primitives predict victory

[Boudicca]

Boud, it's ultra-geek shorthand for the alien of the Alien movies. I say ultra, because it's also laughed at by the space marines in Aliens when their Lieutenant, Gorman, calls the alien that, so it has some slight in-jokiness to it too, in a sad, we-think-Star-Trek-is-real-lame way.

I'm sorry, fictional, murderous, parasitizing, hideous aliens of the Alien movie franchise. Comparing you to the DU was a slur on all self-respecting, rapacious acid-blooded carnivores everywhere who lay eggs that spawn facehugging parasites that then lay their eggs in humans and other animals, to grow and burst out, killing the host.


Now, if someone would be so kind as to kill me, please.

Dude, seriously, no prob.  I'm sure the rapacious, acid-blooded carnivores forgive you for equating them with DUmpizens.  Next time though, show them some respect.  They can get up in the morning and know they didn't vote for Obama, unlike the DUmbshits.

DEMOCRATS MAINTAIN CONTROL OF HOUSE AND SENATE:

Several very close races went Democratic leaving Republicans in disarray.

Republican leaders say they are willing to work with the President.

26. Democdrats are going to keep the Senate and increase the number of seats they have now. They will most likely end up with between 54 and 55 seats, but no less than 51 and a possibility of 58 at most.

Iow, Republicans have zero chance of winning the Senate.

As far as the House is concerned, no one knows, since one third of potential voters still haven't made up their minds.

Politico needs some new political analysts.

I'm betting on Dems winning the Senate with 54 seats at least.

Polls right now are all outliers. The actual final poll will be released late Wednesday Morning when all the perceints are counted.

I would not trust these polls as far as I'd throw.

They don't count for early voting either.

All your scenarios here are less than they have now, brainiac. Unless, the Democdrats do pick up at least one seat.

7. Seattle Times predicting we'll keep senate and house... 

Matt Barreto, a political-science professor at the University of Washington, said his recent polling suggests Democrats likely will prevail in the Senate and congressional races, in part because tea-party voters don't seem as motivated in this state as they do in others. But win or lose, he said, Democrats should stand warned.

1. It is possible.

I don't think there is a real chance the Dems will lose the Senate.

I also don't think we'll see a 40-50 seat loss in the House. I think we will lose somewhere in the 25-30 range.

4. Earlier I was thinking 20-35 with my guess being 32 seats lost in the House.

I've bumped it to 25-30. Little chance of the Senate flipping though.

m$nbc bullshit: Poll suggests Dems will face 'hurricane winds'
   
can you believe this shit? nice headline

Republicans remain on course to make
substantial midterm gains across the country
and to win control of at least one chamber of
Congress, according to the final NBC
News/Wall Street Journal poll before Tuesday’
s elections.

Nearly 50 percent of likely voters prefer a
GOP-controlled Congress, which is virtually
unchanged from the poll taken two weeks ago;
a plurality of all registered voters say it would
be a “good thing” if Republicans were in
charge of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate;
and almost two-thirds — including about half
of Democrats — want to see a significant
amount of change in the way President Barack
Obama has been leading the country.

“This is a devastating set of data for the
incumbent party,” says GOP pollster Bill
McInturff, who conducted the survey with
Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. “It is a
rebuke to the last two years.”

On Election Day, Hart adds, “The Democrats
are about to feel the force of hurricane winds.”

3. The exact opposite of what I been posting.
   
Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 01:04 PM by RandomThoughts
So lets see, if the Republicans win seats, they can then say I was wrong and they were right, and if the Democrats win they would say my comments supported the Republicans.

Sounds like a game.

The arguments from the democrats, assuming the news stories and interviews are correct, are better. Although that assumes they are doing what I assume they are.

However neither have corrected the beer and travel money situation, so one day is not going to make a huge difference.

Furthermore, the news seems to have attached my comments to the Republicans which also makes no sense.

There is humor in it though.

What?

4. A concerted and relentless effort to supress the Democratic Vote
   
I was phonebanking last night and talked to an elderly woman (81 years old).

She was a lifelong democrat and told me how much it bothers her to hear the constant drumbeat of "Democrats will lose".

Yeah. Pelosi has been pretty bummed lately.

