I am glad that Erick has done the research that proves me to be correct. Over the last few weeks I have made a few comments to various posts that the Dem-libs saw 1994 coming and refused to believe it and that is 1994 they had the lamestream media to back them up and the money to throw dirt on the GOP.

This year the exact same thing is happening. Only this time, despite the Dem-libs and media’s wishfule thinking, the GOP wave will be even greater. The House will flip and the Senate will go also.

Don’t be discouraged by the lamestream media. Work for your candidates and get out the vote.

We know there’s an “enthusiasm gap” out there, but I don’t know that anybody’s tried to quantify it beyond their normal “likely voter” analysis.

Sure, the polls have been mostly on track with the primary elections, but I wouldn’t expect to see such an enthusiasm gap play much of a role in intra-party politics.

I keep flashing back to the Prop C vote in MO this summer; one of the few “Left v. Right” elections we’ve had this year. If you’ll recall, the actual results looked nothing like the polls.

My guess is that the pollsters are relying heavily on past voting behavior in screening people for their “likely” label. People without a strong record of voting may be coming out of the woodwork this year to make a difference.

if they were simultaneously running the results of polls that show how much the American public universally loathes and distrusts the media at this point.

Then we could talk. But mostly to point and laugh.

I will crawl across broken glass, in order to cast my vote on Nov. 2nd. I think many Americans have a similar attitude, includingmany that haven’t been engaged in the political process in years past. I don’t think the dims are nearly as fired up. I still think that we will win a significant percentage of races that are within the margin of error – simply because of turnout.

For the sake of the country, I hope I’m right.

That is, by promoting the message that the Democrats are coming up, they hope to flog enthusiasm among Democratic voters to encourage them to go to the polls.

That is, for those Democrats who’ve gotten discouraged and would likely decide to stay home, when the media says it’s a close race, then they are more likely to show up thinking their vote may make a difference after all.

In turn, if the number of Democrats in the “likely voter” category increase, that would start a shift in the polling numbers towards the Democrats, which in turn would reinforce the meme.

That’s the plan, anyway

Seems like a hail Mary effort to turn the numbers sponsored by your mainstream media public relations arm of the DNC.

But since the media have never before been so unitary in their promotion of the Democratic Party, we don’t have historical precedent to know how this coordinated action will affect races, particularly the ones that are close today.

But given that wavering Democrats are more likely to give credence to the media than the general population…well, enough with the speculating.

We’ll just have to see how honest pollsters measure what impact, if any, this media blitz will have. Hopefully we’ll have some answers in the next few days to week.

..It’s striking up the whole stinkin’ band!

Don’t forget the degree to which the last election skews the poll samples. But, even more important than this, is the inability of most liberal elite observers and political operatives (Think Schrum) to accept the degree to which they are a cultural minority, and have been for at least 80 years.

ALL of the presidential elections in the last 100 years that resulted in Liberal/Statist/Progressive victories were the product of twisted electoral math or extraordinary circumstances. 1912? TR bolted into a third party egoist run, resulting in Wilson. 1932? Obviously the deepening of the depression (and FDR barely got the renomination of his party in 1940), 1964? Mourning for JFK. 1976? Ghosts of Watergate. 1992? Ross Perot siphoning off natural libertarians from G.H.W. Bush. 2008? Currency speculation by George Soros to implode the American economy at precisely the right time for Obama.

NEVER in recent American history has “Progressivism” ever dominated on its merits, and it won’t this election, either.

“Dear ABC, CBS AND NBC: Please just come out and admit that you work for Democrats already”.

Put this in WSJ, billboard, or TV ad. Go viral on YouRube. I’ve had enough of them carrying water and pretending to be objective.

OUR October surprise should be us attacking the media exactly like they attack Conservatives. The only difference would be they can’t take it.

Start the fund RS and get other sites to post where to give to go after Couric, Lauer and all the other commies. I’m in for a hunny.

of where the *facts* say this race is based on 3 or so scenarios. It’s good stuff. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/morning-jay-special-state-race-edition

Bottom line – Absolute best case for the Dems: Control of Congress in name only; Most ‘reasonable’ result based on polls and the history: 50+ seats for Republicans. Best case for Pubs? – a bloodbath for the Dems of unprecedented proportions in the last 100 years.

