CT goes Republican??? Love to see it, but I’ll believe it when I see pigs fly. Of course, Scott Brown did win an open seat in MA last time........
Wow... puttin the smack down on her opponent.
“Would Spock have to wear a goatee in that universe?”
“Mirror Mirror,” one of my favorite Original Series episodes. Some one please post the photo of Spock in the goatee. Oh heck, forget that. How about Uhura in the “two piece” uniform? A much better image...
I think a lot of voters are thinking just that, but aren't saying it out loud yet.
A hopeful sign.
Also have to consider that many voters will vote for McMahon because they are WWE fans. I hope she wins it would take a huge load off of the whole MO Senate race
God BLESS this lady!!!!!
the GOP may get an unexpected pickup to make up for the now-expected loss in Missouri.”
Maybe, maybe not.....I’d love to see Akin put it to the Dem.
The discussion of numbers is too esoteric for many. Ehe visceral issue of a Death Panel is far more effective politically.
Madison - Rolling on from last week’s primary victory, Republican Tommy Thompson leads Democrat Tammy Baldwin in the U.S. Senate race, two new polls show.
A poll by Marquette University Law School found the former governor leading the U.S. representative from Madison by 50%-41%. That lead for the former longtime governor and former federal Health and Human Services secretary was just larger than the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.2% percentage points.
The telephone poll was conducted on August 16-19 with 576 likely voters and included cellphones in its sample.
Also Wednesday, a new poll by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling gave Thompson a 49%-44% lead, a bump from a poll by the firm in July that had the pair tied at 45%. The margin is still just within the 2.7% margin of error for the poll, which surveyed 1,308 likely voted using an automated telephone survey.
Sorry, wrong number.
The GOP will take Missouri no matter if Akin or any one of the other two run.
The GOP will lose if there is a write-in candidate.

I haven’t seen a lot of Linda McMahon, but what I have seen has impressed me. She’s a tough, smart lady. I probably wouldn’t agree with her on every issue (i.e. she’s probably more liberal on some things than I would like) , but Connecticut is another one of those states where I think you have to pick your battles. If she ends up being the equivalent of a Scott Brown, I could certainly live with that as the “replacement” for Joe Lieberman.
Mainstream media predictably has this election as a "horse race" but they are deep in denial. We are going to see a GOP landslide that might well outperform that of 1980.
Furthermore, I believe that Mitt Romney might shock a lot of conservatives who have written him off as a hopeless RINO. The choice of Paul Ryan is only the beginning. Remember that Romney ran successfully for office in what probably is the most liberal state in all of America.
Only a very few Republicans have ever won statewide in Massachusetts over the past 50 years.
I’m skeptical.
2010 was a big year for us — and McMahon was the nominee running against a guy who claimed to serve in Vietnam multiple times and lied through his teeth! She still lost.
The poll is encouraging but we need to see more.
These numbers will no hold. Every election we see good numbers for the GOP from NJ, Conn, Penn, and MI in the run-up...but by late October the numbers flip to the dems. Same old same old every cycle.
The rats have got to be freaked out from coast to coast. I don’t know if there’s a phrase for “anti-coattails”, but that’s exactly what they are facing. Normal, taxpaying, traditional American families are so disgusted by the African communist “food stamp president” they will crawl through broken glass to vote him OUT. And a lot of rats are going with him, and they know it.
Lay down with dogs...
