JUST BREAKING....RED STATE DEMOCRAT RETIRES.
Maybe they were talking about the Kos poll.
Welcome!!
“Maybe - Illinois, Wisconsin
Lucky - NY Gillibrand, Cali, Washington
No Way - NY Schumer, Connecticut, etc”
I think Illinios, Wisconsin, and NY-Gillibrand are going to flip.
Please do not brick or zot me for saying this, but I want the Dems to hold the majority in both the House and Senate but with neutered margins. If your progonstications come true and only two of my three, then we get +9 in the Senate. That leaves it at 50-50 with the Ds still in charge, but they may as well forget about passing anything significant. Heck, a simple gain of +4 in the Senate is about all we need.
In the house, I’d like to see something like a +35 swing for Republicans. Yes, the idiots remain in charge, but, again, this effectively neutralizes Pelosi (I’d like to see her step down WITH the Dems in charge personally ... what a blow to her ego that would be).
In this case, Obama still cannot blame anyone but Bush for his failures. The Ds are “still in charge” in congress. This keeps all fingers pointed at Obama as he has basically made himself in “completely in charge” with these majorities in congress.
If the Republicans take back either the House or Senate, you may as well replace the word “Bush” with either “House” or “Senate”. I wouldn’t be unhappy if we won both, but any scenario where Obama does not have complete control gives Obama a boogeyman to blame in the 2012 elections (people will have forgotten 2009-2011 assuming nothing spectacular happens between now and then).
i am 100% convinced these rats see the writing on the wall when it comes to the economy and they know the depression is coming and dont want to be in office when the sheeple rise up! there is no other explanation for this
Why, I wonder?? (The REAL reason, that is.) One report said that he might be considering a run for the White House. Certainly the dems are not going to put anyone against Hussein in 2012. So he’s retired from the senate to run in 2016??!! BULL.
Giving up congressional seats to potentially conservative replacements is not a liberal stealth tactic.
Question, can Blanche Lincoln be far behind in her announcement or does she show an ounce of decency and go down swinging!!! If she does, I have more respect for her than Bayah.
“Bayh has been warning the dems for months to become more centrist but they’ve paid about as much attention to him as they have to voters.”
And yet he voted for Porkulus, Obamacare and the wise latino?
I'm guessing the RATs run Baron Hill, the alleged Blue Dog from the 8th District. Coats will trounce him
Plus it would mean a pick up of Hill's seat for the GOP as well.
My only concern is that Evan runs for Governor again, and he could very well win it. Bad news for Hoosiers.
Bayh is NOT up by 20 points in any credible poll that I have seen. He was barely beating Hostettler, and was losing to Pence before Pence decided he wasn’t going to run.
I believe this is the first post in this subject today. I think their are nine others as of now and more to follow. Great job initial poster.
You misspelled “Boyz” and “Da”
Ha, ha. One of my favorite movies!
Pinned it. He's getting out before the bloodbath in 2010 so that he doesn't get splattered by it.
BO is going to have some stiff competition in 2012.
Agreed.
excellent and VERY, VERY true cartoon!
If he changes his mind he's still got a week to file I believe.
The filing deadline is this Friday, so the RATS will have to most fast to quality anyone.
We need just a simple majority in the House to literally BAN the Democrats from the floor.
