Poll question: Do you feel the momentum has shifted?

It is going to take some work, but I think that the MidTerms are going to go alright.

1. I am one of the biggest cynics here

And even I think there has been a shift in the wind. The Repubs and the Teabaggers played their hands too soon. Now, their momentum that they had has been brought down by some of the most batshit crazy disclosures yet. There is in-fighting, and even the MSM is reporting on the craziness behind these candidates. Yes, I think their is a definite shift right now.

3. Maybe

I am hoping that the teabag nutters peaked a bit too soon. Here in CA the races are still much too close for comfort. Perhaps as it gets closer to election day those who brought us victory in 2008 will rise to the occasion and keep the nutbags out of office.

We shall see. It's all about GOTV.

4. If Free Fall is a Change, Yes.

sorry, but things will not improve with the midterms. The question is only: How bad will it get vs. how bad COULD it get.

Edited on Sun Sep-19-10 10:31 PM by RKP5637

teabaggers have been making of themselves. It's hard to imagine any reasonable sane and intelligent person thinking/saying/voting - that those people are just what my country needs. I've not heard any of them articulate meaningful solutions other than the same old tired BS rhetoric and the crazies have piled on.

I voted "maybe," because I think people are waking up... I hope.

6. The shift won't be on the air, but on the ground

You won't be able to tell by watching tv, or thinking some lady wrestler manager or anti-masturbation witchcraft dater can't win.

The only way things will go well for us is if we get our people to the polls. Sign up somewhere to help.

7. They say people start paying attention after Labor Day.

When they see that the Tea baggers have no solutions other than empty slogans the "movement" will fizzle at the polls.

8. In Delaware, sure

In other states, no. Now even Feingold is losing.

9. Yes.

The Democrats could do better than originally thought and the GOP still doesn't have one clue.

I'd like to see Barbara Boxer survive her battle in the Fear Arena.

And we need to support Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, too.

11. No.

Polling has remained pretty consistent over the past two weeks.

Any improvement in the economy between now and November will be too little, too late.

Just call me Little Mary Sunshine.
