How likely is it that we kick Reid out next time?
What’s going on in MA?
$$$$ & dirty tricks.
Republicans will win back the Senate. Count on at least a 52-48 margin, maybe more. Romney is going to win with MASSIVE coattails. He is going to sweep some who would otherwise lose over the finish line. Most of the polls are over-counting Democrats and under-counting Republicans. TT in Wisc., Mandel in Ohio, Allen in Va, and Smith in Pa will all be elected. If you want to help these predictions become reality, go to senateconservatives.com to donate $10 to the conservative Senate candidate of your choice.
What will the House split look like? I know they’re pulling some dirty re-districting in Illinois to kick out some Republicans. Bachmann looks to be staying. So does West. I think Hasner will win in Florida, and Harrington might just snare Washermouth’s seat.
I doubt that. Who took the blame in 2008 after Democrats controlled Congress for 2 years? People tend to blame the White House. That will be proven beyond a doubt again if Romney beats Obama but Dems keep the Senate. And the Dems, knowing that, will try to make life as miserable for Americans as possible over the next 2 years to pick up seats in 2014.
This year is a huge opportunity for getting Dems out of the Senate, with many more up for election than Repubs. If they can't succeed this year, it's a major failure for the party and I'm not sure if they'll have as good a map in 2014. And if Romney's first term fails because of Dem sabotage, Repubs will get slaughtered in 2016 on all fronts.
Easier said then done. Many businesses have cut the hours of their fulltime workers to make them part-timers because of ObamaCare. So, how exactly will this economy recover under a President Romney with the full implementation of ObamaCare?
Prepping for Obamacare, Chain Cuts Workers' Hours
The MSM and the Democrats will see to it that Romney and the Republicans own this Obama economy beginning on Jan 20th 2013.
As you may remember, On Jan 20 2001 The Clinton Recession which was not even acknowledged by the MSM and the democrats mysteriously appeared for the first time in the news as the "Bush Recession.
Romney will own the results of this economy due to the implementation of ObamaCare.
If Romney fails to bring back the economy of the United States he will be a one term President, Harry Reid, the democrats and the MSM will make certain of it.
Creating jobs under OBAMACARE? Unlikely.
Losing the Senate is NOT an option.
I have been saying the Senate race here is to close to call and the absentee votes will determine the election, nothing I have seen has changed my mind...
Fear not. Brown, Mccaskill, and Thompson will all win. The only one who could lose by a hair is Brown. But I believe Romney’s coattails will carry even Brown over the finish line. Obama will win Massachusetts by 58-41% but that is much better than McCain did four years ago(63-36). Brown will need nearly 25% of Obama voters to split their tickets and vote for him. I believe he will and can do it but it will be very close.
We need 50 seats with our VP. The problm is it looks like out senate hopes have collapsed somewhat. I though Allen had it in the bag along with Thompson in WI....now, not so much.
I misspoke. Akin will defeat Mccaskill.
With ObamaCare in FULL operation? It may not be fair but Romney will own the results of the 2013 & 2014 economy due to the implementation of ObamaCare. I think Romney losing a second term would be more likely if ObamaCare is not repealed at the beginning of his first term.
ObamaCare is not just an issue of values, it's a wall that keeps our economy from coming back.
Right. Lots of weak Donkeys swept in with the Kenyan in 08 will be up in ‘14. And it will be payback time. But fear not, the GOP is taking back the Senate on November 6.
“Romney would probably rather have a Dem Senate there so he can have an excuse not to repeal Obamacare, and simply “reform” it.....”

Still on your jihad against the Republican’s presidential nominee?
You are going to be so depressed the morning of November 7 when you read about the number of electoral votes the Republicans have won and the number of Senate contests in which they have prevailed.
Can you give us the details of how you see that coming to be? Remember HOPE is NOT a strategy.
And this is not just a question about Akin but about Brown and all the other GOP Candidates running for the Senate.
HOPE is NOT a strategy
Share your details and the plan so that we may all be able to do something for out candidates in our own states.
LOL, if you looked at my tagline you’d see I support Romney. But I certainly don’t trust him to stand up for conservative values, when even in the debates he talks about bipartisanship and often points out the things he agrees with Obama on. Bipartisanship and “repealing Obamacare” are not compatible.
Did you read the headline of this article?
Please provide the polling data that shows the Republicans winning the Senate.
Hope is not a strategy
That depends on whether the New Media can discredit the Liberal Stream Media, and how good of a communicator Romney could be. The trends so far are encouraging. Also, Sens like Manchin, Lieberman, or Dems vulnerable in 2014 can be persuaded to vote the right way on important tax reform legislation and energy issues.

Losing the Senate is NOT an option and we could lose it by making false statements that we are winning it when we are not.
