing that Steve Chabot is pretty good, and that Jean Schmidt, who always seems to have a tough race, is still clinging to a lead.
What’s amazing is that the public isn’t apparently aware the DEMOCRATS are in control of Congress. A Frist-Hastert Congress didn’t have a 9% approval rating like Reid-Pelosi does. In any event, Boehner, Blunt and McConnell need to go after the elections. We need bombastic and unafraid Conservatives in GOP leadership positions that will hammer away at Reid-Pelosi/Pelosi-Reid at every press conference, public appearance, tv show, commercial, etc., until Mr. & Mrs. Joe Schmoe know “Pelosi-Reid” in their sleep and take it out on the REAL leaders, the Democrats.
