Sabato, Jr. is a possible flip in Ventura.

That's who my wife and I are voting for.

In other words, we’ll be getting tired of winning again? ;)

I like your handle! Lol

How is that one shaping up - any reliable polling?

How is Mike Miller doing, poll-wise?

I live very close to this district, and Rothfus is pretty much toast. It’s a shame because Rothfus isn’t a complete squish like most PA “Republicans”.

Lambykins is running the usual Democrat pablum and lies in his TV ads that run 24/7 on Pittsburgh TV, and Rothfus’ response has so far been akin to a whipped pup that knows damn well that it’s whipped.

It’s probably too late to turn this one around, which says as much about the idiot voters in the district as Rothfus’ lame effort.

IA1 now appears to be coming into play.

Actually IA1 is Rod Blum (R) possibly losing to a challenger. IA2 is Loebsack (D) possibly losing to a challenger. Might be a wash in the end in Iowa.

Oops. Yes IA2, except now Blum looking much better, too.

Democrats have touted their upcoming Blue Wave to the point that anything less than a democrat takeover of the house and/or senate is a win for republicans.

It was bestowed by my girl friend who figured I would change it after signing in.

The House will be held by the Rs. I think we might be pick up 9 seats...

If this year was similar to a 2006 scenario I’d say yes the Democrats would have a pretty good chance. But this year is probably closer to a 2002 situation where the GOP added seats in the House an Senate. In that year the Dems were favored to win more seats in Congress but then the Wellstone funeral debacle happened and well, you know the rest.

I haven’t even seen a poll. I know Murphy is out advertising him.

Stauber is going to crush Radinovich. Last two elections were close with the Republican polling well in the western part of the district which is more conservative. However, he was a big business family man who did not poll well in Duluth. Pete Stauber is from a hockey family from Duluth who will pull enough votes in this area to overcome his predecessor. He will also retain the conservative vote from the western part of the district. Take it to the bank. The socialist Radinovich gets pwned.

Yes, I have that as a win. Looking at the other two flips in MN, one for certain, the other iffy.

Do you suppose he is waiting to do a last minute media blitz?

“it is difficult for me to imagine any decent, fair person would vote Demon after that debacle.”

I was at the local Board of Elections today. There were plenty of indecent and disturbed liberals voting today.

Before Trump, we never had a first-term president who did 1/1024th of what they promised on the campaign trail.

Trump had accomplished more than … well, more than any president in US history. And more to come.

It’s nice that he’s confident but I’m skeptical on Sabato actually being competitive.

IA-1? That’s Blum’s seat, would be a hold, not pickup. Do you mean IA-2?
