GOP has tough road to win House
Politico ^ | 9/21/10 | MARTIN FROST

Posted on 09/21/2010 6:51:10 AM PDT by paudio

For the past month, most of the national press has been uncritically swallowing a steady diet of Republican propaganda: The race for the House is over; the Republicans have already won.

As someone who has been involved in congressional politics for more than 30 years and served as Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman for the 1996 and 1998 cycles, I questioned this. Instead, I took a state-by-state look at the electoral map, particularly after POLITICO published a bipartisan Battleground Poll on Sept. 16 that showed the generic ballot between Republicans and Democrats to be a 43 percent to 43 percent dead heat nationally.

Numbers this morning don’t look good for Christine O’Donnell. She needs to hit on this guys Marxist loyalty. The poll showed that if that if the GOP candidate had won rather than she then he would be far ahead of Coons...go figure. The media bashing of this woman is awful and she needs to bring out the big guns if she is to win. I hope she is up to the task.

I think you are right. Frost claims the Democrats have a 20 point lead in the West, and yet pretty much every poll shows Fiorina and Boxer neck and neck. One of two things hs to be true: the Democrats don’t have a 20 point lead in the West or the independents are breaking hard for Fiorina.

"also bear in mind how many Hillary voters went independent after 2008, they are out for revenge, there is a sizeable chunk of voters that are former Clinton Dems voting republican to take down Obama."

I just don't know if I believe that now....I gave my contribution to the PUMAs and I believe now that I was conned...

I’ve been in small meetings with FORMER Representative Martin Frost. He and Eddie Bernice Johnson are the biggest turd politicians I’ve had dealings with.

While I’m not about to let up on the road to victory, if Martin Frost thinks the Democrats have a good chance of winning, they’re about to take a whopping.

I never did understand how an especially scummy slimeball like Frost got elected in Texas in the first place.
