Even Joe Scar had to grudgingly admit this election doesn't look like a "wave" for the repubs!

They were going through the different races on Morning Joe today. I think Joe sees some handwriting on the wall...this could be an upset for the Dems...

1. I'm getting so sick of all the ARMAGEDDON IN NOVEMBER e-mails from Dems

this year that I feel like I've been punched & I'm feeling demoralized. I've started unsubscribing because I can't take all the screaming mimi e-mails telling me if I don't donate at least $3 by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, I will be singlehandedly responsible for a Democratic apocalypse all over the country.

It makes me think it's futile, so why bother voting? Of course I will vote, but they've laid it on waaaaaaaay too thick this year.

backfiring. Peters has steadily increased his lead since March. What a relief. I love seeing those vile people wasting millions of $, just like they did in 2012.

Let's hope and pray that at long last we are winning on the economic issues and the American people have woken up to the fact that the game is rigged against them. "Liberal" may not be a dirty name after all!

Which before the last few months was always the final? We will lose 3 seats. That is it! Hopefully less but that is the MOST!

I haven't seen anything pointing to a GOP wave, except bluster from the usual RNC PR BS'ers.

on TV, radio, local redneck papers, even telephone calls. This is in the Florida Panhandle (where Genghis Khan is viewed as too liberal). Wonder if he's pouring big bucks into the more Democratic areas of Florida. Have yet to see a Charlie Crist ad on TV.
