"Ahead? We will make them lose. Again. The fools."

I'd suspect many of you have been reading these "did the GOP peak too early?" analyses. I find that I don't have that much to say about the issue. It's all sort of speculative, it's all based on polls. I can read them as well as the next person, and several of them (even Rasmussen) show the GOP lead diminishing. But who really knows.

What GOP? Does he mean the Tea Party?
"Ahead? We will make them lose. Again. The fools."
Lazy journalist.
Why look at how each race is shaping up when you can look at a generic ballot poll and draw conclusions that way!
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Polls always tighten as the election day approaches.
The key will be who actually shows up to vote.
This isn’t going to be a political party race.
This is going to be Americans for liberty against the comminists.
“(even Rasmussen) show the GOP lead diminishing.”
While I do not see us falling, I was totally shocked when I looked at Rasmussen today and saw Obambie at only -11.
How on earth can he do anything but continue down in any poll?
oopsies comminists=communists
Oh noes. Might have peaked too soon.
The truth is, we have 28 days to go, the voters who are just waking up will make the difference between gains and a tsunami, and we have no idea about how they will break.
Wanting to fire the Democrats may not be enough to restore the Republicans that the people just got done firing in 2006-2008. The Republican campaign, so far, has been “a pudding which lacks a theme”, to quote Winston Churchill.
There’s a reason for this, of course: The GOP leaders are not agreed among themselves about the critique of the regime, about how much radicalism to allow or to support, and what misguided and unconstitutional actions of the Federal government they would use majority control to repeal or frustrate.
Since the GOP leadership does not know the answers to these questions, it is left to individual candidates to make the case, or not.
In the two NH congressional races, I have no clue whatsoever whether electing either Frank Guinta (NH-1) or Charlie Bass (NH-2) will accomplish anything worth doing (except pissing off Pelosi and “Obama”).
That is worth doing, of course, so I will vote for the (R) candidates for House and Senate on 11/2/10.
I’m afraid, though, that a tsunami would require much more clarity than we have seen so far from the RNC, the respective House and Senate campaign chairs, or from Boehner and McConnell.
But, we have 28 days to go, something good may happen yet.
My understanding is there are far more Republicans who have requested absentee ballots this year than in years past.
They want control
we want freedom
the two are incompatible.
If this isn’t settled at the ballot box in favor of freedom,
there will be less pleasant ways that it will be righted.
Peak Schmeak! October is the month where millions of employees choose their benefits for the next year. Insurance premium increases will be seen by everybody, and they will not be happy. Novemeber is going to be much worse for dems than they think.
i have kids in college in NY and TX and they both have requested and received their absentee ballots to vote here in VA. Just requesting the absentee ballot had their campus mailboxes flooded with campaign literature from both sides.
That is good, but I also think it is a matter of convenience. Why go stand in line on election day
when you can vote early from home? (Many states have made
this easier do the last few elections.)
Arrrr!
Peaked? I wouldn’t assume they have peaked. Yesterday Obama came out talking about flex hours. Does he think blue collar workers get flex hours like the office staff? Not very often. My daughter likes working at Chili’s because they work with her so she can get to college classes but it didn’t take the federal gov’t to do that. People without jobs aren’t going to be real impressed with a flex hours program speech. Obama is soooo outta touch.
