The New York Times’ headline today, “GOP is poised to seize the House, if not the Senate,” says it all, just 10 days ahead of the November 2nd mid-terms. America’s most powerful newspaper, and standard bearer of the liberal elites that have run the United States in the Obama era, for the first time appears to be accepting the likelihood of defeat and acknowledging the scale of the conservative revolution sweeping America.
The Times is now talking of a Washington “on the brink of a substantial shift in the balance of power”, a momentous change driven by a “highly energized grass-roots conservative movement.” As the Grey Lady of US journalism puts it:
President Obama campaigned for a fourth consecutive day on Saturday as the Democratic Party threw its full weight into preventing a defeat of historic proportions in an election shaped by a sour economy, intense debate over the White House’s far-reaching domestic agenda and the rise of a highly energized grass-roots conservative movement…This latest assessment from The New York Times is strikingly different to its analysis exactly three weeks ago when it bullishly declared that “enough contests remain in flux that both parties head into the final four weeks of the campaign with the ability to change the dynamic before Election Day.” In the defiant words of The Times on October 2:A wave of anxiety swept across Democrats, regardless of seniority, geographic region or whether they voted for Mr. Obama’s agenda on the hot-button issues of health care, economic stimulus or climate change legislation.
Republicans carry substantial advantages as they move into the final month of the fall campaign, but the resilience of vulnerable Democrats is complicating Republican efforts to lock down enough seats to capture the House and take control

And this is just the beginning. “We have not yet begun to fight”. The libs are about to see the biggest can of whoopass they’ve ever seen.
Yes! That’s great, buuuttt... we must always keep our dander up, and keep on pushing, retain that drive, that force, that hutzpah to get us to the finish line! We must not back down, we must not relax! I worry about feints in this “game,” and the libs are good at it.
“President Obama campaigned for a fourth consecutive day on Saturday as the Democratic Party threw its full weight into preventing a defeat of historic proportions in an election shaped by a sour economy, intense debate over the White House’s far-reaching domestic agenda and the rise of a highly energized grass-roots conservative movement…”
Pigs fly! The elites finally get it —— we’re no longer astro-turf.
Agreed. We cannot get complacent until Harry is back in Searchlight for good.
The Gray Lady is trying to convince conservatives that it’s in the bag so there’s no need to actually vote. Don’t fall for it! Get out there and vote on election day!!! Then they’ll see what grass roots is all about!
It’s just too bad that Obama doesn’t really give a rip about the midterm outcome. He’s campaigning because it’s easier than governing & because he’s got to make a “showing” for the party. However, he doesn’t care about the party - any party. He doesn’t care about who controls congress. He doesn’t care about anything except advancing his agenda.
It’s a teanami coming!
The New York Times' headline today, "GOP is poised to seize the House, if not the Senate," says it allIndeed it does -- it shows that the Slimes is a liberal shill sheet, and that this fact is known in the UK as well as here. Thanks Schnucki.
I agree 100% !
Yeah right. We all read the NYT. The Gray Lady is trying to energize the liberals to get out and vote.
Since I already voted, can I gloat early? /s
And vote conservative, not necessarily Republican.
The “Grey Lady” is not a lady. She is a Wh@re.
This is a good sign, but we can’t afford to be overconfident.
I’m really looking forward to the libs becoming unhinged. It has already started due to the many articles like this one. However, everyone needs to be careful because there are many unstable leftists out there. When their world crumbles, some will lash out.
