Dems in Serious Trouble: Van Tran (R) Pulls Even with Loretta Sanchez (D) in CA-47 US House Race
Anyone wondering why pretty much all reasonable political pundits are stating that there will be a change of guards in the US House of Representatives after the 2010 midterm elections?
Van Tran for US House CA-47 …
From Town Hall.com comes the following startlingpoll in the CA-47 House race between Republican Van Tran and Democrat incumbent Loretta Sanchez. A district that Obama carried by 22% in the 2008 Presidential election is now a toss up in 2010 and the Democrats saviour and now statesman Bill Clinton was called in to salvage the seat. This race is just one of many examples across the United States as to just how much trouble Democrats are in this election cycle.
Van Tran is tied with Loretta Sanchez on the ballot test. Fully 39% of likely voters say they are supporting Van Tran, while 39% are backing Sanchez and 5% siding with Ceci Iglesias (17% undecided). Moreover, Tran’s definite support level is higher than that of Congresswoman Sanchez (30% definitely voting for Tran – 28% definitely voting for Sanchez).
- While there are certainly solid ethnic coalitions in this race – Asian and Vietnamese voters siding with Tran, Latinos favoring Sanchez – Tran enjoys a commanding 34-point lead with White voters in the district (60% Tran – 26% Sanchez).
- Van Tran also polls strongly with Independent voters (42% Tran – 28% Sanchez) and older voters (50% Tran – 30% Sanchez) – two groups that are likely going to determine the victor here.
- Van Tran has a commanding 22-point lead over Sanchez (52% – 30%) among voters who say they are “extremely interested” in the upcoming elections (rate their interest a “10”on a one-to-ten scale). Among a broader high interest segment of the electorate – the “8-10s” – Tran is up eight points (44% – 38%).
WOW!!!

Bizarre: US House Rep Barney Frank’s (MA-D) Significant Other Heckles Republican Challenger Sean Bielat Outside Debate
Is this how Democrats campaign who have never faced challenges in years?
Barney Frank has his boyfriend James ready at the ready to heckle his opponent. UNREAL. Can anyone imagine what the LEFT and the MSM would be saying if a Republican candidates wife was heckling her husband’s Democrat opponent? So much for the fairness doctrine from the LEFT.
Barney Frank at the ready with boyfriend James Ready …
How desperate and concerned has Massachusetts Democrat US Congressman Barny Frank (MA04-MA) become with his reelection in 2010 … he has his significant other heckle Republican challenger Sean Bielat outside of a debate. Frank’s, a career politician claims to be safe in the polls; however, having your boyfriend pick a fight prior to a debate seems rather suspect. Also, Barney Franks has whined incessantly that right wing factions, talk radio and Fox news has targeted him.
At Michelle Malkin.com they compare Frank’s boyfriends actions to the foundering golfer (Shooter McGavin) who hired a guy to yell “jackass!” during Happy Gilmore’s backswing.
Barney Frank’s boyfriend heckles Republican candidate Sean Bielat
Upon exiting the most recent debate with Barney Frank, located at WGBH studios in Boston, MA, Republican Congressional candidate, Sean Bielat, gets heckled by a Barney Frank “supporter” while talking to the media. While watching this video, we realized that we recognized this “supporter”. We received confirmation from two eyewitnesses that the mysterious cameraman was none other than Barney Frank’s pot-growing boyfriend, James Ready.
Career politicians like Barny Frank are exactly what is wrong with Washington, DC. Check out the VIDEO of the up to his eyebrows in Fannie and Freddie Mac Barney Franks. The Gay Patriot calls this action, just more liberal hipocrisy.
Lear more about a refreshing breath of air in Massachusetts politics, go to Sean Bielat’s website.

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.

The Military Can Fight & Die for Their Country, But Not Get Their Votes Counted in Illinois
Stealing Elections …
How convenient that this occur from the “deep blue,” Democrat controlled state of Illinois. The prevention of counting military votes has to be one of the most heinous, treachours and disgusting act by Democrats in the 2010 elections.
According to reports, the Department of Justice is investigating whether the Democrat Illinois Secretary of State did not send thousands of absentee ballots out to members of our brave men and woman of the military serving overseas. The very people who risk their lives, fight and die so that the United States remains free and has elections will not have their votes counted. UNREAL. The DOJ is on it; however, the Obama-Holder DOJ has such a great track record of dealing with election issues like when they just dropped the voter intimidation case against the NBBP.
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether the state of Illinois missed the deadline for mailing absentee ballots to members of the military and other overseas American voters as part of a new federal overseas voting law.
Cris Cray, Director of Legislation at the Illinois State Board of Elections, says not all of Illinois’ 110 jurisdictions were compliant with the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE).
The law requires every state to mail their absentee ballots 45 days prior to Election Day to overseas troops, government employees and other Americans who want to vote from abroad.
As stated at Right Wing News, with close races for US Senate and Governor in Illinois, is it any wonder why Democrats do not want the military vote counted. Might I add a vote that predominantly goes for Republicans. If there was ever a segment of the population that should have ensured that their votes are counted, it is the very people who defend the United States of America.
Barack Obama was just in Illinois shilling for the Democrats, how come he has not come out and spoke on this issue? He is the Commander in Chief, is he not? Where is his outrage that the brave men and woman of our military will be disenfranchised?
Where is your outrage America?
