Yanno, I distinctly remember hearing those words sometime back in 2008, coming from you, predicting a McCain landslide - how'd that work out for ya ? Again, remember what I told you about when and how elections are really decided. My guess is, once again I'll be feasting on YOUR tears as you run like a bitch and go hide under a rock for a coupla months, again. -Frem I do not serve the Blind God.

Quote:Forget about that 10 point Republican advantage: Gallup's latest poll showing the generic ballot preferences of registered voters finds a generic Republican tied with a generic Democrat at 46 percent. Last week, Gallup showed Republicans leading 51 percent to 41 percent, fueling speculation about a coming GOP wave in the midterm elections.
Quote:A new poll released Friday by the Las Vegas Review Journal shows Harry Reid and Sharron Angle tied for the lead in the Nevada Senate race, but the poll shows signs of extremely tepid support for Angle among her own supporters. As noted by the Review-Journal's Laura Myers, two thirds of Angle's backers wished another nominee had been selected: Quote:Some 68 percent of those surveyed said they would have preferred if a candidate other than Angle had won the GOP primary. Among them were 71 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of nonpartisans. Among Angle voters, 66 percent said they would have preferred another GOP nominee.

But as you can see, when it comes to "generic" candidates, it's gone up and down the whole time: Polls don't mean shit, in many ways, so it's really silly to predict any kind of landslide until it's HERE. We just have to wait and see, but I think the hyperbole of a Republican "landslide" is pretty silly. For one thing; how about all those places with Tea Party and other third-party candidated? They may go Dem. And those places with extremist candidates? It's one thing to win a primary, another to win a general, and there are signs Republicans in Nevada are having some doubts:Quote:A new poll released Friday by the Las Vegas Review Journal shows Harry Reid and Sharron Angle tied for the lead in the Nevada Senate race, but the poll shows signs of extremely tepid support for Angle among her own supporters.

And no, I'm not desperate (as I'm sure is coming); I'm being realistic. I know Dems will lose seats, but whether they lose House or Senate is still up in the air and we'll just have to wait and see. Something about "counting chickens" comes to mind. Hippie Operative Nikovich Nikita Nicovna Talibani, Contracted Agent of Veritas Oilspillus, code name “Nike”, signing off

Quote:The GOP establishment's support for Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle has begun to dwindle since the controversial Tea Party-backed candidate began campaigning on an unconventional set of values and policies. Perhaps more damaging than Angle's lack of support from many within the Nevada GOP has been the fact that many of the state's most influential Republicans have endorsed her opponent, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
