Democrats in Big Trouble … Rasmussen Predicting Republicans 55 Seat Pick Up in Races for the US House
RUT-ROH … 16 days before the 2010 midterm elections and Rasmussen predicting huge wins for the GOP.
The question as to whether Republicans will pick up the necessary 39 House seats to regain control of the US House of Representatives seem to be a forgone conclusion by many pollsters and pundits. The question more is, who can be the most precise and nail the exact number. Scott Rasmussen is on record as saying that the GOP will pick up 55 seats in this years 2010 midterm election … can you say Mr. Speaker John Boehner.
With all due respect to the Obama Kool-Aid drinking spinmeisters who claim the Democrats will regain the House in 2010, Republicans will have the majority by the time the voting counts hit the Mississippi River. Obama, Biden, Gibbs, et all can talk their rosy game, the fact of the matter is … all polls do not lie. The past two years should have all been about the economy, the economy, the economy, but instead Obama, Pelosi and Reid have made it about their liberal agenda. There will be hell to pay on November 2, 2010.
Nationally-recognized pollster Scott Rasmussen last night predicted that Republicans would gain 55 seats in races for the U.S. House of Representatives November 2—much more than the 39 needed for a Republican majority in the House for the first time since 2006.
But the man whose Rasmussen Reports polling is watched carefully by politicians and frequently quoted by the punditocracy said that whether Republicans gain the ten seats they need to take control of the Senate is in question.
“Republicans should have 48 seats [after the elections next month], Democrats 47, and five seats could slide either way,” said Rasmussen in his banquet address at the Western Conservative Political Action Conference. He was referring to seats in five states in which the Senate race this year he considers too close to call: California, Illinois, Washington, West Virginia, and Nevada (or “that mudwrestling contest,” as Rasmussen described the race between Republican Sharron Angle and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid).
The once unheard of notion of picking up 10 seats in one US Senate election cycle might just now be a possibility. In Senate race after Senate race, Democrats find themselves in trouble and as the Gateway Pundit states, Democrats retreat to “Blue State” stong holds.
Check out the WSJ political map for House, Senate and Governor races that show just how bleak the situation is for Democrats.
Democratic strategists acknowledged they are abandoning a dozen House seats the party now holds, as they try to salvage their majority in the chamber by shoring up candidates with better chances.
With Republicans expanding their advertising to broaden the field of competitive races, Democrats are shifting resources to help such senior lawmakers as House Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt (D., S.C.), and to head off Republicans in usually safe Massachusetts, where a southeast district that includes Cape Cod is competitive for the first time in decades.
Is it any wonder why the American voters are about to toss the Democrats out of control in the House when there is a -50.4% approval rating for the Democrat controlled Congress. Real Clear Politics average polling also has Republicans ahead in the Generic Congressional ballot by 6.8%.
However, the House races could be even more bleak for Democrats as the Cook Political Report says 90+ seats are in play and most are Democrat. Also, Republicans House candidates are far ahead in fund raising and have much more to spend in the final weeks and days leading up to the election.
In the House, GOP candidates reported raising $104 million from July through September, compared with $89 million for Democrats, new disclosure records show. In the 18 top Senate races, Republicans brought in nearly $60 million; their Democratic opponents raised less than $40 million.

Barack Obama Administration Announces Second Year of $1.3 Trillion Deficit
Welcome to Obamaville … Hey America, how’s that“hopey, changey” stuff working out for you?
Thank you Barack Hussein Obama and the Obama economy … Obama Administration announces second year of $1.3 trillion deficit. Add that to the 9.7% unemployment, record number of people on food stamps, housing foreclosures over 100,000. Is it any wonder why Obama’s Presidential polling index is starting to tank again and Democrats find themselves in dire straits of losing the House Senate and majority of Governors.
$1.3 trillion …bahahahahaha …
The Obama administration announced Friday it has exceeded the $1 trillion mark in the federal deficit — predicted by Congress’ research arm last week as $1.29 trillion — for the second straight year as it projects an even larger gap between revenues and spending for fiscal year 2011.
That means the government had to borrow 37 cents out of every dollar it spent as tax revenues continued to lag while spending on food stamps and unemployment benefits went up as the economy slowly pulled out of recession.
The eye-popping deficit figures provide Republican critics of President Obama’s fiscal stewardship with fresh ammunition less than three weeks ahead of the midterm congressional elections. The deficit was $122 billion less than last year, a modest improvement.
The Congressional Budget Office last week announced the deficit for the 2010 budget year that ended Sept. 30 was $1.29 trillion. That’s down by $125 billion from the $1.4 trillion in 2009 — the highest deficit on record. It attributed money recovered from the Troubled Asset Relief Program for the decrease.
But wait, the Obama Administration and Democrats finally have something they can run on, they have set a record … 2 years in a row of over a trillion dollar deficit (check out the graph that the MSM refuses to print). To get a historical sense of what the budgets used to look like, go to Heritage Foundation.

