#1 The so-called "security moms" -- who worry about terrorism at home and gave Mr. Bush's party the advantage in the 2002 and 2004 elections -- "are not voting terrorism this time," said Miss Lake. "They give the administration a nine-point advantage on terrorism but give Democrats a 15-point advantage on the problems that matter most to them -- education, health care and the economy."

smells like BS to me. The economy is doing well and just about all the moms I know are concerned about terrorism at home.

Article is long on predictions and short on facts. Once again they cited the same three repubs who will probably lose as the example of how the Dems will sweep those 15 seats in House and take the senate.

OK - maybe they are tight races - but why only list the same three if the races are so stacked in the Dem's favor??? I'm just wondering who the other 12 are???

#3 We'll see, but you've seen posts here from (otherwise) non-idiotarians who're so full of themselves they'll sit the election out - or "punish" the Pubs. Consider what the population at large will do, those getting their "news" from the MSM. Personally, prior to the Foley idiocy, I thought the Pubs would survive Nov, losing no more than 5 seats. Now, I dunno. Is that a sheeple stampede I hears off inna distance?

If they take the House, then we are fucked for at least 2 years. Impeachment proceedings will be likely. Nothing, probably including Iran, will get done. Big Juju in losing the House.

If they take the Senate, how will we be able to tell? It's a gutless RINO preserve, already.

#4 We still haven't seen the Rovian October Suprise. Besides, it is up to the Reps to get the faithful out. Final two weeks will do

#6 I'm not sitting it out - in fact I may vote a couple times. I'll play that I'm illegal. How dare they ask for ID or question me? :-)

I like that Frank G! That's the old time Chicago-Mayor Richard Daley spirit! Vote early and often ... and make sure the dead also vote.

More than that ... the damage done during that time might be impossible to undo.

Iran with nukes, surveillance of jihadi comms forbidden, the borders unmonitored, illegal immigrants given the right to vote locally (at first) as a prelude to full amnesty ....

#10 We still haven't seen the Rovian October Suprise

I'm thinking that maybe the whole Foley thing is a Rovian play. Who knew and when did they know? Um..gosh the Democrats sat on it for years and then pulled it out at election time. Repubs get rid of icky Foley and get to remind the population that the Dems send their perverts back for more while the Repubs kick them out. And then you have the spectacle of the MSM overplaying their hand as expected. It all just seems so .... Rovian.
