Texas Governors Race 1990; Virginia Senate Race 2006 are just two of the many races where massive leads weeks before the election melted down into losses.<br /><br />I hope you're right.

Compare the favorability of the President with Congress and an entirely different picture emerges.Tien Lenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-34806158205503307962012-04-19T10:27:02.377-05:002012-04-19T10:27:02.377-05:00This just mean that we have to make sure we get th...This just mean that we have to make sure we get the truth out their... the conservatives is trying to take over the narratives by reinvent Romney and not holding him to his pledges and this is with the help of all news media (especially sunday morning political shows)...<br /><br />Question, homediamatter.org/research/w many republicans/conservatives compare to democrats/liberals?<br /><br />http://mediamatter.org/research/201110170023?<br /><br />http://www.fair.org/index.php?=4514Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-57913794689221698092012-04-19T10:02:34.717-05:002012-04-19T10:02:34.717-05:00Ok, Let's have a little reality check here, sh...Ok, Let's have a little reality check here, shall we? For the poutrage chicken little's who look on all bad news as gospel a lesson in REAL POLITICS (Note: Does not include Ms. Pants):<br /><br />It's April. Current polls are worth about as much as tits on a boarhog. They simply identify areas that could perhaps, be improved on with campaigning ... for both sides.<br /><br />And really, WHO CARES about the National Approval rate? Any poll that includes Massachusetts and Mississippi in the approval/disapproval is totally bogus for the coming election. MS will NEVER go Democratic in my lifetime. MA will vote for Satan before voting for Romney. But the bottom line is: If the economy tanks Obama most likely loses. If the economy rebounds like gangbusters he wins in 1964 proportions. It is that simple.<br /><br />So what happens at the mid point?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.270towin.com/" rel="nofollow">This site</a> contains a map of red, blue and swing states. You can play with the states depending upon your own feelings and analysis. It is quite interesting and informative. <br /><br />The midpoint between an economic tank and an economic resurgence will depend on the gray states. My instincts say that most of the gray are actually more blue than red. WI, MI, PA, and NV should be fairly safe. OH, NH, CO, FL are dead even. IA, NC, NM, VA are quite problematic. MO is red and probably not in play. But this is me, and others will have a different view. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/Swing_state" rel="nofollow"> Conservapedia </a> has a similar list with a short reason for why each swing state will swing red.<br /><br />Use your own judgement. Take everything with a grain of salt. And remember that we have a president that is an actual politician ... not someone who thinks the wind is a great reason to change positions.DerFarmhttp://yellowdogpolitics.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-30401813925489576392012-04-19T09:47:58.900-05:002012-04-19T09:47:58.900-05:00This kind of commentary about the American people ...This kind of commentary about the American people leaves me so depressed.
