Polling bias, Standard Procedure, to promote THE ONE, and convince us chances to rid ourselves are poor. It isn't. I am not as rosey as Dick Morris, but I am cautiously hopeful
Ping.
Thanks. I’ll spend some time digesting this.

FYI good reference material.
It is pathetic.
AMERICANS HATE ROMNEYCARE AND OBAMACARE.
Mr. RomneyCARE MUST drop out and save America.
We need to remember, too, that the propaganda press had Mondale up by 20 points over Reagan in the ‘84 election.
So if you’re relying on the Goebbel’s press to crunch your numbers...well, maybe you should consider finding a different data set to work your numbers.
Thanks a lot. You have put some good effort into this. I’ll be referring back to it often I’m sure.
Democrats currently control 53 seats in the Senate (including two independents who caucus with the Democrats), Republicans 47.
Where primaries have not been held, I have listed a few GOP frontrunners, but these are only hypothetical and there can be surprises as there was in NE where Tea Party favorite Deb Fischer beat the frontrunner. If you have input on frontrunners for pre-primary states, chime in.
Links to primary winners' websites are included so you can learn more about the candidates and donate, if you feel so inclined.
It's widely thought that the GOP will keep the House, so besides the battle for the White House, the next focus has to be the Senate.
Let's roll!

If you would like to be pinged to Political Junkie's excellent White House and Senate analysis threads, Freepmail me and I'll keep a PJ Ping List.
After 11 years, I'm still not worthy of some kind of sidebar recognition?
Do you find MSM articles more factual or worthy of FR eyes than what I just wrote?
Whom do YOU want to win the election? How are you working to motivate the people?

Baraq is toast in Indiana.
We’ve got great candidates for Governor (Mike Pence) and Senator (Richard Mourdock who ousted Lugar in the primary).
The Independence day parade in my town was probably the biggest ever, with a huge contingent of Catholics waving “Support Religious Freedom” signs - that’s all new.
I saw a guy from the D party trying to hand out fliers and NOBODY would even take one.
I think the Supreme Court decision on BaraqqiCare has really energized patriots.
Good work, PJ2.
Keep it coming.
Also, please add me to your ping list.
I’d love to be on your ping list. Your research is so thorough! Thank you for sharing all your hard work.
Now ora et labora, y’all.
A few factors that need to be factored in:
The good:
Republicans are usually -1.5 to 2.5% in the generic congressional poll. Rs are now +7%, a huge but quiet shift.
Ds always poll 2-3% better than the election results. This year, people are afraid to tell a pollster that they will not vote for the Orama because they afraid to be seen as racist, but when the curtain is closed, will do so in huge numbers..
Most importantly, the people who will decide the election, not us or the DU crowd, but the middle 18%, aren't interested in the election yet.
Finally, the bad:
If he is not totally assured he will win, Obama will do something huge at the D convention; probably dump Biden.
We shall see.
Mitt was shoved down our throats day 1 by the GOPe.
Anyone-
Who is a good alternative to Obama that we can support?
Thank you.
Hey, put me BACK ON your Ping list. I’ve only been following you since you started doing this many elections ago!

Obama turned it around in the last week.
Was that around the time McGramps was frantically running around calling for an emergency meeting and generally appearing as if he had the onset of dementia?
The whole thing was just to weird. Even before McGramps had his spell the media kept making the race about the Republican VP nom and the guy who was running for Prezbo, who coincidentally had no record of occomplishments but had a nice smille and a “funny sounding name.”
Sounds like Baraq Ozombie.
