Theories on what's behind the Democratic mini-surge?

[RandySF]

I think three things are in play:

1. September is "911 month" and Republicans always pull up a bit.
2. ISIS is fading from the news headlines and Republicans don't seem able to cash in on Ebola.
3. Democrats are starting to pay attention.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

1. Not sure, but I hope we are peaking at the right time.

There were good employment numbers last week and Pres. Obama has gone up in the polls.

Probably a combination of things. I think people are just starting to pay attention.

2. I am hoping we are peaking at the right time also!

The signs are hopeful!!!

6. There are a lot things breaking our way just now.

More jobs were created in September.
The economy seems to be growing faster than expected.
And Michelle Bachmann isn't running for re-election.

So, we've got that going for us.

7. Excellent!

9. Republicans are being crushed by the accumulated weight of Bullshit Mountain.

10. They don't call it a landslide for nuttin'.

You wait, when Bullshit Mountain starts sliding, half of this country is going to be 5 feet higher in elevation that it was the week before!

Those states will be covered in 5 feet of bullshit that the Republicans have been piling up like there was no tomorrow.

Because for them Republicans . . . there is no tomorrow!

3. Paranoid me thinks the media is saying this to get the voters complacent and not show up.

4. 4. The media are full of idiots

5. The public doesn't even start to pay any attention to an election until September...

after summer, once the kids are back in school and they are back at work (those who are lucky enough to have holidays).

I think this is certainly a factor.

8. "It's the economy, dummy"...which is why the major media are so much avoiding any talk of it.
