    It is just unimaginable the voters could be that reckless, considering who the Republicans are fielding for candidates. The contrast between Pelosi and the champion of interest groups, pub Bohnor will settle the issue for the immediate future.

    So that means you're willing to put your money where your mouth is?

    We already are. "Official" unemployment figures stand at 9.6% and rising. No change for the past two years.

    Is that a cliché?

    I have been invested in the markets all along and have grown comfortable with each passing day in support of the legislations forestalling the pub Great Recession by the liberals.

    No one likes what has happened but when Bush was elected the future was easily predictable.

    Oddly, due to recent forced redemptions of exceptional preferred stocks my cash position is highest now than any time in the past 3 years but will only be concerned for economic turmoil if the reactionaries do gain control of either branch of Congress.

    Crunch time is here till Nov.2nd and believe the public will come to its senses.

    Only slightly. LINK

    ...and if the voting system is as vulnerable to hackers as this one was ( LINK ) it is a sure thing that whoever gets elected did not get their office under honest conditions.

    Gallop seems to be experimenting with their polls at the least appropriate time.

    There may be a backlash by the people who say they will not vote and come election day show up at the polls, just to get even.

    The Republicans have unlimited money at their disposal is a definite problem for the liberals, no doubt about it....money in politics is near certain the easiest avenue for success, just short of buying it.

    What does "I have been invested in the markets" mean? Is this another badly formed lie from Breeze? What "markets"? "invested" how?



    Did Elvis tell you this? What are you smoking? Breeze, don't you know by now that nobody believes your lies?

    Breeze, how old are you? What do you do for a living?

    Dost mine eyes deceive me? I thought Rasmussen was the mouth of the Republican party which could not be trusted. You want us to suddenly change all that, distrust Gallup, and trust Rasmussen? Perhaps you can explain to all of us again why Real Clear Politics averages all the poll numbers over the last month again.

    If you remove the obviously distorted Gallop figures or even with them the +5.2 is a reversal from the previous Rep. advantage.

    The election is clearly tightening and to the advantage for Democrats as predicted.

    The Republican advantage in spending will be necessary for them to prevail but not a certainty.

    Breeze, if you really believe the silliness you're posting, you should be more than willing to put your money where your mouth is and make a wager on the election outcome.

    Something like a $10k USD bet on control of the House would surely make this election more interesting. :p

    Gosh Breeze. I'm a bit fuzzy on my math skills. Help me out here. The highest lead on the generic ballot held by the Republicans so far looks like it was 7.4 pts on 9/10/2010. Now work with me here. What is the reverse(or opposite) of +7.4. Wouldn't it be a negative number?

    Perhaps the reversal you are talking about is a reversal of trending direction, with voters trending back to Democrats? There again, your claims fly in the face of the polling data.

    Since the numbers arent working out for you, maybe we should just ditch them and go with anecdotal evidence. How is it where you are at. Does the idea of bloated government salaries, more government regulations and "giveaways" at the cost of jobs growing on the voters you talk to on a daily basis? Here in California, and in San Francisco in particular, the anger is palpable, and growing.

    Grow up, Breeze - you are SUCH an embarrassment. If only you could see yourself. Isn't it painfully obvious to you that everyone on DP sees through your posts of desperation? Each time you post, aren't you digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole? Doesn't it feel like you just can't keep up?

    Breeze, how old are you? What do you do for a living?

    Which is just hilarious, as I tend to think of S.F. as the bluest part of a blue state!

    It's chaos here. Some Democrats have broken ranks with the Unions, after realizing that Govt Union Pensions have almost single handedly bankrupt the state. They are being stepped on by by the remainder of the CA Democratic party who rely on the Unions as one of their largest funding sources. The rest of us sit and bask in the shock and awe of the idiocy. Needless to say, the attitude in SF is different than the attitude in more heavily Latino districts like Los Angeles. I don't even want to talk about Sacramento. By and large, I think the populous gets it, though Meg Whitman did a huge disservice to her campaign by trying to embrace the illegal immigrant population of California after running hard against them in the Republican primary. She's lost a lot of her base for looking like a hypocrite, and I doubt she won many votes amongst them. Like most, I realize she was just pandering to get elected, but that doesn't seem to sit with well with too many people this year. Chris Christie she is not. God help us she turned out to be such a lightweight, because standing on our principals may have bought us 4 years (or less if we can recall) of Gerry "Moonbeam" Brown.

    California has so many people dependent on its social programs, with an immigrant population that has literally tripled in size in the last 8 years, we may not be savable. I know this. The people standing outside outside the city offices of Bell California looking more like a lynch mob than a peaceful democratic assembly were mostly Latinos who immigrated to this country by legal means. One thing seems certain. No matter who wins office this election cycle, there will be no easy ride for them after Nov. 2nd, ESPECIALLY if Republicans take power. With power comes responsibility, and the American people look ready to hold their representation accountable for a change.

    The trend clearly is a flattening of the curve.
    .........

    As I already have pointed out, I have done so by investing in the markets.

    So you want to throw out the Gallup polls as biased outliers, but would credit the Newseek poll as credible, even though it is a poll done by a journal with an admittedly liberal editorial bias, with results that lay 8 points to the left of the next poll to the right, and 10 points out from the median. I've got news for you breeze. Jacking off does not constitute a real or meaningful relationship.

    I agree with Will. Breeze, tell us what "markets" you have invested in.

    You should see what we have in Massachusetts and the rest of New England. The TV and print ads here show the Republicans identifying themselves are Republicans, but the Democrats are afraid to mention that they are Democrats!!!!

    CNN showed some surprising TV ads from Democrats all over the country that were campaigning on "I'm a Democrat and I voted against TARP, health care reform, and other Obama bills".

    Isn't it curious that Dems running for reelection really are running AGAINST Obama?

    Admittedly, time is running short for the Liberal Congress.

    The public will shape the next Congress and it appears in the polling ample room for many surprises......

    Any spectacular events before Nov.2nd? - news has been rather quiet for a while.
