R&

I don't care if you aren't sure who someone is, if they have (D) vote for them. I want to send a clear message to the Billionaire's Club that America is not for sale.

The generic ballot means almost nothing right now. 95% of House seats are what would be called "safe seats" created through gerrymandering. Both sides are guilty of doing this. District maps need to be drawn by bipartisan panels. Then people might get real representation.

good chance at being flipped. Actually, my district has been redrawn to slightly favor Democrats and the GOP incumbent is running behind the Democratic challenger. I think the GOP may have overplayed its hand last election.

We'd have had far fewer Gobber Congress' in the 90's.. thanks to Gerrymandering , there is little chance the National Popular vote totals will have much meaning..

Long odds against winning back the House at this point. I think the median forecase is picking up 5-10 seats.

But the Senate is looking MUCH better than just a few months ago.

Next to getting our President a second term, hopefully with a solid enough margin to make it ring more more hollow when the republicans try to say it did not count, the fact that the Ds look to actually maybe pickup a senate seat or two after everyone had just handed the senate to the the Rs is pretty darn sweet.

The House was always a tough run this go around - 25 seat margin is not massive, but the energy for this election is all at the presidential and senatorial level, which means the norm will be just keeping the current congressman/women.

I think the 5 to 10 might be a bit short selling the way the media does, like just giving the Rs the senate for the last two years. IF BO can uptick a bit, I think it can be in the low teens ...

And it's certainly within reach if the president wins by a few percent...

... but it means winning essentially every tossup House race.

IF we can get a solid win for the President and get a few seats in the senate, and cut the margin down in the House, maybe that takes A LITTLE steam out of those jerkoffs sails ...

...and I say this as someone who's given DCCC $6,000. This is a "generic" candidate preference poll. Focus on head to head match-ups, and I'm still not seeing net + 25.

an insider polling news.

FORWARD!

But that would be epic if it happened.

And then we can get something done to put America back to work.

Let's at least leave Eric Cantor back in Virginia.

More than DCCC has done!!!

Thanks for the link...will do.

That would be heaven.

The poll asked whether the respondents wanted to see the Democrats control both Houses or Republicans. (The exact question: "What is your preference for the outcome of this year's congressional elections -- (ROTATE a Congress controlled by Republicans or a Congress controlled by Democrats?&quot The answer to that poll in no way supports the statement that the poll shows Democrats leading "the race for Congress." Its really a very pointless question, imo. And for what its worth, the results of the mid-October poll on this question are actually worse for Democrats than the results for this question in August and September.

To illustrate how silly it is to draw conclusions about which party will control the House based on this poll, consider that the poll surveyed 1000 voters. There are 435 Congressional districts and there is no indication that any effort was made to ensure that each congressional district was represented in the poll. Even if such an effort had been made, it would mean 2, or at most 3, voters per distrct were polled. You don't have to be a statistician to figure out that a poll of two people isn't going to give you a reliable result in determining the outcome of a particular House race.

Ignoring the fact that the guy fixing his white tie to go to the opera is voting for the same guy as someone who has a silo in his yard.

and highly unlikely given the tight polling at the national level. This would have to be wave election for the Dems to control the House, and there is no sign of that. We should retain the Senate though.

Here's what happened when they tried that before:



Next election:

Keep in mind when Republican ran on "jobs, job, jobs" after the crash the public panicked and was stupid enough to believe Republicans would deliver on their campaign promise. This resulted in a shift of 63 seats which decimated the Blue Dog DINOs to the point where the Clinton Era DLC closed up shop. The Democrats became Obama's property at that point. They need only 25 seats to take back the House.

and STILL would, if they WILL help Wayne Powell. On THIS subject, I'm a one-issue spender.

you can vote with your wallet ,i vote every mitt open his mouth i give down ballot ex:camona,bob kerry,tammy duckworth we have so many great people running .