No President Obama … You Will Be More Cooperative after the 2010 Midterm Elections after the GOP Landslide, Not Republicans
If Obama thinks that Republicans will be more cooperative to his agenda, The One will be One and Done in a Landslide!
Democrats did it the old fashioned way … they earned the upcoming 2010 midterm election results.
A note to Barack Hussein Obama, following the upcoming 2010 midterm election tsunami, avalanche, Democrat political carnage, it is not the GOP that is going to be more cooperative … IT WILL BE YOU WHO IS. If not, your 2012 reelection bid will look much like the 1980 failed Presidential Election of one term Democrat President, Jimmy Carter.
There is a reason why you are going to be made to look bad in the 2010 midterm elections, because your policies are an abject failure and your liberal-socialist agenda is not wanted by a majority of the American people. You have squandered any promises you made of “Hope & Change” under the false pretence of working togther in a bi-partisan manner and reaching across the aisle to Republicans. At this point, even Democrats cannot run away from Obama fast enough.
President Obama said that he is expecting Republicans to offer him more cooperation after November’s elections, no matter the outcome.
In an hour-long interview with Times White House correspondent Peter Baker, Mr. Obama predicted that his political rivals will either be chastened by falling short of their electoral goals or burdened with the new responsibility that comes from achieving them.
“It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible, either because they didn’t do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn’t work for them,” Mr. Obama said. “Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way.”
The GOP is not the party of “NO”, they are the party that was actually listening to the American people who were saying “HELL NO”to the policies of Obama, Reid, Pelosi and Democrats. You are going to be working with them Mr. President as your way has been nothing but an abysmal failure. On most every important topic of the day, Barack Obama and democrats are on the wrong side and against the will of the people. Whether its the economy, health care, illegal immigration, trials of terrorist, etc. Speaking of the economy and wasteful stimulus that has failed.
Barack Obama goes back on his words of why the $787 billion stimulus was needed ASAP for those “shovel ready” jobs. Now Obama says there is no such thing as a shovel ready job. So is he a liar or a rank amateur novice? Either one makes him never fit to be President.
In the magazine article, Mr. Obama reflects on his presidency, admitting that he let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,” realized too late that “there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects” and perhaps should have “let the Republicans insist on the tax cuts” in the stimulus.
The American voters are so outraged by the policies and conduct of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Democrats who thought they could pass any sort of legislation down the throats of an unwilling WE THE PEOPLE, that there will be a reckoning on November 2.
In political races across the United States, Democrats are down in the polls and in many cases states and districts that had always been considered a Democrat stronghold. Not any more. So much to the point that Democrats are pretending that they are not members of the Donkey party. They act like they have never heard of Pelosi, Reid or Obama. In most cases, to watch their political ads, one could not even tell that they were a Democrat. Which might be the reason why the DNCC are cutting some ads of candidates who do not support the Donkey power structure. Exactly what did “beholden” Democrats think would happen? Was stated at Weasel Zippers, the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West can be a bitch. Suddenly, Pelosi is considered too extreme for Democrats. However, the people know better and America has awoke. Where were these same people for the past two years when they went along with Pelosi and passed unpopular legislation through the House? The politicians now realize WE THE PEOPLE do not forget and the Democrat leopards are trying to change their spots.
State Sen. Roy Herron (D), who’s running for the opening seat held by retiring Rep. John Tanner (D) in Tennessee’s 8th congressional district, suggested the DCCC’s decision to cancel ad buys in the race was tied to his refusal to back Pelosi.
Can it get any worse for Democrats as The Hill reports, Republicans are up in 8 of 10 open House districts. Yet another poll that has Democrats reeling.
Republicans are winning eight out of 10 competitive open House seats surveyed in a groundbreaking new poll by The Hill.
Taken on top of 11 GOP leads out of 12 freshman Democratic districts polled last week, The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll points toward 19 Republican victories out of 22 races, while Democrats win only two and one is tied.
Republican candidates have taken big leads in two districts Democrats have held for nearly a century and a half-century, respectively, according to The Hill’s survey. A Republican is also ahead in the heavily Democratic district that contains President Obama’s hometown of Honolulu.

