I know, I know...

...totally impossible to the LIT progressive "experts" & kbater.

But...

Democrats face challenging Senate landscape

WASHINGTON (AP) — After a surprising string of victories last fall, Democrats now face a challenging terrain as they look to hold onto their Senate majority in 2014 and prevent Republicans from gaining full control of Congress during President Barack Obama's final two years. His party must defend a hefty 21 seats, including seven in largely rural states that the president lost last fall.

The task of maintaining control of the Senate has grown more daunting in recent weeks, with four Senate Democrats announcing plans to retire. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan disclosed his decision on Thursday, following Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller. New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg has also said he will retire, but Democrats will be heavily favored to hold the seat. A fifth Democratic retirement could come soon from South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson, who has not yet announced his intentions.

Democrats control 55 seats in the Senate, after November elections in which they did better than expected and gained two seats to pad their majority. That means Republicans would need to pick up six seats next year to take control for the first time since 2006.

Why not go to Nate Silver's blog and see what he has to say? You know the guy...the one that the right-wingers said was full of shit but ended up being right within 0.1% of every prediction his models made last election. He has a very in depth piece on this. But then again, maybe you don't want to read something that supports their statements.

You know, -boy, you don't really matter at all in the equation, so why take it personally...

...unless you're a total partisan hack piece of sh!t.

Never mind...

Obviously, you don't like it when all you can do to support your view is quote the opinions of others, whereas I just point out there are other views out there that can back up their opinion with more than just...well...opinion. If that makes me a piece of shit. Cool.

Nate Silver expects the Rep. to gain seats, but not quite enough to take control.

Of course, this is just opinion too.

You pegged me, -boy...

...you will not find a more Republican Party partisan hack piece of sh!t than I on the entire GB.

You are one intelligent mofo...

...I gotta give you that.

Backed by some stat analysis. Given his track record for the last decade, you won't find a more unbiased authority out there.

Let me ask you another question, -boy, since you didn't answer the last one I asked you (how much of your income comes from the government?)...

...who'd you vote for President last 11/6?

I will answer. Income from the government is 0......Voted for Barack Obama.



Perhaps you should answer the same question.

The question alone speaks volumes about you.

Too far out to predict.


Politics is that fickle...


Who knows what will tick off the mob?

I wanted Democrats to get a full measure and understand of where Social Justice Economics generally tend to trend to.

I, to date, have not at all been disappointed by the results.

A new record for two-job part-timers.

Keep up the good work!

 

[mercury14]

I agree, it's too far out. And if the economy does better....

Also the Senate map in 2016 hugely favors the Dems.

 

[Liar]

If they don't run a bunch of muppets, it's fully plausible.

So the question is, is it plausible they won't run a bunch of muppets?

In truth, I would prefer a narrow Republican margin in the Senate 51-49 would do it as well as a narrow margin in the House.

But I'd like this only as long as a democrat remains president. Republicans have proven that they are incapable of running a just and balanced nation when they have full power, just as have the democrats who believe a one vote margin means a national mandate for socialism.

The last time we had a republican congress and a democrat president, they managed to compromise in order to get some legislation through.

It won't happen because the republicans refuse to compromise as does the president and 55% of the people prefer the idea of "fuck the rich" to "fuck the rest of you".

Wasn't asking anyone else...

...I asked -boy for the exact reason he won't answer.

Me?

Nada and I didn't vote for either statist.

You don't have to pen the tome you "speak" of...

...but let's hear your short take on exactly what that question says about me, huh?

But if it's just more subjective wonderlust...

...you really don't have to, you know.

 

[Adre]

The more important question is who owns them? Party label doesn't mean much.

Are you referring to when Newt Gingrich caused a government shutdown because he felt snubbed by Bill Clinton?

Unless, nah, I'm not going to go there...
