15. We'll be lucky if we don't lose the Senate.

Doesn't seem fair the other person got banned for saying something similar.  :-)

They forgot about 2010 already. If they keep the Senate it will be for who knows what reason but they are not going to win the House or the White House.

Romney/Ryan 352/182 electoral and 55/44 popular.

HOR gains 12 more republican seats. Senate flips republican 55/45.

I'll make the DUmmies a deal. They can have the house and the illegal muslim alien can keep the Presidency. We'll take the Senate and call it even.

Having the majority in the Senate can shut obama down.

NO appointments to the supreme court. None. Nada.

The DUmmies  and obama would go ape shit.

Well, yeah, that's an advantage.

The disadvantage is that the Senate doesn't do the budget; the House does.

However, the worst possible case doesn't appear to be likely.

I suspect that whatever happens, is going to be closer to jukin's numbers, than to Tucker's expectations.

Maybe not quite as good as what jukin offered us, but closer to his than the worst possible scenario.

I might not have been as clear as I intended.

I am not in any way, shape or form making a predicted win for the jug eared kenyan. I believe the Romney will win it.

The pollsters are in obamas pocket.

The media tries to make news instead of reporting it.

What I mean is that if by some small miracle and obama raising the dead, and wins, given the choice between the two chambers of Congress, I'll take the senate.

Something is going to happen in October, and it isn't going to be good for Teh Obamessiah.  I think that it will be the Israelis attacking Iran, in a decisive way, so as to put the regime there back 5 to 10 years on their quest to be a nuclear power.  This will break late, but it will break towards the RSquared ticket, so much so that their margin of victory will be six to seven points.  Downticket, the bloodbath will be immense.  15 to 20 D House seats will go to the Republicans.  10 to 12 Senate seats will flip to the Republicans.  Hell, one nominal Dem Senator may even decide to flip to the Republicans, similar to Richard Shelby in 1994.

I must disagree slightly with...
"The media tries to make news instead of reporting it."
The media tries to push the news instead of reporting it.
When it comes to polls, which isn't news, they push poll.
In any case they try to set the agenda, not make or report it.

So do I.  Things just seem to be trending that way, Coach.  It's beginning to feel a lot like 2010, since the Ryan pick.  I was concerned about a seriously, perhaps fatally, fragmented opposition to teh Won.  I feel much better.  Many folks who were adamantly against Romney are coming around.  The Democrats have let the mask slip and a lot of dozing voters don't like the ugly Socialist face staring at them

get me some of whatever you are drinking. To gain 12 senate seats we would need to win all 9 toss up seats, all 5 dem leaning seats, flip the Independent in Maine to GOP and also win one of the democrat safe races. I would love for that to happen but the chances of that happening are the same chances that Ron Paul is the republican nominee

You are right about SCOTUS appointments, but Obama is already governing via executive fiat, circumventing the Senate. Untethered in a 2nd term, he could/would put Woodrow Wilson to shame.

The logistics of Teh Obamessiah taking all of the DNC money and not distributing it to any races downticket, plus the Dems choking through Obamacare (which gets more and more unpopular as time goes on), coupled with the Dems haveing to defend 23 seats (as opposed to 10 Republican Senate seats), and Paul Ryan being added to the ticket--he's very smart, and can articulate a clear vision without a teleprompter--all add up to a bloodbath for Dems on the 6th of November.  A 'political tsunami,' if you will.

Plus, check your math.  I said we'd gain 10 to 12 Senate seats.  The 9 toss-ups plus the 5 Dem-leaning seats equals 14, plus Olympia Snowe's and a Dem safe seat equal 16.  And, we don't know what the next 80 or so days are going to bring--except more Dem desperation.

Weve got one GOP safe seat that was dem, so thats +1

the 9 toss ups are 6 dem 3 GOP so thats +6

the 5 lean dem are all dem thats +5

Snowe's seat is R and its a safe ind/dem so we have to flip to to not lose it

so thats what we need to do to pick up the 12 seats

The Obamatsunami is coming--and it'll make the Bander Aceh tsunami of 2004 look like a pebble in a pool.  The problem for the Dems is that it will go waaaaaay against them.

That's a really important factor here.

It's been a long time, a very long time, since a presidential candidate didn't share some of his cash with the national senatorial and house fund-raising committees.

Barack Milhous announced months ago that this time, he's keeping all his dough himself (much to the consternation of the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democrat House Campaign Committee, but their complaints got half a sentence in the "mainstream" news media when this happened).

Obviously Barack Milhous figures he's in trouble this election.

And it's not going to help the Democrats running for the House and the Senate.

THAT is an accomplishment. More selfish that clinnochio. At least clinnochio, even though he got shellacked in his mid terms, ran some campaign money into the party.

I don't think he cares about anybody in congress.  He has already proven he intends ruling by fiat in his second term anyway.
