GOP Nosedive!

[longship]

To illustrate the depth of GOP problems this year Daily Kos is reporting three new and important stories that are becoming all too typical of this election cycle.

WY-AL: NRCC swoops in to rescue Cubin; also CA-04 and CA-11
Chairman Governor Doctor Dean's fifty state strategy is paying off better than anybody ever could have predicted. What can one say when the GOP has to devote resources to defend "safe" seats? The answer is, "No seat is safe for the Repukes."

The Colorado Democratic surge
Two more Colorado races switch to "Leans Democratic" at CQ Politics. The GOP is bleeding to death this year.

No wonder GOP freaking out at Michael J. Fox ad
We're talking a significant swing (10%) to the Democrats solely from Michael J. Fox's stem-cell advertisement. This is on top of a possibly even larger swing from the Foley mess. (Reuters/Zogby poll indicating 22% swing from Foley--FACTBOX-Reuters/Zogby poll findings before U.S. election). If this is really true, there's going to be plenty of "close" races which are not going to be close on November 7th.

No wonder Stuart Rothenberg is saying How High the Wave? Don’t Just Think 1994; Think 1974, 1958, 1982

Stay the Course, DU! Work hard. We need to get all we deserve.

on edit: More concise title. Fact correct and citation to Foley poll.

2. Thank you. Nice to run into posts on DU that affirm our chances in

the 2006 midterms.

That offer momentum and uplift.

I love Democrats who love Democrats.

Agree with your clarion call. Let's ratchet up the intensity and sweep every damn seat we can from those hacks and flunkies.

3. Roanld Reagan Jr. should do a commercial for stem cell research

remember when he talked about it at the Democratic Convention, he spoke in simple terms about it, and the people understood exactly how valuable stem cell research is.

4. Let's write him and ask him to do that.

He's a good guy. Maybe he'll do it.

12. I think I should wear this shirt as often as possible out in public.

It's one of my favorite snarky t-shirts and I have about 100 t-shirts.

8. "Chairman Governor Doctor Dean"

You're only supposed to use one of those titles - Chairman or Governor or Doctor. Usually the LAST title that they've had (Chairman).

11. Literary license, my friend.

I wasn't trying to be proper. I was trying to stick it to any Freeper observers.

9. I think there will be higher than normal turnout

for a midterm and we will be pleasantly surprised as the election results come in on Tuesday night / Wed morning. This election has become a referendum on Raisinbrain and his cabal.

10. I just got this from DSCC

Dear James,

Yesterday, the GOP made a desperate last attempt to grab the Democratic Senate seat in New Jersey when they dumped $3.5 million into the Garden State to pay for a barrage of attack ads against our incumbent Bob Menendez.


But thanks to the unbelievably generous support you just gave to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), we have a $4 million advertising campaign running right now in support of Senator Menendez.


In other words, we were ready for everything the Republicans had in store. We cannot thank you enough.


Bob Menendez is leading his opponent right now with just 12 days to go until the election and because of you, it's likely to stay that way. When Republicans spring a surprise like this, you give us the resources to turn on a dime and instantly respond.


What's more, every dollar Republicans spend in their futile attempt to take New Jersey is a dollar they are not spending in battleground states like Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia. They are on the run and it is you that put them there.


We are going to win and because of your amazing support, we have a chance to win big on November 7. Our work is far from over. But you have made all the difference for our candidates thus far and I hope we can continue to count on you in these crucial final days.


Sincerely,

[al bupp]
