I have been saying this for MORE than a Year now and it’s been in my TAGline for that long.
2010 will be a Political TSUNAMI.
100+ seats will change over.
This isn’t 1994 with 54 seats. It will be TWICE that.
The sad news is, we have a shit load of RINOs who will win too....
We need to be READY to press them HARD and EARLY.
But mark my words.... STUNNED will not even come close to describing the atmosphere on election night.
Every single leading race, the GOP wins.
Every single LEANING race, the GOP wins.
Every single TOSS UP, falls TO the GOP that night.
HALF of the Leans Dem, FALL to the GOP as well.
And a couple of SURE DEMS will be unemployed after the recounts!
T S U N A M I !!!
DEMOCRATS ANNIHILATED IN ELECTION HOLOCAUST! <-— Headline Wednesday Morning.
Your post is the only one that I have seen that accurately describes what is about to happen. It will be a bloodbath.
Even if the scenario came to pass, the MSM wouldn't make that their headline. They'd be in full spin mode... more like
Rachel, I agree.
Whatever happens in the senate, the house will be Republican after Jan. 3, and could and should defend by defund. I look for a major logjam to last until 2012, when we dump more dims from the senate, and toss out a bunch of RINOs as well.
Allen West for speaker in 2013, Jim DeMint for senate majority leader, 2011!
It all depends upon what bar you set for a tsunami, but I am basically in your camp.
I could see 75 seats switch to the Republicans and as many as 8 Senate seats. The Republicans will take over the state houses of nearly 3/4 of the US population.
Many Republicans will be disappointed when the Republicans don’t take control of the Senate. What has gone without saying, though, is that the Dems owe their 60-seat advantage to blood baths in 2006 and 2008. The 2004 elections were actually quite kind to the Republicans, and for this reason there is only so much progress that Republicans can make in this cycle vis-a-vis the Senate.
But if the Republicans can take 8 Senate seats, grab one defecting Democrat, and get Lieberman to caucus with them, then the future becomes bright once again — for the simple reason that in the next two cycles (2012 and 2014) there will be so so so many vulnerable Dems up for re-election.
And with so many Republican governors, the prospects for both redistricting and elections for the next decade look ever brighter.
American voters made a breathtakingly serious mistake in 2008. They will unwind it with a vengeance!
We will take the Senate.
I hope you’re right Rachel. I am working, giving, and praying for that result in my little corner of the world.
Even with small elections: school board, etc. We start small with a national vision. The Constitution must be the rule.
Just hope the Pubs coming in are honest and true conservatives, not the money grubbing, glory hunters of the Bush congress.
One small problem: you use the word "Holocaust", and a "Holocaust" is a BAD thing. Ridding our government of liberals, though, is NOT a bad thing.
Although, upon reflection, if this is a "headline" from the newspapers, it makes sense that THEY would consider it a "holocaust". :)

I think we're gonna shut down the business and party all that day. Mount a big American flag on the truck and cruise all over town, honking loudly for freedom!
Geeez, I can't wait. Talk about real Hope & Change!
I LOVE the way you think!
I’ve already got the Wednesday after as a day off work,,, so I can stay up late,drink a couple adult beverages, and see all the crying on MSNBC.
AMERICA THROWS A TANTRUM is more likely.
True story.
Couple of local conservatives ran in my district in MI. They won, they are rib-rocked tea party types going to the state house and senate.
One of my buds ran into one of their Dem challengers @ his mom's house which had one of the rib-rock signs in her yard :-) .
He had a pleasant chat with her and asked her, her chances, she isn't a loon, a rather nice lady and she said this : I did what I thought was right, but frankly this is a title wave, and I don't think I am gonna make it.
They know.....
We still have to stay focused and campain like we are 10points down.
A rino is better than a progressive liberal. They stole our country over a period of decades. We may have to take what we can get at first. Then we begin electing conservatives in primaries to beat the rinos. We CANNOT let these progressive pinkos keep winning. They all MUST go.