2010 Midterm Election: Obama Thinks the Pundits Are Wrong, Gallup Says Republicans Up Big Over Democrats
The 2010 midterm election is almost upon us and more bad polling numbers for Democrats …
President Barack Obama went away from his scripted speech and teleprompter and stammered his way through comments to Democrats at the Philly rally and said, “I … I … I … I … think the pundits are wrong …” However, Obama could never be more wrong. The polling is breaking toward the GOP and as the Gay Patriot states, it’s not Rasmussen, it is Gallup! Interestingly enough the Gallup poll, as reported at The Hill, seems more certain that the GOP is not losing steam with the American likely voters, in fact they might be gaining momentum.
From The Hill,
The GOP kept its healthy lead over Democrats in both high and low turnout scenarios in Gallup’s weekly test of likely voters’ preference between the two parties.
Fifty-six percent of likely voters said they would back an unnamed Republican candidate for Congress in a test of a low-turnout scenario for the crucial midterm elections. Thirty-nine percent in that same model said they would back a Democratic candidate, an increase by one percent over last week.
In Gallup’s high-turnout model, Republicans maintain a 53-41 percent advantage among likely voters. That also represented a one percent tick upward in support for Democrats.
The poll suggests that the GOP hasn’t lost any steam in its bid to pick up 39-plus seats they need in the House to reclaim the majority. Democrats have claimed that support for Republican candidates has peaked, and that they’re primed to make inroads into support for the GOP, though Gallup’s weekly effort to track the generic ballot suggests that any Democratic gains have been marginal at best.
I guess we now know why liberal finacier George Soros predicts a Republican avalanche.

President Obama Begs Supports Not to Make Him Look Bad in the 2010 Midterm Elections
Let me take a wild guess … stuttering Barack went away from his teleprompter prepared speech again. Just a hunch.
One again, it’s all about Obama, “Don’t Make Me Look Bad.” Me … me … me … me … me … me… me … me … me … me … me!!!
The One begged the audience not to make him look bad in the 2010 midterm elections as he stated he thought the pundit were wrong. Yup, they are all wrong, and you are right President Obama. Isn’t that what has been wrong with Obama’s Presidency? He thinks he knows more than every one else in the room.
Just a sampling of all the pundits who Obama thinks is wrong:
- CNN Opinion Research poll on Congressional Generic ballot – Republicans +7
- CBS News Poll on Congressional Generic ballot – Republicans +8
- Rasmussen Generic Congressional ballot – Republicans +3
- ABC/Washington Post Generic Congressional ballot – Republicans +6
- GallupGeneric Congressional ballot (low turn out) – Republicans +18
- Gallup Generic Congressional ballot (high turnout) – Republicans +13
- Real Clear Politics average US Senate polling, Dems 48, GOP 46 and 6 races toss-up. However, Republicans have leads in 4 of the Senate races (Nevada, Illinois, West Virginia & Colorado. Virtual tie in Washington state)
- The Cook Political Report - Not one held US Senate seat leans Democrat, the two listed as toss up are KY and MO where all other polling has the GOP candidate ahead. Democrats have 3 seats that either lean Republican or are solid republican. They have 9 seats that they presently hold that are toss-ups.
- Cook Political Report for the US House races – Democrats currently have 85 seats listed as Lean or Toss Up. Republicans currently have 7 seats listed as Lean or Toss Up.
- Larry Sabato presently predicts Republicans pick ups in 2010: US Senate +7-8, US House +47, Governors +8.
President Obama pleaded with a crowd of supporters last Thursday in Maryland to prove the pundits wrong. Actually his direct quote was, “I … I … I… I … I … I … I”m betting on you, not on them.” Obama implored the crowd, “Don’t make me look bad.” Mr. President, you have done a good enough job of that all by your self.
Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit
Desperate acts from a desperate President and a desperate party. Remember in November!

