This could really be the beginning of a happy year!

It looks like there is a perfect Rovian storm brewing!

; )

Dodd may drop out and make room for a democrat that can win.

[o_zarkman44]

I think congress has acknowledged the threat to their power base. Although they merrily prance along gayly proclaiming that they are loved and adored by their bribed constituents.

Shock time is coming. The storm is gathering strength. The rebuke of Marxism will be decisive.

“COOK: His problem is being a Democrat. His problem is being Chris Dodd.”

Dodd is a POS.

Independence. Stress your independence. I look at each issue one at a time. I‘d do what‘s right for the state. I‘m independent. Yes, I vote with my party when I think they‘re right. I‘m against them when they‘re wrong. Be able to list—
That's why Ben loser Nelson CAN NOT win again in this state..that has been his mantra - but obviously he didn't mean it at all... If I were "Coachings the repubs I would use Nelson's vote against any dem who says he/she/it is an independant..have Nebraska voters in the commercial saying Ya thats what Ben told us too.....

COOK: I would not be surprised to see no Republican incumbent, House or Senate, lose.

I surely hope so, but if that does happen, it won't be due to the efforts of the Republican Party. People are SO pist off at the way things are going, a lot of Independent and Democratic voters will throw the SOBs out in anger. The RINOs will say "See, we can win by pulling our same old "big tent" and "reach across the aisle" B/S. We don't need to change." And thus they will blow any chances for further inroads in 2012, and maybe even lose a few they gained in 2010. I don't see any winds of change coming over these people and they will continue to blow election after election.

McCain OUT any Non RINO Republican IN!~

Let's look at last year's race in Virginia. There are three real interesting things that occurred that went under or not reported. First, the statewide Republican candidates (Gov., Lt. Gov., and AG) won by very large margins. Secondly and more important, the statewide Republican candidates are not RINOs IMHO. It is the most conservative statewide ticket I have ever seen in the Commonwealth. I believe the the Attorney General will demonstrate some amazing principles.

Thirdly and most important is the incumbent story - but in the House of Delegates. In Virginia, there is an election at some level every year. The 100 members of the House of Delegates are elected for two year terms. In the last ten years, ten incumbents have lost House of Delegate seats. In last year's election, nine lost which shows a change. Eight incumbent Democrats lost and one Republican lost. The one Republican incumbent that lost, Phil Hamilton, was and is under federal investigation. I trust what last November's election in Virginia shows is that conservatives that are principled will win in the future this year - and in coming years.

It would be great if Chris Matthews finds himself fired in 2010...that would be really sweet. His ratings along with Larry King’s are absolutely dismal and there is no excuse for either of them to maintain a daily show. It’s all about sending out a marxist/neo-communist message...they don’t even care who says it.

[Huck]

Senate Majority leader does seem to be a shaky position. If I were a senator interested in staying in the Senate, I wouldn’t want that gig. Maybe they take that job when they’re ready to cash out. Get all the bribes you can, while you can, and prepare to lose.

[bwc2221]

There’s one thing that can mess up our plans - AMNESTY.

[NavVet]

One one of the Leftwing morning shows they were describing it as an “Anti Incumbent” mood. They wish.

[nwrep]

Yes but, the key question is how many Dems will lose? Will it be enough to change the balance of power in the House and the Senate? Right now, it looks like the answer to both of those questions is No.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Anh Cao will probably lose, so the headline isn’t quite as likely as one might hope.

[Zman]

All of this is well and good; it would be a great day for the republic if more conservative Members of Congress are elected to the majority.

The real problem will be whether or not the current batch of miscreants lock the nation into a debt tailspin from which we are unable to recover.........

[jpsb]

Too bad, I was hoping to see every incumbent lose, D and R every damn one of them. Clean the House, throw them all out.

[FastCoyote]

Reid will be in huge trouble by election time. Mannnny scandals coming out. A little bird told me.

[Red Boots]

I think Colorado‘s a real challenge, too, because Bennet is operating, to some extent, as the shadow of the governor, Bill Ritter, who has a very uneven first term, some successes, a lot of disappointments. He could face a very—and Obama‘s approval there was dropping before the Fall.

Colorado has been devastated under the Dems Ritter, Salazar and Bennet: unemployment is higher than the national average, they decimated the booming natural gas industry, and the coal counties, which have long been Dem strongholds, know what's going to happen if cap and tax goes through.

The Hispanic vote has been crushed because of massive construction layoffs. There is NO building, so they are not coming back.

Ritter's administration has been rocked by scandal, and basically everybody's sick of them.

You already see bumperstickers: Obama and Ritter: No thanks, You can keep the change and, Welcome to Taxarado. State representatives, who can smell the winds of change, are already switching parties.

Prediction: they're toast.
