Prediction: Ds Will Do Fine On 11/2; Rs Will Use Their $ To "Pull A Coleman" In All Close Races |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 12:40 PM by stopbush
The Rs have an almost limitless amount of foreign and corporate $ to spend this year.
I believe the Ds are going to do just fine, pick up a few governorships, lose a handful of seats in the House and maybe pick up one Senate seat.
This will go against the narrative that the RWMSM has been pushing for two years, which means that the "wha' happened? Must be vote fraud!" narrative will be used to "justify" Rs not giving up their seats in government, while demanding recounts and even run-off elections wherever there is even a sliver of "doubt" that any D-electing result is valid.
I hope the Ds are ready for this onslaught, because the Rs certainly are. I expect them to challenge almost every race that is within 4 points. I expect the Rs to provide their own exit polling as well that will show that "we really won," even though they have been pushing the "exit polls are no longer reliable" meme for the last two election cycles.
And let's not forget, they have the SCOTUS in their hip pocket as well. Look for the Bush v Gore decision to suddenly be cited as a precedent by the SCOTUS in many races across the country, even though they made a big deal back in 2000 that Bush v Gore was not to be considered a precedent-setting decision.
Or maybe I'm paranoid.

2. You're not paranoid, you're perceptive |

I fully expect the same thing: they will declare every loss to be illegitimate, and challenge the hell out of them all, with millions in legal fees already saved up.

3. Don't forget to throw in Sharon Angle's "second amendment remedies" into the mix |

There will be a lot of stirred up teabaggers, given their delusional view that their fringe minority viewpoint is held by most Americans.
