"Terrifying results for Democrats (?)"...
something about losing 50-75 seats.

I just turned on ABC as I was running upstairs to do something.

Did I hear this right? "Terrifying"? I usually find my info on the net. Is this the kind of language that is being used on network TV?

:wtf:

8. This is more "likely voter" bullshit.
What does it mean mean when they consider only "likely voters"? Why, it means they are using a non-random sampling methodology, so their statistics are drool, and the polls are rigged propaganda tools.

10. It's a line of bull and it don't walk.
It's what ABC says. Look at them, they created Rush Limbaugh.

11. Is there an lack of enthusiasm or sense of direction among Democrat?
Yes. I think so. But will Democrats vote for Democratic candidates anyway? Yes -- and in big, big numbers.

Some independents will be lured by the ridiculous novelty of candidates like O'Donnell, but not that many. It's the independents who are most likely to stay home.

And we Democrats outnumber Republicans.

Here in California, I am convinced that Democrats will do well.
