I say wave. Obama fatigue has set in.

And Romney will win 330 EVs on Election Day, right Mike?

Imagine how big the wave would be if Romney and Rove
were not there, and in their absence: CONSERVATISM.

So, I guess Rove is wrong again about GOP-e candidates needing money.

We’re watching a wave come in. We just can’t be sure how far it goes.

Be still, my beating heart.

But Obama will still not be impeached, Boehner will still be a bonehead.

We need 67. We need 67. We need 67. Not betting on it.

If the GOP can pull it off, let’s hope that they act like winners and not butt boys for the RATS.

lol OK. Let me guess. This is like the unskewed polls?

There will be no wave. The GOPe may do reasonably well IF all falls into place. But like I’ve said, the fact that this is even up in the air is a disaster due to the incredibly positive electoral map for the GOP.

Yeah in year out it’s happy talk and it never seems to work out and we do it all again. As long as we think that way, it will never change. We have ideas, not wishful thinking. Too often we rely upon the latter.

I’ve heard this enthusiasm before. If the GOP thinks it is going to cause a ripple, it will do something to prevent it. Forget about a wave.

Interesting. Mr. Barone mentions nothing about voter fraud. Personally, I’m more concerned about voter fraud than I am about personalities.

He who counts the votes has ultimate power.

“Early in the 2010 cycle, Barack Obama told an Arkansas House Democrat that he needn’t worry about voters because “you’ve got me.” Today all four Arkansas House seats are held by Republicans.”

Better put some ice on that, Dimwits.

Midterm elections are not the same as presidential elections. The electorate in midterm elections tends to be much smaller than in presidential elections. The electorate also tends to somewhat older, whiter, more disciplined, and more conservative, therefore much more Republican. Not good news for the Dems.

Further, even more worrisome from the Dems are historical trends and voting patterns. Midterm elections almost always favor the party out of power. This is even more pronounced in the sixth year of an incumbent administration. Consider the following:

In 1958, the 6th year of the Eisenhower Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.

In 1966, the 6th year of the JKF-LBJ Administrations, the GOP scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.

In 1974, the 6th year of the Nixon-Ford Administrations, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.

In 1986, the 6th year of the RR Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.

In 1998, the 6th year of the Clinton Administration, the GOP did not do so well, but that is because they already scored huge gains in the 1994 midterm election and managed to hold on to them throughout the remainder of the Clinton Administration.

In 2006, the 6th year of the GWB Administration, the Dems scored huge gains in the midterm election that year.

Polls fluctuate back and forth which each passing day, but historical patterns remain relatively constant. Why should this year be any different? Further, Dems are hampered by the fact that they must defend so many US Senate seats in red states carried by McCain and MR where BHO’s poll ratings are even lower than the national average. No wonder the Dems are crapping bricks this year.

However far it goes; we can be sure of one thing. The GOPe will find a way to screw it up.

I think I will save my Comments on this until the day after the Election.

My lack of Faith in the Electorate will not allow me to be caught up in the hope that people are bright enough to realize what a disaster the Democrat Party is.

Remember, THEY LIVE, and we’re the only ones wearing the Sunglasses.
