Go fast before it goes off the page...

1. I'm telling you theres something in the

Fear the beard campaign. All the dems (including pelosi) need to gear big thick brian wilson like beards lol

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. RLOL

I cannot wait for them to hold it, and Chris, Chuck and the rest to get egg in face...

[PopSixSquish]

2. Nancy Pelosi Rocks!!

And she can count votes! She's never lost a floor vote in the House.

[gratuitous]

4. Two words: Impossible

We've already heard all the stories, and the popular media have their narrative set. The Republicans just can't lose! All last night, the correspondents for NBC were practically knocking each other out of the way with the latest breathless reports on Boehner measuring the Speaker's office for new drapes, and how all the committee chairmanships were getting rearranged.

Looks like the Republicans will have to dust off their "voter fraud" stories again.

18. But if it's on TV doesn't that make it true?

:sarcasm:

19. Exactly

Teevee doesn't lie to me; it's always been my friend.

5. All Hail the Bearded Lady. Kick the Tires and Light the Fires! We're going to hold it folks!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. I think some of us looking at the internals of polls

figured why a while ago...

They will lose some seats... I don't expect 1934 quite honestly... that would be really a shocker.

[Aramchek]

16. I haven't seen a poll that's had us down among registered voters.

Anything beyond that is BS fuzzy math

Likely Voters, my ass!

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Well it is the population they're polling

for it, they are accurate. The people coming out to vote are not who they are polling, mostly.

[laughingliberal]

6. K & R nt

7. Well, I will say this about that: I hope she is right. And, if the Dems

keep the House and Senate all of the pundits who heralded the "tsunami" should immediately be tarred and feathered (with REAL tar and REAL feathers) and should be fired (sacked) and never heard from again forever and ever. They will have enough collective egg on their ugly faces to fix an omelette for every man, woman, and child on earth. IMO.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. The polling companies will have to REVISE

all their methodology... also realize this is the SECOND off year election that has historically high turn outs. This higher than last.

We call that a trend.

[Kennah]

10. As one who already takes meds for GERD ...

... the rest of y'all can join in the fun sure to last days or weeks. Pick up some OTC omeprazole.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Taking two thank you, on doctor's orders

[get the red out]

12. The only time I've ever been polled on my cell phone

Was for our Mayoral race this year.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I know there was ONE poll reaching cell phone users

the gap disappeared...

[AspenRose]

14. Too early for me to relax just yet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Fun has just begun to be honest

[thecrow]

20. Our Republic *cough* congress critter used Nancy Pelosi today

stating the our Democratic incumbent "voted 87% of the time with Nancy Pelosi"
I wanted to take that campaign sign and write THANK GOD! all over it.

Our polls had a heavy turnout during the noon hour today.

Did I mention that the R's guy is a TEABAG?
Or that this is the second time he's run against our congressman??

Pray that the Dems win northern VA.

[Arkana]

21. Now she has to do this--show up at her next press availability with a beard on.

[seabeyond]

22. i have felt from beginning we would keep both. still did today. good to hear ONE person

on tv say possible.

[USArmyParatrooper]

23. I dare not hope...

But MAN if they held it that would be awesome! My XO was throwing in my face the "ass whooping" the Republicans are going to give the Democrats today. He guaranteed they would at least take the house.

Of course my first priority is that the Democrats control the agenda. But I have to admit being able to zing him as well would be a nice cherry on top.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. The turn out has been historically high

so I do believe we are all for a pleasant surprise. The range of control will be VERY NARROW, if we pull this, but I think she is onto something.

[zbdent]

24. "fear the beard" sure hits me in a way that the Giants fans probably

didn't mean ...
