It's goingto be harder for repubs to take the House than people think.
Sure they need 39 seats and they're not as vunerable as we are but it's not a foregone conclusion yet. There are some repub seats that are vunerable about 6 of them. In order to win they'll have to pull the same trick the dems pulled back in 2006 and not lose a seat. I don't think they can do it. Plus alot of our incumbents have a cash advantage and the repub recuiting really isn't as strong as the media makes it out to be. Here's the 538 map. http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/house. NOthing is written in stone yet.

Just thought it might be funny.

Dividing up words is a bad idea. But there are some funny ones.

2. The DNC has twice as much money as the RNC...
.... and, contrary to popular belief, we aint spendin it all on bean pies if you get my drift.

The President said the key phrase during his interview on Sunday, "I'm gonna do my part to make the case to the country why we dont want to go back to the way things were."

That's all I needed to hear.

15. If money was that important, Rockefeller & Kerry & Perot
Edited on Wed Sep-01-10 06:58 PM by golfguru
would have become presidents. Money helps to get the message out
of course but there also has to be a message that voters like.

5. The only politicians less popular than Congressional Democrats
are Congressional Republicans. They won't be in charge next year.

10. How many House races are in play as a result of Democrats holding a money edge
over Republicans in so called Republican districts. Such as in the Indiana 3rd? Where the Republican incumbent resigned due to an affair.

12. I don't know, craigmatic -- I have a feeling there are going to be quite a few
stolen elections. The way the media is talking up Boner possibly becoming the Speaker of the House, it does sound like it's written in stone.

You've given me hope, though. :hi:

13. sorry dont agree ...
There are a lot of desperate Americans out there right now that have been out of work and some
are already financially devastated in ways they may never recover from.

...and before someone replys ... "well they wont do any better with the Repubs" .... your assuming people are
thinking clearly these days .... they arnt ... they want action and they want it yesturday.

When they see NO HOPE at all (as I believe some areas are seeing) there going to go with human instinct
and vote for anything OTHER than whos currently in control.

The real problem is Democrats cant see the forest for the trees, there needs to be a plan well thought out
well articulated and in multiple parts presented to the people ... this is what were going to do to get you back
to work
A
B
C
D ... etc.

Continual talking points, pot shots at Republicans and blaming Bush are NOT GOING to win elections.

The people need to see a clear plan, its path and the beginnings of its implementation before the elections.