5. I don't believe any of this
   
I really don't think the Repubs are going to take the House. I think it is all wishful thinking and bad polling. And I also think many Dems will wake up and get out to vote, and many Independents will have second thoughts before voting for the party of Loons and Orange Men.

I am predicting Tuesday will not end well for the GOP
   
They have a few problems:

Problem 1: Mitch McConnell's statement that the most important job facing the next Congress is making sure President Obama isn't reelected. I'm fairly certain people with no job, or being thrown out of their homes thanks to mortgage fraud, have a different opinion.

Before the deamoncRATS overthrew Congress in 2006, none of that "no job and home foreclosing" shit existed on the huge scale it does now, after four years of deamoncRAT Congressional "leadership" and two years of the jug-eared Kenyan national occupying the White Mosque!

Funny thing, that...

Don't hold your breath. Here in Oregon I'd be surprised if I didn't wake up with a new Republican governor. And while I think DeFazio will probably pull it out in the end, Art Robinson is doing better against him than anyone has in a very long time.

Even PsychCentral's member poll shows a majority of members voting Republican. You know it's bad when crazy people (that's NOT a slam...I'm a member too) are sick of the left. These are people who depend on meds just to get through the day so health care policy is very important to them. Evidently the "hope n change" health care legislation isn't all lollipops and prozac after all.

Cindie...I live in fairly conservative Albany and have been following both races closely. I have had previous dealings with DeFazio about ten years ago when I wrote a letter to the editor pointing out, with web site link, his Sr. board membership with the Democratic Socialists of America. What a shit-storm ensued - DeFazio enlisted a legion of his robots writing response letters calling my a liar (follow the web site link morons) or trying to discredit me. Needless to say, the socialists membership roster, all politicians were members of the Progressive Caucus, was removed from their web site within 24 hours of my letter being published.

Now both DeFazio and Kitzhaber are slinging piles of outright lies and mud. I think we have a good shot at the governorship but DeFazio...lots of doped up commie hippies in the I-5 corridor that support their commie-in-kind DeFazio.

On the eve of the election, I do not see gloom and doom. Here's why:

Democrats are turning out in high numbers for this mid-term election. That's now an established fact. Early voting is going our way. Republicans have shot their wad early and we continue to keep showing up to the polls and voting. Every day that passed was a day in our favor.

The lack of cell phone polling makes the establishment poll numbers skewed. That's a fact.

Young people are once again, bucking the conventional wisdom, and are actively participating in this election, establishing a very positive trend. And that's not good news for the GOP.

Latino voting is up this year again. The GOP attempt to suppress their votes has failed.

LBGT Americans are not thrilled with the GOP, but will be showing up overwhelmingly and voting Blue.

The GOP and their Tea Party crowd are at each other's throats.

Democrats have far better and longer established GOTV organizations on the ground.

Finally, I expect another "Reverse Bradley" effect, where a citizen will say one thing publicly and vote another way privately. They may tell a pollster that they are pissed off, and they may tell everyone around them they are voting Republican, but when they are alone, they may do just the opposite as reason prevails.

Americans have not forgotten who caused the economic mess. Americans are not in love with the Republican Party. It is just delusional to believe so.

We will still control the Senate and not by a slim majority either. And we may be able to still hold on to the House of Representatives.

We are the majority. Don't forget that.

Stop the with the gloom and doom and get out the vote where you can help.

The next 24 hours favor us. We are the majority party in America. Let's show them we are.

The Dim base is motivated to get out and vote. The problem that the DUmbasses fail to see is that they're motivated to boot out the oBam-Bam lovers.

We were just given our Health Insurance info for the year. It's not pretty, we'll all suffer  but they're not killing anyone but the smokers this year. Get any group of employees together and mention the word Insurance and there's a huge amount of grumbling and mumbling with the words ****ing obamacare being uttered under someones breath. Nobody is happy about the way things are going.

Not to mention the marijuana initiative. That'll bring 'em out if they're not too stoned to fill out their ballot and drive it down to their local library. I live in Douglas County which is also conservative. I actually didn't think Albany was being so close to Salem. But even in Cottage Grove that has its share of complete moonbats I see more Robinson and Dudley signs than I do dems. I'd settle for the governorship, though. If Oregon reelects Kitzhaber after the mess he left and then declaring the state ungovernable then we'll be California-lite in no time.
