Check out the Senate races: Currently there's 44 Democratic seats and one Independent who will vote with us. That's 45. We need to pick up 6 seats. 5 seats won't be enough because that will make it a tie at 50-50, and Darth Cheney would use his tie breaking authority to give the pukes an effective majority.
A January 19
WSJ battleground states poll showed we would end up about the same, with 54 pukes, 44 Democrats, 1 Independent, and 1 categorized as a mixed/tie. A closer examination shows the strongest Democrat was ahead 50.8% to 39.9% in the mixed/tie race, so let's just say we stood to pick up that one seat.
But wait, there's more! We've made some gains since the WSJ poll was published.
The WSJ poll showed Talent(R) was ahead by 3.9% in the Missouri race, but
a March 11 Rasmussen poll shows that McCaskill (D) now leads 43% to 40%. Yay!
Corizone (D) was behind in the NJ race by 4.8%, but a
February 14 Rasmussen poll shows him ahead now, 39% to 36%. Yay!
But we have blown a 6.9% lead in Ohio and Brown (D)
is now behind 46% to 37%, possibly due to fallout from Hackett's withdrawal from the race. I think that will come back around before November.
RemoveRepublicans.com, which provides information more recent than the WSJ poll, shows 43 Senate seats as safe Democratic wins, 1 safe Independent, 3 weak Democratic, and 5 tossups. With all of these seats we are currently projected to win, and with 4 out of the 5 tossups, we will take control of the Senate.
And things are trending our way, and the pukes have nothing to look forward to but bad news.
Their culture of corruption is being exposed for all to see, with a constant supply of revealations probable. Most Americans now disapprove of the Bush cartel's invasion of Iraq, and there is every reason to expect that things there will get worse. People are worried the neocons are going to rush headlong into an insane attack against Iran. There's 60% of us who are opposed to outlawing abortions. The South Dakota headlines are waking some of these people up, and will bring them to the polls in November. Most recently with Pat Roberts' shameful
blocking of an investigation into Bush's NSA spying crimes, more are becoming aware that Congress will exercise absolutely no oversight over the Bush regieme, so long as they remain under majority control by the pukes. Bush's tax cuts for his wealthy elite base have done nothing positive for the economy, instead resulting in the biggest deficits in history.
All these 5 years I have wondered how much worse things would have to get before people would wake up and vote the pukes out. I think we have reached that point. I predict we will retake control of both the Senate and House this November.