Democrat California Gov Candidate Jerry Brown Said “Mammograms are not Effective”, REALLY?
When will California voters wake up, or is this state too far gone?
How exactly is NOW, any other female or any one who has been affected by breast cancer voting for this fool Jerry Brown. First Brown’s campaign called Republican rival Meg Whitman a “whore” and now Brown has stated that “mammograms are not effective.” NICE, I though Jerry Brown was pro-choice? How does NOW endorse a man who is against mammogram screening? Can you imagine the reaction from MOW and the MSM is a Republican made such comments? The liberal feminist hicocrissy continues.
You think the fact that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month that maybe, maybe California voters might catch a clue? How does one make such a comment and actually have female votes or endorsements?
The comment about mammograms came during an episode of “Firing Line” in October 1995, when Brown was a guest on the William F. Buckley Jr. show. He sat alongside feminist and commentator Susan Estrich during a discussion about government regulations that dealt with the death of the Clinton administration health reform proposal.
Estrich discussed the component of the plan that had dealt with mammograms. “Can we get off of mammograms?” Brown interjected. “I mean, first of all, if you read the Lancet Magazine in July, there’s no statistical evidence that mammograms help anyone at any age. “So it’s July 1995, Lancet Magazine. Okay? It’s there. Now I don’t want to argue that case,” he added, as Estrich started to object. “ I just want to throw it out there.”
This is the man that the National Organization of Woman is endorsing? A man who has stated in the past that mamograms are ineffective. Moonbeam Brown did not even want to allow the option for women to have one.
Former Delaware Gov. Pete du Pont interrupted, “But you ought to have the option — if you think they’re going to help you, if you think they’re going to help you, you ought to have the option of having one.”
Brown replied, “Ten thousand women, three women will be saved for one year.”
So you think that this is only about a comment made 15 years ago, do you? When Brown’s campaign was asked about how he feels about mammograms now, his spokesman said the following. Death panels, indeed. Also, there gets to be no excuses from Brown’s campaign that the comment is 15 years old. Aptly stated by the Left Coast Liberal, it was perfectly fine for Democrats to pull up video 20+ years old of DE GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell. Live by the sword …
Asked if he believes in mammography, Clifford said, “He believes in people not getting cancer, has not followed developments in the effectiveness of various specific cancer screenings.”
WHAT! As No Quarter stated, will California voters ever wake up and realize that “Moonbeam” Brown has no chance of saving the states from its pending financial bankruptcy? Let alone, Brown hardly seems user friendly to woman and breast cancer screening. Meg Whitman, pro-choice might I add, actually has a business background and an understanding of how to get California out of its financial perils.
It is unreal how a state could be so screwed up as to elect Jerry Brown to right the ship. Unreal indeed.

9.6% Unemployment & Democrat Party in Shambles Before the 2010 Midterms … Obama Plays Golf for the 52nd Time
NERO OBMAMA plays his fiddle again …
The unemployment national rate is at 9.6%, 95,000 people lost jobs last month, 41.8 million Americans are on food stamps, the US has record federal debt like never before, jobless rate above 9.5% for the 14th straight month, no confidence in the economy, Democrats stand to most likely lose the US House of Representatives, a majority of Governorships and could likely lose control of the US Senate.
Nero Obama goes golfing for the 52nd time since he became President.
President Obama hit the golf course Saturday for what, by CBS News’ Mark Knoller’s calculation, was his 52nd such outing since taking office.
According to the White House pool report, Obama went golfing Saturday with his usual partners: trip director Marvin Nicholson, press aide Ben Finkenbinder and the Department of Energy’s David Katz.
Don’t fret though, the Barack has got it all covered. Stating that the economy is headed in the right direction, under his method of creating jobs all the lost jobs won’t be recovered until 2020. Relax America, the Obama has got it covered. If he can play the fiddle golf like Nero, why should you worry America?
It is rather telling that with 24 days to go before an election and with the 100′s of Senate, House and Governor races up for reelection this year that the President has time to play golf. One would think that he would be wanted for political campaign appearances every day from now until the 2010 election on November 2. Looks like due to his toxicity, he has more time for golf than ever before.

