We lost 24 seats. Without Rush and others relentlessly pointing out the utterly self defeating habit of the Poll Worshipers that would of been 42. Considering the suppressed Conservative Voter turnout how much do you bet the polling hype cost us 5 or so seats since voters in close races just gave up on them because "the polls say we cannot win?"

How about the fact the pollers got all but a single KY race wrong?

So the Poll Worshipers blew it in 1980, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2202, 2004 but got close in 2006.

If you want to claim that as your batting average, feel free.

Suspicious?

The problem I saw was that the GOP did not get their message out to the regular folks, NOT the folks that gather here on FR, we got the messsage, we "get it", but so many people that do not follow politics as we do ever "got it", and that explanation should have come out to them a long time ago, instead all they got was what the MSM fed them, we allowed it to happen. I don't know how many times I would hear someone from the GOP speak and I would notice they weren't making it clear enough. I think some of us could have done a much better job getting the people to understand, maybe next time we need to raise funds to get some air time! LOL

the mainstream polls were more right then wrong. we lost 6 senate seats, that was the worst case prediction.
