Election 2006. You Make The Call

Logic dictates a prediction of a Dem House and GOP Senate. But I wonder if deep down the voters have the guts to repudiate their own judgments of 02 and 04. Things are bad, but are they bad enough? Bottom line, the Dems depend on voters willing to admit we've lost a war. Although that's obviously true, it's a hard thing to swallow.

 

GOP keeps Senate. Biggest upset will be Steele in Maryland.

Also -- GOP keeps house by 2-3 seats. GOTV works wonders.

 

And idiotic statements like "obviously true" do nothing to endear Dems to the American people.

 

That's it, Michael.
You won't be winning that Senate seat any time soon.

 

Just hope the Dems don't take the House with a bunch of GOP wanna-bes.

 

If elected, I shall not serve.

 

A grateful nation etc.

 

No way Steele wins. NONE.

 

Down by 10 points in a Washington Post poll released yesterday.

 

And he looked like a rube on Meet the Press yesterday.

 

He didn't win a lot of swing votes with that performance.

 

Down five points in a Rasmussen poll released the same day. And tied in another poll right before that.

You also are discounting the black vote in a state that's about 25-30 percent African-American. Remember, a lot of AA's in Md. still are pissed about the Cardin-Mfume race.

I'm not saying it's a lead-pipe cinch, but don't be shocked if it happens. MD and NJ are the GOP's best chances to pick off a Dem. I'll bet the GOP goes 1-for-2.

Also -- Cardin's debate performance on Washington TV late last week was so bad, even the Washington Post couldn't put a good spin on it.
