Title: Dick Morris: GOP Leads in 7 Senate Races; McConnell in Trouble
Post by: happyg on April 05, 2014, 03:41:46 pm
Republican Senate candidates now lead their rivals in seven contests, including three involving Democratic incumbents. Republicans need to win six seats to gain control of the Senate.

 For an eighth seat, the Republican is tied with a Democratic incumbent. And, in a ninth contest, the GOP candidate trails the Democratic incumbent by only two points.

 In the following seven races — all in seats now held by Democrats — the Republican has a lead.

 (* means Republican faces significant primary)

 Republicans lead in seven

 Michigan

 Land (R) 40
 Peters (D) 38

 (Open seat; Carl Levin retired; amazing run for a Republican in deeply blue state)

North Carolina

 Tillis (R) 46*
 Hagan (D) 45

 (Tillis leads in tough primary; Hagan well under 50% of the vote)

 Alaska

 Treadwell (R) 47*
 Begich (D) 43

 (Treadwell faces tough primary but Begish is way behind and further under 50 percent)

 Montana

 Daines (R) 51
 Walsh (D) 37

 (Open seat; it's over)

 Louisiana

 Cassidy (R) 46
 Landrieu (D) 42

 (Landrieu way under 50 percent)

South Dakota

 Rounds (R) 51
 Weiland (D) 31

 (Open seat; it's over)

West Virginia

 Capito (R) 49
 Tennant (D) 35

 (Open seat; it's over)

Republican tied in one

 Arkansas

 Cotton (R) 46
 Pryor (D) 46

 (Pryor is under 50 percent)

 Republican close in three

Iowa

 Jacobs (R) 38*
 Braley (D) 41

 (Open seat; Jacobs still faces tough primary, but possible pickup)

Colorado

 Gardner (R) 40
 Udall (D) 42

 (Udall way under 50 percent)

Minnesota

 Ortman (R) 41*
 Franken (D) 44

 (Franken way under 50 percent)

One possible Democrat takeaway

Kentucky

 McConnell (R) 43
 Grimes (D) 42

 (McConnell way under 50 percent)

 So, with eleven Democratic seats leaning Republican and only one Republican seat leaning Democrat, the makings of a huge Republican sweep seem to be taking shape.

 It is also worth following are Oregon, where Democrat Jeff Merkley has only 46% of the vote against his nearest rival, Jason Conger,  and New Hampshire, where Jeanne Shaheen manages only 50 percent of the vote against former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown’s 38.

 The only other possible Democratic takeaway is in Georgia, but Republican front runner (in a tough primary) David Purdue leads the Democrat Michelle Nunn by 38-33.

 So, at the moment, a reversal of the 55-45 Democratic majority to make it a 55-45 Republican majority seems possible.

Yep.  Talk about a Catch-22!  The Republicans are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.  If they do take the Senate - you know THEY are going to be blamed for everything that is going wrong.  If they don't - Obama's destruction is unfettered.

McConnell is all that and more.  As I have said before and it still holds true - as we Kentuckians get closer and closer to our May 20th primary, I have not seen a SINGLE sign anywhere supporting Mitch McConnell.  Right now, in addition to flowers blooming in yards everywhere - election signs are everywhere.  Everyday, I am seeing more and more Matt Bevin and Ditch Mitch signs in yards.  There's a good chance McConnell will lose this fall to the Democrat.  He is not popular at all and if he cared about anyone but himself - he would have retired.

How is McConnell going to lose to a Democrat?  He's trailing Grimes by one point and everybody's writing him off.

He'll win and he'll win handily in a wave election.

I just don't think everyone gets what the problem is here... Reagan did, and we quote him, but don't "get it".

Ronnie said "government is the problem".

Democrats and Republicans are the government, thus they are the problem.

If you believe that electing a different Republican will change things, you're wrong.

Government is the problem, so what we need is a new government.

Ok. That's true. But short of a 'new government' we can start by not electing the same clowns in over and over again, decade after decade. I will vote Democrat if I have to, to kill the 'establishment'. The GOPe can go to hell. Once we break the strangle hold, we can begin to rebuild.
 
It all starts with McConnell. I say, send the bastard to hell, even if I have to vote Democrat.

Of course they are. And so is the GOP establishment. That is why they get along so well. Does anyone believe that McCain is not a totalitarian. Of course he is. That's why he loves Obama. They are kindred spirits.
 
So, according to our, yours and mine, logic. Nothing will make any difference anyway. So why not?
Why not vote Democrat. The "Republicans" have betrayed me enough. Now it is my turn to 'betray' them. I am not a sheep, or a cow, I will not continue to vote 'Republican' just for the sake of it. If they keep foisting these crony 'good ol' boys' on me, They can all go to hell.

