When you're an MSMer, you're an MSMer all the way--even when faced with facts that might make you like, well, ridiculous . . .
Mike Allen, appearing on Morning Joe, has declared the NY-23rd race a "real toss-up" despite a new poll from a respected organization showing Doug Hoffman with a 17-point lead.
The claim by Allen, Politico's chief political correspondent's, was so absurd that, on the spot, host Joe Scarborough offered 3:1 odds to Allen and anyone else wanting to place a few kopeks on Dem Bill Owens.

“despite a new poll from a respected organization”
PP is no longer “Respected” because they are not telling Democrats and thier media allies what they want to hear.
Sheesh, get with the program, will ya???

I so hope that poll is solid. A 17% grubbing of the Dem and flushing the RINO will be so sweet. Note to the White House - FAIL.

Allen could be right considering the massive election fraud that will likely be attempted in Owens favor.
To: mad_as_he$$
IMHBDAO,
he’ll have to win by this much in order to make it
impossible for the left to “secretary of state” him
out of his win.

I saw that. Joe was laughing at Allen when offering his bet. Allen was ashen faced and almost speechless.

The dems are going to be wee-wee'd up about this one.

Look people, I hope Hoffman wins as the rest of you do, but we need to keep in mind this is a WAR in the republican Party for it's soul which is going to take some casulties of lost elections.
It appears the electorate is finally starting to realize moderates/rino's are losing causes and do nothing but hurt a strong conservative America agenda.
All I'm saying is prepare yourself for this war which has started, and is going last a while.

The dems are going to be wee-wee'd up about this one. So, what is the reaction from the Whitehouse if the Dems take a beating, which looks like a possibility, on Tuesday?

And will we hear from the media the beating drum, as they played it with Bush, that these elections were a referendum on Obama??

I thought Carl Bernstein’s take on Republicans winning these elections this morning on Morning Joe was every bit as crazy...i.e., in the long term it would be good for democrats. Unbelievable...Joe and Mika looked at him like he was a mental patient.

Looks like it will be called: The 23rd Slam.
A win of biblical proportions.
