Interesting: NBC News Political Unit has ALL House races shifting to right
Radio Vice Online ^ | Oct. 29, 2010 | Steve McGough

With the last update from the NBC Political Unit prior to election day, every change analysts have made concerning House of Representatives elections have shifted in favor of the Republican. This in no way means Republicans are favored in the race, but is a clear indication of momentum for Republicans.

More here, but here is the current House breakdown...

HOUSE RATINGS CHANGES TX-17 TOSS UP TO LEAN R TN-8 TOSS UP TO LEAN R NV-3 TOSS UP TO LEAN R WI-8 TOSS UP TO LEAN R NJ-3 LEAN D TO TOSS UP MO-4 LEAN D TO TOSS UP IA-3 LEAN D TO TOSS UP NM-1 LEAN D TO TOSS UP TN-4 LEAN D TO TOSS UP NY-20 LEAN D TO TOSS UP MA-10 LEAN D TO TOSS UP OH-6 LEAN D TO TOSS UP AZ-7 LEAN D TO TOSS UP MS-4 PROBABLE D TO TOSS UP GA-12 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D IA-1 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D ME-1 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D MI-15 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D RI-1 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D MA-4 PROBABLE D TO LEAN D

Monday night MSNBC will probably announce that every House and Senate seat is projected to go Republican, even the Senate seats not up this year.

That way, Chrissy can throw his hands up and laugh and say “What happened?” on Tuesday. “Where was the big Republican win?”

And Keith Olberman can drone on for forty minutes about how the fascists have been driven back.

Surely hope TX-17 is right, which would mean that Chet Edwards, Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Texan, would be retired at last.

The Poll results could be very entertaining or depressing depending on the outcome.

Let's hope it's the DummyRATS that are depressed.

NBC must be wrong. The libdems have been screaming that this is an anti-incumbent election not a repudiation of the radical left.

As many others have noted, NBC can afford to skew the polls Left up until a few days before the polls open. By then they have to move the predictions closer to reality so that they don’t get completely destroyed when their polls wind up off by 15 points.

By that time it is hoped the damage has already been done.

Conservatives never take a pass on going to the polls. Leftists, traditionally have.

Unlike most years races aren't tightening so much as Republican momentum is intensifying.

Never one’s to believe in the fundamental decency of Americans (even a lot of regular folk democrats), they’re overplaying their hand with ugly attacks.

They think they’re witty and smart, but the average Joe sees them as disgusting.

Precisely!

They’re just late to the party and could only keep up the D rouse for so long. Most of those movements have been made by others a long, long time ago.

Denial is no longer a river that runs through Fort Lee (or wherever those losers broadcast from now).

Exactly. Build up false expectations. The Republicans will win every single seat. Then if they don’t, it’s a big repudiation.

HOW TO SPEND A RELAXING EVENING ON NOV 2

FReeper Drango drinking game
Whenever an announcer, reporter or pundit says:

Tsunami = drink
Historical = drink
Catastrophic = drink
“Barney Frank is in trouble” = drink
“Speaker Boehner” = drink
“Pelosi resigns” = drink
“100 seats” = chug
“NPR defunded” = chug
“Monica Lewinsky” = bonus drink and blast from the past
(”Landslide” does not count as it will be said all night long)

FReeper Doulos1 Drinking Game
Whenever an announcer, reporter or pundit says:

gridlock = 2 drinks
racial overtones = 2 drinks
uneducated voters = 2 drinks
overreaction = 2 drinks
corporations bought the election = 2 drinks
The Obamas decide to stay in India = drink till you blackout.

FReeper Liz Drinking Game
Whenever an announcer, reporter or pundit says:

Illinois went Republican-—chug
Obama has no comment—chug
Michele’s campaigning dragged Dems to defeat—chug
(spy-cam) glassine envelopes slipped through WH back door—chug
Baghdad Bob Gibbs says loss is no big deal—throw glass at TV screen

I don't believe this is a case of building up false expectations.
I've observed in the past. It seems like the Media use these Polls to motivate their leftist allies, and to demotivate/discourage conservatives. As a consequence - their Polls can be pretty fictional -- right until the weekend before the election. At that point they need to tact towards reality - in order to maintain some degree of credibility after the election is completed. When people rate the Pollsters they only compare the election results to the last Poll - they don't compare it to the Polls in August, September, or early October. So the Media plays their propaganda games right up to the end - but their last Poll is intended to be accurate (they still can miss depending on turnout).
