Old numbers. The Supreme Court has changed things. Besides, in their toss-ups I see five or six states where recent polls have the Republican in the lead.
I think this explains Barry’s obsession with needing more and more money for his “war chest”. He knows that the communist DemocRATS are going to spend everything they have trying to hold on to the Senate. They don’t care about the White House and the House of Representatives. As long as they can hold the Senate, communism in America will survive and continue to feed off of the system and America’s treasury.
This is TOTAL agit-prop. No one believes this, even the NewYork Times.
With Kasich in Ohio and Romney ahead there, I think Brown will lose. I believe that Allen will win in Virginia. I haven't studied the others well enough.
McCaskill is toast in MO....by double-digits. I guarantee it.
Lmao. MO a tossup? Every poll has McCaskill down double digits. I quit looking when I saw that one!
So where does all this information used to make these determinations come from? I must have missed it and I looked all over the page for lins kto a story or outside polling used to come to these conclusions and I find nothing.
Worthless as a source of informtion as far as I am concerned.
I’ll just this, at least it has some facts to use as a basis:
012 Battle for the Senate … Could GOP be Poised to Retake Senate … Montana Senate: Rehberg (R) 53%, Tester (D) 43% & Nevada Senate: Heller (R) 51%, Berkley (D) 40% & Missouri Senate: Steelman (R) 49%, McCaskill (D) 42%
This is a totally worthless RCP poll.
They throw in several wildly insane polls to get the results they want.
If they can find some RAT poll that has Obumbles up 115% -0% they average it in, and do it with a straight face.
“012 Battle for the Senate … Could GOP be Poised to Retake Senate … Montana Senate: Rehberg (R) 53%, Tester (D) 43% & Nevada Senate: Heller (R) 51%, Berkley (D) 40% & Missouri Senate: Steelman (R) 49%, McCaskill (D) 42%”
It’s laughable that these seats are considered “toss ups.” Incumbents that poll in the low 40’s now are not going to win. The same is true for FUBO! The real problem the Republicans have to overcome is the fact that a lot of them are “feckless” jerks who acted like RATS when GWB the Worthless was in office.
I think you are exactly right. What is not covered by the media is that it seems to be every man for himself this year among dems. Now what Obama can use of foreign money is unknown, but Wall Street is not his friend this year, according to the Insider.
Senate dems can not appear with Obama and he has thrown them overboard, all of them racing for the same cash pool.
I wrote off Brown’s chances for reelection the day he was elected in January 2010. I knew he would not ever get reelected. And nothing has changed about that.
But that is OK. He gave us the gift of breaking the 60 seat Senate supermajority for the year 2010, and as a bonus he kept a Democrat out of the seat for 2011 and 2012. From a state like Massachusetts, you have to accept the small gifts you receive from the voters. But we knew it would not last long. We may get another GOP senator in Massachusetts in another 20 years if we are lucky, but not this year.
The good news is there are several others states that look good for pick-ups this year, and I see a GOP majority as a result. We should ignore the liberal media’s obsession with the Massachusetts race and concentrate on the races that we can win.
From July, 2010 :Democrats Jump Into Six-Point Lead on Generic Ballot http://www.gallup.com/poll/141440/democrats-jump-six-point-lead-generic-ballot.aspx. I guess you remember what happened in November, 2010.
It wouldn’t surprise me.
Americans are some of the cheapest dates on Earth: our politicians are buying our votes with our own money.
Snowe will most likely give up her seat to Angus King, an “independent” who will be sure to caucus with the Dems.
I agree. It’s all about the liberal media keeping the troops motivated.
if memory serves me the GOP fell shy of control of the senate in ‘10 when there were 22 senate races....i believe there are 33 races in play in November which means the rats have a heap of trouble on their hands...
btw- Nelson in Florida a toss-up??? also though i read elsewhere Tester in Montana in a lot of trouble...
That’s not what I saw when I just visited the RCP page. First, it showed the current Senate count: 53/47 in favor of Dems.
Then it showed 47 safe Dems and 45 safe Repubs. for the upcoming election. When I looked up the eight toss-up states, I saw the following states with Repubs leading...
MA - Brown
MO - Steelman (assuming she wins primary; she’s favored)
MT - Rehberg
NV - Heller
ND - Berg
WI - Thompson (assuming he wins primary; he’s favored)
The two where the Dems are in the lead are:
FL - Nelson avg. +6
VA - Kaine avg. +.1
So, Repubs are winning six out of eight with VA being a statistical tie. At this point, the numbers look good for a Repub. Senate flip.
