November can’t come soon enough. I’ve been working the phones this week. Need to make sure Sink doesn’t win in FL.

Holds solid lead? Builds bigger lead would have been better headline.

Republican Mark Kirk already planning “Ballot Integrity Teams” complete with lawyers, in Chicago, in Traditional Dem voter fraud precincts.


Better have them in NV and WA too.

Even Braveheart can't quite describe the bloodbath that is about to happen.

No, pour on the gas - we need to hit it hard until the polls close on Nov. 2.

"... If the actual vote is anywhere close to the LLV model of 15%, this will be an epic loss that will go down in the annals of history. Obama may be asked to step aside in 2012. He will probably be challenged regardless in the DemonRAT primary - just as Carter was."

It's worth it to investigate the differences in the Democratic party's nomination process between 1980 and now to determine if your point is valid.

Your post is interesting enough to me that I think I'll go do some research and see if there's any parallels which could be drawn between the Dems in 1980 and 2012.

There's no cult of personality emerging around some Teddy Kennedy-like would-be challenger to Obama like Carter's campaign suffered while an inspiring Republican candidate was ascending. In our current day, Obama *was* the cult candidate who reached the White House, and the modern GOP sensation escapes me for the moment...

Read this article and see how the trend is across the competitive races.

Remember that individual district polls are not employing, typically, the kind of screens that a sophisticated polling agency like Gallup or Rasmussen employs.

11- and 17-point margins among likely voters,

What was the difference in 94, like 5%?

I am sure we will take the Senate with this kind of difference.

As we draw closer to election day, you will see more honest polls emerge showing the GOP candidate in a much stronger position.

Correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t the senate races within maybe 5-8 points fall our way if the generic numbers are even close to that.

If we see these kind of numbers from Gallup on Monday, Nov 1st then we will win a massive landslide the following day.

Even a 10 point turnout spread in our favor will mean very large gains.

“I too am looking for or to put together an election night party. You don’t happen to live in Phoenix, AZ? lol”

First celebration will be at 39 seats in the HoR, and the next will be 11 seats in the Senate! Then just let ‘er roll!!

Right now, it’s time to get literature out in my neighborhood up here in purplish Seattle suburbs...;)

These optimistic projections concern me - people have to turn up at the polls first. Could breed complacency.

“Republican Mark Kirk already planning “Ballot Integrity Teams” complete with lawyers, in Chicago, in Traditional Dem voter fraud precincts.”

This is the sort of thing we need to do; be proactive. I am glad to hear it.
