IMHO, for every single national election, only the House matters. As the House goes, so goes the budget, so goes the leverage of DC, so goes all the power. If we keep the house, and we will quite easily with a VERY solid majority, we’ve won it all.
The Dems need to put that old nag out to pasture.
This is news? I know we shouldn’t get cocky, but I consider the House a ‘lock’. Witch Pelosi can continue in the minority. I’d prefer her in Leavenworth but will have to settle. Politics is the art of the possible.
This just shows the built-in treachery of the presidential poll distortion. The democrats, and the MSM, and most of the major polling firms, would have us to believe that there is going to be a significant turn-out advantage for the democrats (like 2008 or even higher). Yet if this is true, how in the world would we at the same time expect for the republicans to pick up more house seats? Either we are going to have a strong D turnout like most of the polling firms factor in (which would almost certainly result in a loss of R house seats) or the republicans will pick up house seats (which everyone seems to agree will happen). But if that’s the case, then that almost certainly suggests that the R turnout will be good. If that’s true, then almost all the presidential polling overstated Obama’s support. It can’t be both ways. I’m guessing (and praying) that its the latter.
in 2008 they picked up many House seats as well.
This Democrat narrative that the 2008 turnout was a change in voting for the US on a permanent basis is a myth created from their own minds.
Republicans are going to outperform the Democrats and the pollsters will explain it by stating that they believed 2008 represented a shift in the American voting demographic, when it was in fact, an aberration.
I agree that we will keep the house and that is very important. I do no agree with any predictions of a “landslide” for either party. I have no idea what would make anyone think a landslide is underway for either. I will be happy with the house, though.
