The Biggest Shock Of The Election: Barney Frank Could Lose
Joe Weisenthal
Oct. 1, 2010, 5:43 AM

If this occurred it would be the biggest shock of the midterm elections.

Republicans are starting to get a little hopeful that they can knock off longtime Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank.

Byron York at the Examiner spotlights his 4th District competitor Sean Bielat, who a new poll has within 10 points, a shockingly narrow number for a no-name against this Congressional stalwart.

Adding to the sense that Frank is in trouble, Bill Clinton actually came and campaigned with Barney this past week, something he presumably wouldn't do in a cakewalk.

If Frank does lose, it will mean the GOP had an amazing election night, ending up with big majorities in both Houses.

I doubt Frank will lose, but the Democrats still have not received the message from the public, much like the RINOs controlling the GOP coffers. Bringing out Bill Clinton, or any other retread, is not going to work, and may actually have the opposite effect.

It's not a partisan election; it's an anti-establishment election. The conservatives figured that out during primary season, and the Dems are still running against the RINOs.

I don’t drink at all (can’t stand the taste of what I’ve tried) and I will be glued to the results. The real question will be what the next day will be like. Will it be good, stunned silence, or civil breakdown by the marxists?

Maybe you should wait until Barney is behind in the polls. Ummmm... maybe I should rephrase that, myself.