National Organization of Woman Hipocrisy: NOW Endorces Democrat Jerry Brown One Day After “WHORE” Slur Against Republican Meg Whitman
NOW endorses Jerry Brown, what does the “W” in NOW actually stand for?
Remember just the other day after the Jerry Brown campaign was caught on a telephone recorder calling Republican California Governor candidate Meg Whitman a whore, we asked where was NOW and what would they say?
Well NOW has now spoken and the hypocrisy is simply disgusting.
As reported in the LA Times, one day after Jerry Brown’s campaign was caught calling rival Meg Whitman a whore, NOW endorsed Democrat Jerry Brown. That is correct, one day after his campaign uses a term like “whore” in reference to a female candidate, Brown gets the NOW endorsement. UNREAL. Actually, it is all too predictable for the Libs at NOW. As stated at Michelle Malkin.com, it’s not like NOW was ever going to endorse a Republican woman.
Jerry Brown announced he has received the endorsement of the National Organization for Women, less than 24 hours after the emergence of a recorded message in which Brown can be heard in a conversation with advisors in which someone calls Whitman a “whore.” Coincidence? You be the judge.
Whitman’s campaign pounced after the audio was made public, sending out a release Thursday night from spokeswoman Sarah Pompei calling the use of the term “an insult to both Meg Whitman and to the women of California. This is an appalling and unforgivable smear against Meg Whitman. At the very least Mr. Brown tacitly approved this despicable slur and he himself may have used the term at least once on this recording.”
As if on cue, Brown’s campaign Friday released the endorsement from NOW championing Brown’s record on women’s rights. “As Governor, Mayor, and Attorney General, Jerry Brown has promoted and defended women’s rights,” said California NOW President Patty Bellasalma.
“Jerry stands for fairness and equality and never ever backs down. We have every confidence that he will do the same as California’s next governor.”
I second the motion from Weasel Zippers, can you imagine, just imagine what would have happened if a Republican male candidate called a Democrat broad a whore?

California Governor’s Race: Jerry Brown’s Campaign Calls Republican Candidate Whitman a Whore
WHORE-GATE!
Oh that new fangled technology. Democrat candidate for Governor Jerry Brown had though he hung up the phone; however, look what the answering machine recorded …
Now we know what Jerry Brown was thinking during his last debate with Whitman
The California Governors race has been reduced to the Democrat Jerry Brown’s campaign calling republican challenger Meg Whitman a WHORE!!! Really. First we have the politically convenient sliming of Whitman with Gloria Allred and the sudden appearance of illegal immigrant maid Nicky Diaz who would risk deportation over trumped up allegations against Whitman. Now we have class personified of Brown’s campaign, males might I add, calling Meg Whitman a whore. As the Left Coast Liberal aptly states, and they should know because those Democrats are experts are whores.
We are waiting for a comment from NOW condemning the actions of Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown’s campaign. After all, does the National Organization of Woman not try and stop such demeaning treatment of woman? Whitman’s campaign released the following, “The use of the term ‘whore’ is an insult to both Meg Whitman and to the women of California. This is an appalling and unforgivable smear against Meg Whitman”. NOW, we are waiting … Oh the hypocrisy.
Hat Tip : Breitbart TV
”A transcript of the conversation authorized by the LA Police Protective League and transcribed by a registered court reporter identifies the voice that said the word “whore” as “J.B.” for Jerry Brown.”

VP Joe Biden Once Again Influencing People and Making Friends … “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to”
Biden at it again …
President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden have finally found the winning combination to getting their base out to vote for the 2010 midterm elections … insult them.
Biden said to an audience in Wisconsin, “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to.” And the Dems wonder why there is an enthusiasm gap with the GOP. Go figure, you have a Democrat VP telling you about jobs you lost and some how that is supposed to be inspiring and uplifting. What must Democrat Governors, House and Senate candidates be thinking. We have a President that is so toxic we cannot even reference his name or policies, let alone have him campaign directly and a VP who is such a goof and court jester that votes go out the window every time he opens his mouth. At least this time he only called the audience dull, he didn’t tell them to stop whining.
Vice President Joe Biden got a laugh from his audience at a Wisconsin fundraising event Thursday when he tried to rile the crowd about the economic collapse of 2008.
“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!” he said to a silent room at the event for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett, according to a White House pool report.
He continued, saying, “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to,” at which point he got applause and laughs. “Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost? It’s staggering!”
Biden and President Obama have made frequent campaign stops in recent weeks in an attempt to jolt Democrats who are lagging Republicans in voter enthusiasm measures, in part due to the slowing pace of the economic recovery under the administration’s watch.
At least he didn’t make any of the Democrat donors in the audience stand up and take a bow who were in wheelchairs. I guess the VP is growing into his role.
