Rove says Philly didn’t turn out and the republican areas did. I am still pulling for Toomey.
If he wins PA will have done a 180.
PA...Toomey showing down around 8 with 47% in and Corbett showing tied...ABC has called it for Corbett so that tells me it’s mostly heavy dem areas that have been counted so far (Philly)...Polls had shown toomey with a 2-4 pt lead and Corbett around 10 so corbett is running about 8 pts better which is in line...Going to be a nailbiter.
Information on FNC about PA and IL look terrible.
They say it’s too close to call, but seriously.............the leads look insurmountable.
We look to gain about 5-6 Senate seats.
The Dems so far have been fairly successful at building a firewall around the Senate seats.
Strategy for Dems over the next few days...Downplay the house switch and focus on Dem victories in the Senate which were considered sure losses. It think it was a good strategy on their part to focus on maintaining the senate. This keeps it Dem for 6 years. Between now and 2012 is an eternity. Thinks can change quickly, and the Democrats/Media are exceptionally competent/savy in making the House look like dumb fools when they start to reject Obama’s agenda.
Already been hearing some of their strategy tonight. As someone has already mentioned, they will put words into the the Republicans mouths by asking questions such as when are they going to start impeachment proceedings against Obama? etc....Investigations, etc...
Republicans need to focus on policy only, not personalities. As much as I want Obama out of office, let him take himself out. In a sense, I think this may actually be a relief for him. If things go South, he can blame the party of no, and if things go well, he can claim all of the credit. It’s a win-win for Obama.
I just wish we had intelligent and crafty strategists in the Republican party. The Republicans seem to always be the gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats.
