>> was a little worried about VA with the DC contingent <<
You shouldn’t have been worried, at least not after McDonnell carried Fairfax County in the 2009 gubernatorial race. I’ve been of the opinion that VA was in the bag for the GOP ever since.
That’s true.
Polling is coming out of there now showing its not really a worry.
The only question is really how many states will Obama lose.
There is no doubt in my mind at this point, that WI, IN, IA, OH, NC, FL and VA are gone for Obama. PA I feel fairly comfortable will go red, and gut tells me MI will to.
Pelosi, Reid and Obama slammed the door on Blue Dog democrats, there is no such thing left.. and they by and large have realized it. The democratic brand is dead for at least 2 - 3 national elections.
I don’t know what the polls will show throughout the campaign, but I do feel very comfortable that Obama will end election night no higher than the low 40s. Basically there is no such thing as a UNDECIDED voter when an incumbent is running... an undecided voter in an incumbent high profile national race is someone who basically is going to vote against the incumbent and will break nearly 100% for the oponent.
I really think if this goes down like I think its going to, with Obama crushed in the polls and acting more and more desperate and petty with every passing day, you are looking at him ending below 40%, potentially WELL BELOW 40%. 60 seats minimal in the Senate (which I think is possible either way, remember, many dem Senators who voted for the health care law have NOT faced the voters since that vote yet) and many more seat pick ups in the house.
If it goes down liek that, January 2013, first day, better be the proposal and passage of the immediate repeal of the health care act. As well as an executive order suspending every executive order signed by Obama pending review. Firing of ever single CZAR.. immediate investigations into Fast and Furious, etc etc.
I know that won’t happen, but can dream.
I hope you’re right about that. The last time the Dems did not have a hard core lefty running in Virginia and Deeds may have been to the right of BM on guns. But that is encouraging and will spell a loss for Obama.
