#14 probably a good idea nimble - makes them think they need to muster up fewer dead votes than they really need. |

#12 I talk to pollsters. And I always tell them I vote straight Donk. |

#11 Yep, this a master of the obvious. Unfortunately the senate has not had any balls on this. Hey Senators, we want illegal immigration stopped and limits put on those who do come here legally! Build a fence, now. |

#10 That's prolly why they don't want to deal with the issue, but that would imply a conspiracy, and we all know there are no conspiracies. Or was that there are no cover-ups ? Whatever, won't happen here. |

#9 On the TV news this morning was a report that the US gov has been vastly underestimating the numbers of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican border. The previous figure was 3 million/year but is closer to 9 million/year. |

#8 And that's why Denny's got to get that bill to W and sign it before the election, even w/the stuff that won't be funded until later. |

#7 Remember, folks, the polls are based on people who don't mind talking to polsters. |

#6 Given the Senate RINO population, that chamber appears to already be a tossup - if not a write-off. The House is where the action is, where all of the good bills have originated, and that is what most concerns me. It's also where a Bill of Impeachment would originate and where the "hearings" would be held. This shit matters. |

#5 I stand by my original prediction in August. The Republicans will loose a few seats, but no where near what is needed to loose control of Congress. The Democrats will whine/seath/blame and get even more paranoid and hateful for '08. |

#3 Let's hope the GOTV effort is extra-special effective this time because the magic numbers are 5 in the Senate and 15 in the House, and current polls have the GOP losing both houses. As Hindrocket points out on Powerline, nobody has gone 4-0 in a long, long time and I don't think W will be the exception. |

#2 First, nobody outside the blue cities in the blue states gives a fig about the Foley situation. Second, the republicans have 5 times as much $ as the crats, so the last week blitz will be recognizable republican vs. whatsisname. Third, if they can use that $ to get out the vote, then republicans will win a few more than even Rove expects. |

#1 This poll might help explain this. |