And support for the repeal of Obamacare is way down, as well. Something is going on, but I’m not sure what. Maybe all the Dem advertising is having an effect? Maybe the GOP did peak too soon? Maybe voters are just now paying attention? GOP candidates running crappy campaigns?

The thought that comes to mind is Reagan relating to the Russians – “Trust but verify”. Yes, I believe the same thing is happening with the main stream press trying to drum up support for the dems, (trust), but we need to make SURE that our side wins (verify). I think all can agree that this is a strange year. Races that few expected to be close are and “safe” Congresscritters suddenly not feeling so safe. Add to that the trend in polling problems related to more and more people not having “land lines” and only relying on cell phones, and the polls could be severely out of whack.

Polls say that we are ahead – OK. Polls say we are behind – OK. I don’t care either way. We have to ACT like we are 5 points behind in the polls. Work hard people – we are only a month away.

And the mood is very different than a few weeks ago. To be honest, there was not only confidence, but maybe overconfidence bordering on cockiness a little while ago. Now, I hear things like “if we lose this…”. WI is being blitzkrieged by ads against Walker, and he has almost gone totally “dark” in response due to having to spend his money in the primary.

IMO, if polls start to show a real tightening (or God forbid, the Dems take the lead), things will get real ugly real fast. The success in the polls was breeding interest, confidence and energy. Volunteers (like myself) are crucial for GOTV efforts, and our numbers did go up when things looked like they were breaking our way.

If you can spare any cash, Scott Walker could sure use some help!!

Our honest conversation concerning the election should be short and sweet in this era of soundbites. A vote for a Democrat is a vote for communism pure and simple. A Democrats voting record reveals how he voted with the party leadership’s demand well over 90% of the time so for him to say he votes for his constituents or he is an independent is a big fat lie. The leadership of the Democratic Party votes and supports communistic policy and until we fire all Democrats and start over America in a few short years will find themselves in an irreversible communist state of being.

Thank you, Erick, for a happy morning start. The recent polls showing Democratic gains have been a bit frightening, though I suspected they might have been purposefully pumped up by some fawning pollsters in order to help push reluctant donors and voters to get involved in the Democratic lost causes. I find myself suspicious and questioning everything these days; a sad sign of the times we are in. I will trust this offering from you today. Thanks again!

I have taken two polls lately. Both offered answers that some were right on and easy. But a few questions none of the answers given were the answer I would of put. You cannot skip that question. I feel those polls are rigged. I am not a poll taker very often, so maybe it was me.
I asked Zogby a few years ago how when rating someone fair that is interpreted. It is negative. Everyone should know that.

Get out and work for your candidates. Get them elected, get out the conservative vote. We will sort it out on November 3rd.

about the LSM, as much as I do the union presence. A friend of mine, who is God fearing Republican is a Union member around here, and he is saying that the pressure is on across the board for volunteers to sign up as election judges, as well as other poll workers, as well as getting out and pounding the pavement for the D candidates around here.(Quinn, Giannouliass, especially) He has also seen/heard of some co-ordination between unions, for election day “activities” and it almost always included SEIU people. I am not sure what to make about any of this, but I am anticipating problems on November 2nd, even though I am an election judge at a polling place in a small precinct in the town I live in. I do remember the mood, even during the primary election, plenty of angry voters, looking for a change to happen, both at a local level as well as State and Congressional. I don’t have the numbers, but I do remember passing out quite a few Republican ballots. We also had a few people who came in, who hadn’t (or so the claimed) voted in years, and were voting to start the process toward change.

My friend has told me, though, that the pressure to vote Dem from the Union bosses is more than he has ever seen in the 25 years he has been in the Union. He has been asked repeatedly, who he is voting for by the handful of activists where he works.

I am predicting voter fraud on a truly massive scale come Nov 2. I have said it before, and will say it again. The Commie/Socialist left hasn’t been this close to completely taking over EVER, they are not going to go quietly, or without a fight. In some places, I strongly feel that this is not going to be an election, it is going to be a street fight.

Be ready for the aftermath folks… it’s going to be ugly.

I will not listen to my enemy tell me I am losing. Even when I wipe away the blood from my eyes so that I can see the fear in his eyes, I will tighten my grip around his throat. And I will not release my grip until his limp and lifeless form falls to the ground. I am committed to combat until well after Nov. 2012. Their polls simply tell me that the bear is wounded, uninjured bears don’t make much noise. Let’s take back our government and retire Zerobama back to Kenya.
