Fight for Senate Control Down to Five States
Roll Call Politics ^ | September 24, 2014 | Stuart Rothenberg

Posted on 09/24/2014 3:19:57 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

With six weeks to go, the fight for control of the Senate is down to five states, four of them currently held by Democrats.

Republicans must win only two of those contests to guarantee the 51 seats they need to control the Senate for the last two years of Barack Obama’s presidency. And they need to win only one of the Democratic states if they hold the only GOP seat at serious risk.

While things could still change — and national polls continue to show an environment that may produce a substantial GOP wave in the House and Senate — the Senate battle has boiled down to two reliably red states and three swing states.

From the point they win, how many hours before they roll over to “get along” and restore the Senate rules that allow filibusters?

Progressives/Liberals are extremely totalitarian.

True, but at least they are not RINOS, so they've got that going for them.

I live in NC and doubt Kay will beat Tom. She is the face of the Obama presidency.

I am not one of those who has objection to reposting of articles, especially when it is a topic of interest to the forum. The double posting Nazis are just as bad as the other posting Nazis that dwell herein.

But, I do like it when there is a link to earlier threads, sometimes each separate thread takes on a character of its own. All good, in my opinion, even the ones that resort to hurling insults (Well, maybe not those so much).

centurion316. Respectfully, it would have taken you less time to click on the link to see who posted it rather than asking the question.

Keep talking. That’s a very revealing thing for you to say. You’re showing your true colors more and more.

All they have to do is produce all the fraud in those states and they win. America and our freedom lost.

I just crosslinked your earlier thread to this one here. Help keep them together
and offers varying opinion from one to the other.

Ah. But that is not the issue.
The issue is centurion69 is a whiner.
Another poster makes a mistake, and centurion69 whines about.
Maybe centurion69 can whine to Jim and have the duplicate thread
removed. It does not bother me, but apparently it bothers him.

We have some very rankled operatives out today.

Things are not going ‘their way’. Hence the rudeness and personal attacks.

we need a Pub Senate I don’t care if these guys worship the corn god......


Perhaps we could have one if the GOPe stopped undermining and backstabbing conservatives. Those flyers and robo-calls calling McDaniel and the TEA Party “Racist” really helped the Republicans.

Invoking Jim without pinging him? You must be new around here.

Real rugged handle for someone who is trying to hide behind skirts.

Sometimes it makes sense to provide a link to a previous FR post of the same or similar article, particularly if it spurred a substantial amount of comment that add to the conversation.

I will admit, however, that I don't do that. Several days ago I posted about the SWAT team used to check whether barbers had valid licenses. The same story from another source was pasted today. I didn't point out my earlier post.

However, I have no problem with centurion 316 doing so. Let's not quibble among ourselves over minor issues.
