This thread is to discuss the midterm election that will take place Nov 2, 2010

I think that the Republicans take the house. I think that they will take the Senate or be within 2 seats of Majority.

I predict Rand Paul to win.

I predict Miller from Alaska to win.

I predict Mike Turner to win.

Reid will lose.

Rubio will win.

Pelosi will win.

They can't take the Senate without booting out both Patty Murray in Washington and Barbara Boxer in California.

Here's the situation in Washington:

Murray and Dino Rossi are essentially tied in the polls.

Murray has significantly more money than Rossi and is running constant commercials (even on Fox News) both positive (she favors R & D tax breaks) and negative (Rossi has been raising money from D.C. lobbyists). Rossi's one add is not effective.

Rossi is a two time gubernatorial loser.

Rossi's main primary challenger (football star Clink Didier has refused to endorse Rossi).

Seattle is kooky leftist. East of the mountains is mostly conservative. The question comes down to how people are doing in the Seattle suburbs (where Microsoft and Boeing live).

The economy here is still pretty good. Our housing market didn't crash and burn like it did in so many other places. The unemployment rate is lower than in many other places.

However, Microsoft had their first ever layoffs last year(more than 5,000). Boeing announced lay offs of about 10,000. The layoffs in both companies were spread across the world, not just here.

It's going to be a squeaker. Given the corruption in King County, Murray will probably win by a few hundred votes.

Since this is the era of Chicago-style politics, maybe the question will come down to how many are buried in Seattle cemetaries.

And how many of them can be persuaded to vote democrat.

Here in Seattle is different. They keep recounting the ballots until the Democrat wins.

When Rossi ran for governor in 2004, over 2.8 million votes were cast. After the initial vote count, Rossi led Democrat Christine Gregoire by 261 votes. After the second count, Rossi led by 42 votes. After the third count, Gregoire took a 129 vote lead and won.

Why did they do three counts instead of 2? Because the Democrat was still losing. Why did they stop at 3 and not do 4? Because the Democrat was winning.

They like to lose military ballots prior to the first count. They like to "discover" previously uncounted ballots (in heavily Democratic areas) after the first count.

If Rossi and Murray are tied in the polls, Rossi will lose.

According to war, only republicans engage in vote fraud. (given that he's STILL whining about FLA)

Those damn republicans! They all ought to be shot!

I've never seen you complain about any instance of a possible stolen election in which the democrat came out ahead.

In fact, I've only seen you complain about Florida 2000

And no, I'm not going to scan through 100.000s of your posts (here and at LP) in an attempt to find the perhaps one post where you did.

Sorry.

There was a Congressional election in FL back in the mid90's in which there was obvious fraud on behalf of the dems that i recall making some cynical comments about on MSN.

It certainly didn't measure up to stealing a Presidential election tho...

Gore only tried to steal the election. He failed.
