JUBILANT DEMOCRATS SHOULD RECONSIDER their order for confetti and noisemakers, BARRON's claims in their next edition. The Democrats, as widely reported, are expecting GOP-weary voters to flock to the polls in two weeks and hand them control of the House for the first time in 12 years -- and perhaps the Senate, as well. Even some Republicans privately confess that they are anticipating the election-day equivalent of Little Big Horn. Pardon our hubris, but we just don't see it.
Our analysis -- based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance data -- suggests that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least nominally. We expect the Republican majority in the House to fall by eight seats, to 224 of the chamber's 435. At the very worst, our analysis suggests, the party's loss could be as large as 14 seats, leaving a one-seat majority. But that is still a far cry from the 20-seat loss some are predicting. In the Senate, with 100 seats, we see the GOP winding up with 52, down three.

Survivor! The GOP Victory

"Is our method reliable? It certainly has been in the past. Using it in the 2002 and 2004 congressional races, we bucked conventional wisdom and correctly predicted GOP gains both years. Look at House races back to 1972 and you'll find the candidate with the most money has won about 93% of the time. And that's closer to 98% in more recent years, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Polls can be far less reliable. Remember, they all but declared John Kerry president on Election Day 2004."
I'm not greatly concerned about Congress but I do want to see McClintock edge out the Rat for Lt. Gov here in CA (polls show them tied). *That* is the race that I'll be watching.
LOL!!! I was watching that last week, freggin` awesome movie. I was on a George C. Scott trip and also watched the Changeling which freggin` scary as hell.."My name is Joooooseeph"
"Doesn't matter if the Senate changes hands, it's ruled by the Rats no matter what the technical status of the "majority."

Yes, it does. Just think "judges".
And the Dems plans:

I can hear the Ships practicing from my house this Morning.
A major war is apon us. Can America handle it?
I say yes.
How do you say?
"practicing"
That is THE word that lets me know
you aren't serious.
Another sleeper troll?
They seem to be in abundance these days.
Assuming we maintain control of Congress, which I do, I can hardly wait to send e-mails to Chrissy Matthews, and Keith Olbermann, in particular. The e-mail will go something like this: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I wish I could send each of them the new Elmo doll which has a laughing fit continuously. Were I rich I'd mail them each one, and Elmo would have a little Pub shirt sewn onto him by me. Would make my day.
A Question !
If a congressman or woman decides that he or she does not want to belong to a particular party, while they currently reside in that office- can they join the opposing party, or are they limited to simply going 'Independent' ?
Weeping ?
It was 'lamentation' .
The full quote goes like: The greatest pleasure in life is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you
to see their loved ones bathed in tears
to steal their wealth
to ride their horses
and to press to your busom, their wives and daughters :-)

LOL!
Excellent!
That is one lovely tag!
Now, do you care to explain your post...
re: "practicing" ?
I am truly sorry if I offended you.
But, there seems to be an abundance of sleeper trolls.
Certainly.
Tonite I heard gun ships from my home on the Bay.
How far would you like me explain? AKA MSM.
Your call.
You are the ultimate troll. And yes,
I am offended.
MaxMax.
Most folks wouldn't refer to that as "practicing", though.
Most folks would refer to it as "maneuvers", or some such.
Do you have any experience with the military?
I'm off...nitey nite.
