Higher minimum wage


This is the dumbest of the dumb causes there is.

Two bucks an hour more is not going to really improve your situation. A minimum wage is there for a start or a college job on the side. If your top goal is to aspire to work a job that pays minimum wage the you deserve minimum wage.

Wait? Women and blacks don't have rights? Since when?

You don't see the irony in the lining the pockets, when Democrats lined their pockets with Obamacare? Like MASSIVELY lined their pockets.

Environment. 7% of people said that was a priority. 7%...

Like the folks in the video said the other day "We don't give a shite about minimum wage. We need jobs."

The bloodbath will be funny to watch.

You mean like the demonizing that's giung on in this thread with Pimp calling Dems Nambla, crazy saying perverts, you calling Dems stupid? Or is it like the demonizing of the president saying he hates this country and is allowing Dbola patients in to destroy it?

If you don't care for demonizing, why do you do it and support others who do?

I could not imagine associating with a more worthless group of people. Was Nambla not taking new members? Was The Westboro Baptist Church closed for business? You may want to associate with a better class of dedicated loser. Jeez....

Hate to rain on your parade, but this is typical for early voting in NC in a big time competitive general election.

The Dems here in Texas are toeing the party lines in their commercials. Women's rights, raise minimum wage, and equal pay for women are the themes.

The war on women is alive and well apparently

I think 53-55 seats is very possible next week (Yes, a clean sweep is a possibility). The Senate will go GOP and it won't be close. The question is how many? Also, the GOP will pick up seats in the House. The GOP has made this a national referendum on Obama. Democrats never were able to get to bread and butter issues like minimum wage. It's been ISIS or Ebola for 2 solid months. I do think the Democrats have a great chance at some governor seats.

Nope. Not true.
And in NC Tillis and the GOP have done a very bad job of countering it. Could have made Hagan look like a blithering fool.
They didn't.

Hagan's internal polling has her ahead a couple of points. In contrast with public polls, they had her ahead far enough to allow her to skip her final debate. Have no contact with Tillis' operations this go around, so I don't know what their take is. There has also been recent shady support of Sean Haugh to ensure he finishes strong, almost certainly Dem manipulation.

In NC, Democrats were concerned about turnout.
Early voting seems to have put those concerns to rest. Dems lead Republicans 48% to 31% in early voting, and their vote totals are up as well. Number of Dem votes is up 10% vs GOP down 19% (as compared to the same point in 2010).

Hagan has literally done nothing except rubberstamp Reid initiatives. Nothing. Tillis has done nothing significantly good or bad. So this election turns more on relative statewide party strength as opposed to the candidates themselves. Dems put on a basic, standard campaign. Expected lines. Expected Commercials. Expected talking points. Republicans sucked in response, basically they did not respond at all. Tillis might still win. I'd give him slightly better than even odds. But his team has played very poorly.

Two things in his favor. (1) The incumbent Hagan has not been close to 50% in polling. Not normally a harbinger for re-election. (2) Libertarian Sean Haugh has consistently polled in the 10% range. Question being, will some of those votes slip toward Tillis in the end. If Tillis pulls half of those, odds are far better that he wins.

they are fired up? hope they are fired up at themselves for block voting for a party that wants them to be dependent on the government

those who want to have people consider them helpless, incapable of achieving on their own should vote Democratic, they should remain angry at people that actually want them to stand on their own two feet and stop sucking off of other people's taxes and they should remain loyal to those who only want to foster racial hatred, keep the country divided along racial and social lines, it's fricking despicable and yeah they should remain loyal since that is how they want the country to be

She is going to need the black vote (15-20%) of the electorate to win NC. If Hagan is around 10-14% then she will be in serious trouble.

NC Early Vote

Rough Estimates
Democrats
48%
~288,000

Republicans
31%
~186,000

2010 Election Turnout ~2.7 Million
R- Burr ~ 1.5 Mill
D- Marshall ~ 1.15 Mill

This is going to be incredibly close...
If I had to bet then I am betting Tilis.
