RSSOn the Eve of the Midterm Election … What could Be Swaying the Polls? Common Sense?
What was once referred to as a “Big Blue Tidal Wave” is turning into a case of cold sweats for Democratic leaders. Democrats with the aide of a willing media all but said the midterm 
elections were over and that Democrats would control both houses not less than two weeks ago. A funny thing happened on the way to the forum. The momentum has shifted and is on the side on Republicans in so many races. It happened prior to John Kerry’s gaff regarding the military. Another interesting thing is occuring, President George W. Bush’s approval rating is trending upwards.
Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the Democrat leading his party’s effort to win control of the House, said, “It’s inevitable that there would be some tightening in the end.”
Still, Mr. Emanuel, who has been careful this campaign to avoid the public expressions
of optimism voiced by other Democrats, added, “This is making me nervous.”
“I don’t know what to make of it,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. (Washington Post)
What will be the reality when voters walk in to cast their ballots on November 7, 2006?Remember, Democratic leadership have stated they will change things. To what many voters are finally pondering on the even of an election. Why would anyone want to change the following?
Pump prices are now 17.6 cents lower than a year ago and have plummeted by more than 80 cents a gallon since the start of August. The last time prices were below $2.20, on average, was the week ending Dec. 26, 2005.
- The death sentence of Saddam Hussein caused dancing in the streets of Badhdad
Thousands of Iraqis sang, danced and unleashed celebratory bursts of gunfire yesterday as Saddam Hussein finally faced the consequences of his tyrannical rule in a Baghdad courtroom.
- Unemployment Rate at 4.4%, lowest since May 2001.

the good guys will keep control
BLah….BLah….Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah….
Don’t you guys know??? Since they killed our President
in 1962, we haven’t had a fair election. It doesn’t
matter what we think, they are going to have who they
have. That’s it!
Besides, the way they have our electoral voting system
set up the majority doesn’t rule, anyway. What’s the
sense??? It’s not fair anyway.
I’m not going to vote, because I think PoLiTiCs stink.
Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah….Blah…
At heart, I’m a democrat, but what difference does it
make, if we do anything to make things better, the
Republicans come in and make a mess of things anyway,
so what’s the point?
vote democrat and you get higher taxes
ummmmmmmmm… i think i with the conservatives
Quote from Psalm58: Justice? You high and mighty politicians don’t even know the meaning of the word!! Fairness? Which of you has any left? Not one! All of your dealings are crooked; you give “justice” in exchange for bribes. These men are born sinners, lying from their earliest words! They are poisonous as deadly snakes, cobras that close their ears to the most expert of charmers.
Patti,
The electoral college has to do with the Presidency, not state and local elections. I actually like the electoral system … it makes the voting fair in both small and large states. Otherwise, all one would have to do is win CA, NY and MA … sounds like a Democrats dream.
The Federal System in not a Democracy … its a Representative Democracy.
who is they ??
when referring to “they” killed JFK
also, it was 1963
I noticed that too Robots, I just figured I’d stay away
According to todays far left ,,, maybe it was Karl Rove?
R
LOL
yep, i said it months ago and i will say it again
democrats will lose,
cause although they squak about “W” day in and day night
they want the troops and “W” defending this country
when they go to sleep at night… even though they wont admit it to their liberal friends in the daytime
when the dow is up ,and the unemployment and gasoline prices are down,why is it that it’s still cheaper to buy dollars than toilet paper in europe,if the dollar keeps dropping like this,we will be buying dollars for 50 eurocents before the end of the winter!and PATTI,kennedy got shot in 63,november 22 at 1 pm 1963,i’am dutch and even i know that! didn’t you see the movie!LOL!…BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.now go and vote you BITCH!!LOL!!I LOVE YOU!!LOL!
Welllll, Sweetie, they did kill my president… and I just
haven’t really gotten over it… I was just a weeeee child
so I don’t remember what year, but I do remember that day.
And I’m tellin’ ya things just haven’t been the same since.
Everybody got a good education, we were all in P.E. and the
Arts was something you could write home about. Now all they
do is shoot ya at school. No Fun. In fact, I do believe
that we were never such a violent country during the
Kennedy years. Those were the days.
I’m Dutch, too. My grandparents were first generation
American, even though they weren’t citizenized. They
ran a dairy in Colorado. Now my relatives own more land
in Colorado than the Federal and State Government put
together. Most have gotten out of the business of dairy
products and raise sheep and wheat.
Now…. what are we voting on? And don’t you ever call me
that again!!!
