"NEW ORLEANS — As the 2014 midterm elections barrel toward a close and Democrats brace for losses around the country, operatives in both parties are already preparing for likely runoff elections here and in Georgia — and the chance that control of the Senate will not be determined until next year."

If Dumb Fux Nooz claims the Repugs are "pulling away" how could the result come down to a couple of runoffs? Oh that's right- Librul liez.

1. I think maybe just GA

I think Landrieu(sp?) is going to win in LA.

And Nunn just might pull it off in GA. IF Fulton County gets their asses out to vote - I think she'll win.


Now - I thought it was allllllllllll in the bag and the Republicans were going to win the Senate and America hates itself so they are going to vote for a bunch of fiscal conservatives(lies, lies, more damned lies) who scream God Bless America and No Place Else?

Oh wait? That's not true? It's just two races that hang in the balance? That's interesting.

2. Mary Landrieu always looks like she's about to lose

I'll never forget 1994. Woody Jenkins was polling ahead of her. He was tea bag before tea bag was in style for Republicans.

3. My exact thoughts, how can it be a blow out if it comes down to runoffs. It really highlights what

disgrace the media has become in this country

8. In LA

most incumbents who can't get 50% on election day, do even worse in the run offs.

4. Corporate media ignores massive protects in the USA so

I see them ignoring major ground games (GOTV).

5. Telephone Polls don't mean anything anyway

I am a busy person - aren't we all - and I never answer polls. I say a polite "thank you" and hang up. My husband doesn't answer them either, so there are two dedicated democrats who won't show up there. But we sure as HECK show up when it's time to vote.

6. It's really quite depressing to think about.

Given the destruction of the entire social safety net in the US that the Tea Party candidates are PROMISING to do, they are still going to be voted in by some of the poorest states in the country. You have to admire how the RW has convinced the poorest people that the reason they're so poor is that Obama and the Democrats have taken all their money and given it to "The Blacks".

If you want to see what a conservative USA will look like, take a gander at the conservative paradise of Mississippi.

7. The two states that could end up in run-offs will have us at a serious disadvantage

With only those two the Republicans can throw money at it hand over fist. My take is we'd win Louisiana, but end up losing Georgia in a runoff.

(note: I have donated to Nunn)

9. Sadly I agree.... I don't believe Nunn could win a runoff

We have a Libertarian candidate on the ballot in Georgia who is more than likely siphoning votes from republican David Perdue. In a runoff those who voted for the Libertarian would likely hold their nose and vote republican, not to mention the huge influx of big money supporting the republicans.
