GOP dread: Dems could hit 60 Senate seats

Post by Termite »

The possibility that Democrats will build a muscular, 60-seat Senate majority is looking increasing plausible, with new polls showing a powerful surge for the party’s candidates in Minnesota, Kentucky and other states.
A poll out Friday shows Sen. Norm Coleman could now easily lose his Minnesota seat to comedian-turned-candidate Al Franken. A Colorado race that initially looked like a nail-biter has now broken decisively for the Democrats. A top official in the McCain camp told us Sen. Elizabeth Dole is virtually certain to lose in conservative North Carolina......

Any ideas on WHY moderate Liz Dole is losing? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

{Sigh} The Stupid Party really is STUPID.......... :x

because the number of poor and uneducated in this country has finally reached a high enough level that offering freebie handouts is a solid way to win and election... and the dimmocrats are masters at offering handouts.

Because she hates AK-47s?

Damn, I don't like her for her gun control, but I couldn't imagine someone worse than her in that seat. It sucks I'm not living in NC anymore...

BTW, McCain is supposedly withdrawing from Michigan. I've not seen a single ad of his since I've been here(mostly since I don't watch TV that often) so I don't think it'll make a big difference. Of course, this IS Detroit...
