[dutch508]

I don't think you can. Everything is pointing to a huge shift against the dems.

How do Democrats hold on to a Senate majority this year?
What seats do we need to hold?

Can Landrieu and Pryor manage to get re-elected in LA and AS, respectively?

Jay Rockefeller of W.V. is retiring. That seat will almost certainly go repub

Max Baucus of Wyoming is retiring. So is Tim Johnson of SD. The odds of dems retaining those seats is very slim.

Tom Harkin is retiring. Can dems hold that seat?

What about Begich in Alaska?

these are republican leaning states. Dems need repup candidates who are tea party crazy and will say crazy shit in order to hold the Senate, as well as needing solid dem candidates who are well funded.

16. Do you think the people who vote Republican are really aware of what the Republicans are doing?

While they have their share of crazies, I think the greater problem is people who are completely unaware of what the Republicans are really doing to this country. Remember, they aren't cutting unemployment benefits to hard working people who lost their jobs due to Wall Street, they're government freeloaders who are trying to get a reward for voting Democratic. Just ask Fox news.

if only we could take the vote away from the people because they don't understand what is really going on...

I am assuming it is safe to assume that cali isn't a mole.

How have they won without cheating and yes gerrymandering is cheating.

I can. They have seen what Obama/Reid/Pelosi have done and they are sick of it.  It will take massive voter fraud on the part of the Democra-ticks to keep the senate.

And don't forget Corey Booker in New Jersey. He's going to be outed by Lonegan's successor to the Tea Party throne, Rich Pezzullo.

...and don't count that out.

[DumbAss Tanker]

It's just a damn' shame that getting 60 seats is out of reach, the last two years of Obozo's Imperial reign would be ever so much fun if filibuster was out of the question and veto overrides were on the table.

I wouldn't put it past the leftists and the chief leftist to pull an emergency powers act before the 2016 election.

I never thought this way before Barry took power, but will all the shit they have pulled so far?

My wife feels the same way.

I thought that too, some time back, but not now.  I think Barry is bored and really isn't enjoying his job and wants out of it.  Michelle has never made of secret of how much she dislikes it.

I think that the country is so pissed at the left right now (look how many democrats don't want the curtain hanging dictator anywhere near them during their campaign) there won't be enough close races for them to steal enough votes to win.

I wouldn't be surprised if a a few RINOs find themselves out of a job as well. I've never seen the country like this. A very wide majority think the country is headed in the wrong direction, they can't trust their government (0bama) and who think corruption is one of the most important issue facing us today.

Besides, everytime things get really bad, we elect adults to fix it. A couple of elections later, the people forget and elect incompetent, leftist boobs again. I seriously doubt Karl Rove and the Chamber of Commerce will have the kind of success they think they'll have. Throwing money at RINOs isn't going to work. When the presidential election rolls around, I don't think a RINO will make it through the primaries. The base is pissed and we're quite aware the establishment is no better than the left.

Donations to Rove's PAC went down 98 percent after he announced that his group would go after the Tea Party.
