Any worries about us losing the House are just rat pipe dreams.
Don’t be so confident. The GOP isn’t being an engaged opposition party. They are running the same loser tip toe strategy from 2012. The GOP just hasn’t given voters a reason to vote FOR them.
I expect the Dems will keep the Senate and pick up a few seats in the House. The Dems are already campaigning for 2012. The GOP is not. That’s not a winning action plan for the GOP.
It’s still early, and also factor in the failure that is Obamacare. How will an Obamacare meltdown (which I’m predicting based on this catastrophic rollout) affect the election?
This could easily be enough to throw Hagan, Pryor, and Landrieu out.
We’ve also had 3 fall into our laps in Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia. We only need 6, and there are other races beyond those like Iowa and Michigan. In the last poll for Michigan, our candidate is running 1 point behind! For Michigan, that’s pretty good, and our candidate has high name ID. Perhaps the Detroit exodus has drained the rat base some.
All of the rats running for re-election in 2014 voted for Obamacare. Most of them voted for gun grabbing last April. While Pryor of Arkansas didn't vote for more gun grabbing in April, this WaPo story shows that he'll vote against the Second Amendment if it's needed.
This weekend's Journal Editorial Report on FNC showed an ad McAuliffe is using against Cuccinelli--all lies but slickly produced and targeting young swing voters, trying to make them think Cuccinelli is an extremist. If it works we'll see even more of that next year.