Twenty-two years ago I stumbled across, and supported the idea of Ross Perot, since GHW Bush had failed to be perfect. Clinton was the result.

Two years after the Perot debacle, I quit drinking, and began the slow steady process of regaining my sanity.

I now know with certainty, that if I desire a more conservative government, I will NOT get it by voting for a democrat.

You will not get it by voting 'Republican' either. GW was a 'Republican', but he was not a conservative by any measure.

Problem I see here, is the ignorance of the typical voter.

All they want to know is that I can get by with the government's help.  That the check will be there. 

And they know who champions for them and who is calling for parental 'tough love'.

I've said that as soon as Obamacare is castrated by a Republican House and Senate, the economy is going to go nutz.  Unfortunately, all the while Obama is calling us the country's greatest threat for taking away American's health care, he's going to get credit for the BOOM!

Because we all know corporations and small businesses have gone into hibernation....standing pat....trying to avoid additional costs associated with Obamacare.

What's going to be another important issue then is repealing the tons of regulations smothering business and entrepreneurial spirit.

You guys heard of Ron Kuby. Well, after six years he and Curtiss Sliwa are back on the air on WABC. The Curtis and Kuby show took over the 12–3PM slot that Rush Limbaugh had on ABC before he moved over to WOR in January.

Anyway, Kuby's a liberal. He's also a constitutionalist and big supporter of the Second Amendment. What does this have to do with the topic?

Because it's fascinating to hear the point of view of a liberal constitutionalist. One would think that they are mutually exclusive, but they'd be wrong. There are honest liberals and I think that Ron Kuby is one. The example of Ron Kuby shows that if you are faithful to the Constitution, political party labels are meaningless and disagreements on issues are typical in political discourse, especially within a party.

If we get rid of the stupid bogeyman argument of Dems vs. Pubs and just get down to what it is, then we make progress. Everything else is just distraction.
 
But, to the point, yes. I do believe that as corrupt as the Republicans have become, that there are even Democrats who are more American than some of, the (so called) Republicans.

I can remember the days when we had real leadership, Landry, Allen, Gibbs.

I still can see in my mind that episode when Tom Landry was strolling the sideline calmly watching his team about to execute the fake handoff, trying to draw the Skins off sides and then the look of horror on his face when he realized that Danny was going to go ahead with a play.

NO DANNY, NO NO NO !!!

Danny pulled the trigger and the whole game turned around. Dallas went down the tubes...it was delightful.

Those were the days when we had real leaders.

The same can be said for today's pols. No leaders, no excitement, no integrity, no balls...just zero.

You can take all your "Repubican" home boys and shove them where the sun don't shine. I will not be voting for any of them. And if they do pop up on the ballot, I will vote Democrat just to get them out. That is just the way it has to be. Not by my doing, but more by people like you.

You can take all your "Repubican" home boys and shove them where the sun don't shine. I will not be voting for any of them. And if they do pop up on the ballot, I will vote Democrat just to get them out. That is just the way it has to be. Not by my doing, but more by people like you.

I'm sorry I cause YOU to vote rat, but I'm secretly proud of my newly recognized super power.

And, as a Washington Redskin fan, I can attest that losing can become a way of life.
I can also attest that throwing money at the problem doesn't fix it.
Stupid is as stupid does should be the fight song of MY team...as it should also be the slogan of the Republican party.

Yet, in all those years as a Redskin fan, watching them lose over and over again, you never argued that the best way to get the 'Skins back to their winning ways was to go to their games wearing an Roger Staubach jersey, did you?

I did pray for Devine intervention and then, one day, magically, a guy named Gibbs showed up.
It was the greatest decade of my football life.

Since then it's been an endless parade of mediocrity and less than mediocrity....kinda like politics.

There no more Reagans and there never will be. A nation that would vote for Barack Hussein Obama, TWICE, is doomed.

Twenty-two years ago I stumbled across, and supported the idea of Ross Perot, since GHW Bush had failed to be perfect. Clinton was the result.

Two years after the Perot debacle, I quit drinking, and began the slow steady process of regaining my sanity.

I now know with certainty, that if I desire a more conservative government, I will NOT get it by voting for a democrat.

Agreed! Voting for the most conservative Republican candidates available (likely NOT the ones with the most money) you can find in the primaries and straight Republican in the general election is the ONLY sane course of action available to us IMHO!

Well, you'll be kissing Hillary.

There ain't a dime's worth of difference between her and an iguana.
