How bad will it get if the Republicans fail to gain the senate? How far will Obama and Holder push this country?

quote:

A recent poll by media outlets in the state showed Mr. McConnell with a two-percentage-point lead


That's not good. She has raised a lot more money that Mitch too. 11 million!

Now he has agreed to debate her. With a narrow lead, this could break him.

IMO... You don't debate somebody that you know you are going to beat. This, to me, is a sign that he has to win this debate in order to win this election.



There are 9 toss ups:
Begich(D) leads by 4

Pryor (D) down by only 2 after being down by 7 in june

Udall (D).. tied despite his LOW approval rating.

Landrieu (D) tied

Hagan (D) Tied

Then 3 open seats:

IA: Tied
Mi: The Dem is up by 4
Ga: The Rep is up by 9... they have a short debate today at 12:15.


The republicans have to gain 6. Where is it going to come from? It is my opinion, for what it's worth, that these races should not even be this close. Not if the american people are sick of what's going on.

Are you ready to admit you were wrong on Sterling keeping his team and screwing over the NBA?

GOP won't win the senate

And this time around they won't have the "tea party" to blame. The losses will be incurred by the establishment stooges just like in 2012. 8 establishment candidates lost winnable senate seats in 2012 compared to just 2 tea party candidates yet the tea party got all the blame

North Carolina, Louisiana, Alaska, Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan, all throwing establishment backed RINO stooges out there.

Just like the 2012 Presidential election, the prize is there for the Republicans to take. If they don't, it's on them. History indicates this should be a relatively easy sweep for Republicans. That so many of the races are tight is indicative of the current problems within the Republican party.

This is discouraging that after all this diatribe, they are still only hanging on by a mere slight advantage. R's should be blowing them out of the water, but the candidates they are putting out there IMHO are nothing special.

If the GOP loses those two after the 2012 Missouri and Indiana debacles, there is no hope.

About as bad as it is right now.

Republicans will either take the senate or not. Either way, Obama will refuse to work with them on anything, and in return his agenda is just as dead as it has been since 2010.

A gridlocked federal government has some benefits that I think some of you don't see.

....REALLY,REALLY BAD!!! White people will wreak havoc on this country. They will do something that will make the riots in Missouri look like child's play....they will do something that will grind this country to a halt and shut down the government.

They will stop going to work....and the blood sucking leaches will die on the vine!!!

Darkhorse, you might want to add a state to that list of close races.

Six weeks ago, the major NH Poll (WMUR/UNH) had incumbent Dem Sen. Jeanne Shaheen leading likely Rep. nominee Scott Brown by 12 points, 52-40.
Just 6 weeks ago.

Tonight, they just released their latest poll here in NH, conducted Aug. 7 - 17th.

New poll result: Shaheen 46 Brown 44 !

10 points cut off the 12 point lead in just 6 weeks, using the same pollster.

State is back in play.

Probably less about Shaheen than Obama.

Obama won NH in 2012 by 52-47.

In the poll released today, Obama had an approval rating of 38%, and a disapproval rating of 55%.

There have been 5 Shaheen ads to every one Brown ad up here so far, as Brown's plan has to been to turn on the pressure after he clears the Sept. 9th primary.

One thing to watch for is that the poll ended before the news of the brutal murder of the NH reporter, which is huge news up here. Hard to tell if that will come into play or not.

I think the republicans will win back the senate…it honestly doesn't matter tho. The presidents foreign policy is so weak and he will just veto everything congress presents him…even bigger lame duck period.
