Elected Democrats, suffering from plummeting approval ratings in polls and rowdy town hall meetings over healthcare in recent weeks, may endure double-digit House seat losses in 2010. Republicans might not win the 40 slots needed to give them a majority, but they could come close.

Wait till they start to push through some of their totalitarian measures on the people and watch those numbers double or triple.
Even if Pubs don’t get into the majority since people (including me) are sick of most elected officials, it may be Libertarian’s turn for an uptick. That may force RINOs to act more like Republicans in order to get anything done.
Bye,Bye,Olde Blue Dogs!
If the Pubbies fail to take the House in 2010 I fear for what will happen in America.....
Did they poll the dead? In Chicago that’s an important demographic group because they vote 100% Democratic ticket.
The TITANIC is sinking and we have a lifeboat side seat. The problem is that WE ARE IN THE %)&^($*^&( LIFEBOAT instead of on shore.
Do not worry the RINOS will rescue the Democrats. Dole and Ridge are just the start of undermining the Conservatives.
Then they will be paying the same price that the commies will pay......one way or the other.
>>>> Republicans might not win the 40 slots needed to give them a majority <<<<<
One word:
Amnesty.
I am holding out for triple digit loses for the libs :)
>>>> We still have this health care fiasco to deal with along with crap and tax. Another issue that will be huge come next year will be the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. <<<<<
Agreed with your list above.
Also, Zer0 promised about three weeks ago in Mexico that Amnesty legislation for our illegal alien peasants is now being written on Capitol Hill, and that the only people preventing “a pathway to citizenship” are “the demagogues.” (literal quote)
He promised unleash his Amnesty assault on the American people some time in 2010, no doubt with the complicity of scumballs like Pansy Graham and McQueeg.
There is no doubt in my mind that the current “health care reform” is 100 percent about getting those 25 million++ illegal alien peasants on to the public dole, and to **steal** the health care of American citizen taxpayers in order to “spread the wealth around” to them, whether they are illegals or Z Visa recipients or whatever.
These 25 million++ illegals are a HUGE drain on America’s very generous social services networks, and someone has to pay their bills.
A Look Back: The framers originally believed over 50% of Congressional seats would turn over every election. That was the experience at the time with state legislative bodies. Early on, turnover was as high as 50%, but steadily declined until turnover went into single digits in the 1920’s and has stayed there since.
Editorial: A consequence of gerrymandering and the two party system controlling campaign money, IMO. Thoughts?
In 1994, we had the largest turnover of legislative seats since the Civil War. Due in part to large Republican turnout, but also due to amazingly low Democrat turnout. Total turnout was something like 15%. I believe it was also the only time in history a Speaker of the House lost re-election.
I think we will see the same thing in 2010. Die hard lefties will stay home because they will be disappointed that Obama has not been made dictator yet. The right and middle are going to pour out in droves to stop the socialist advance. Doubt we see a repeat of the Speaker going down, but I believe we will see the Senate Majority Leader defeated.
“Did they poll the dead?”
That, and using ACORN for the census, and other Kennedy-like sleeze will give them permanent rule should we allow it.
Of course, that’ll be the tipping point.
Things most definitely will happen.
Mr. Steele did a commercian on CNBC pushing a senior bill of rights.
1. You had no image whatsoever he was a republican.
2. he sounded like a fake used car salesman.
3. he looked like a contract with america wanabe gingrich.
4. he came across as weak and might easily be taken for a democrat.
poor imagry, poor message, and failure to motivate.
Mr. Steele a stupid leader for a stupid party.
with absentee balloting and nursing home ballot fraud, democrats will never let that happen again.
this healthcare debate makes it clear, democrats have no fear about this next election.
the MSM is on their side.
fraud is on their side,
the districts are rigged.
Wait there’s more!
We want to increase American families energy bill by several thousand dollars a year and create yet more profits for Goldman Sachs with crap and trade shoved down your throats.
This forecast will lead to complacency among conservatives and resolve among Democrats, which is probably the point. We don’t want either. I’d rather the Democrats think they have it in the bag and continue to push their far left agenda.
