Silver's forecast says the GOP is likely to do particularly well in the swing states of the Midwest. Endangered Democrats include Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio, who is trailing Republican Rep. John Kasich in polls; Gov. Chet Culver of Iowa, who has consistently been behind former Republican Gov. Terry Branstad; and Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich's successor, who is running behind Republican state Sen. Bill Brady.Aol is so republican biased that nothing they print can be believed when it comes to the coming elections in November. It's a different story if you talk to someone from the States they are pushing for republican wins. The tea party is splitting the republican vote and many real republicans will not vote for a candidate that is sponsored by these people. Independents are not tea party supporters and they will lose many of those votes as well.

We'll see how they handle their states woes and state labor unions. 1st thing 1st will be to see how they will reduce the balloted governors staffs of the former Democratic counterparts. I would think they should pledge a 20% reduction or so as a sign they mean business, (unless of course, they don't really care about cost cutting)

Until last November, the Dems even had a super majority in the Senate. The Dems did pass Obama care, without any GOP votes, so that wasn't blocked. Cap & Trade passed in the House, but the super majority Dems in the Senate could not agree on it. They didn't need any GOP votes. The Dems passed the financial reform bill with GOP votes. No blockage there. Obama's two choices for the Supreme Court were approved, so no block there. he DEms raised the minimum wage, with GOP votes. So, explain to me again how the Republicans blocked everything the Democrats wanted to do?

The two Senators Stabenow and Levin told me they were both for Illegal Alien amnesty , Government take over of health care , and a new National VAT Tax which Levin said he was working on creating. The only reason these two are safe is that they are not up for re-election until 2012. Every other Demovrat in Michigan is History though. They were afraid to even have Town Halls here because we were in recession 1.5 years before everyone else was in the country...just a year after the Democrats took both Houses in 2006.

What does she get for this?? A law suit by the Justice Department. And, this week, we have the State Department after her by filing with the United Nations Commission of Human Rights to look into this. Who is on the commission???Libya and Cuba. Can you believe that this administration has to go to an INTERNATIONAL BODY to protect the people of Mexico from the taxpaying people of Arizona??? And people are talking about a rug in his office today??? I have never in all my years anticipated an upcoming election I just hope the American people have been paying attention.

Polls don't matter, whose in office don't matter, and most of us don't matter. Watch what you say and teach your children they are watching you and God is too. We are all brothers and sisters of one God, and there was only one Adam and Eve. I guess that means love all those republicans,democrats and any other party alike.

September 05 2010 at 4:45 PM Report abuse Permalink +17 rate up rate down ReplyBush blew it with the Prescription Drug Benefit, No Child Left Behind, The Patriot Act, and trying to bring Democracy to a stone-age culture, but he did reduce the crushing tax burden on those of us that actually produce things and he did put sensible Supreme Court justices in place. Obama, Pelosi and Reed are on a crusade to bring the "wealthy" small business owners (that earn over $200,000 per household) down to the level of a relatively successful Welfare Queen, making, say $30,000. If the Republicans gain the majority in the House and Senate, they have the opportunity to slow the destruction of our middle class, but if they vote like RINO's then Obama will win in 2012. If they stay true to conservative principles of individual rights and limited government then they will all be re-elected in 2012 and a Republican will win the White House. here's where it gets scary. If it's McCain or some other RINO then we'll be bogged down in PORK and progressive policy for 4 years and no Republican will ever get elected again. The best we can hope for if this happens is Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas breaking off from the Union and advertising for folks that believe in individual liberty and responsibility to move there.
