Blood bath in the November elections

Maybe. But considering the candidates that the Tea Party is pushing, maybe not.

the tea party candidates have demonstrated a regular ability to take out establishment Rep candidates in the primaries. Angle seems poised to win in Nevada, Rubio is doing well in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky... yeah, O'Donnell looks like she's going to lose. that's still a pretty good track record.

Do you really see the nation kicking out the GOP because they disowned people like McDonnell and Angle?

no, i see a Tea Party splitting the conservative vote if they decide the Republicans aren't going to live up to their claims. Democrats will win the nation with 45% of the vote: Republican 35%, Tea Party 20%.

All signs point to a blood bath in the November elections for the Democrats....They could lose up to 100 seats in the House and up to 12 or 13 in the senate...Seats in the Senate like in Wisconsin (Feingold) California (Boxer) and Washington (Murray) bastions for the Democrats for many years are in play..........It is obvious that America is rejecting the Obama agenda of socialism....Hopefully Conservatives and Tea Party candidates can reverse the damage that the Obama agenda has heaped on this country for the last 4 years..........

How sweet it is......................

And McCain is president. So is Rudy Giuliani. And Mitt Romney. They're all president. TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

Which does not mean they can govern.

That doesn't address my point at all. Winning primaries doesn't mean squat in the context.

I do agree with your last point.

that is true and is yet to be tested. however, governing least does have strong overlap with governing best, so i am more confident in them than i am in those who tend to think that government is a cure-all.

those candidates are poised to win their generals.

which is what i meant; in fact those numbers are a best-case scenario for the republicans. it is very possible we would see their full replacement.

Only if the Tea Party will be an official option on all the ballots, and we all know how incredibly inefficient voting officials are.

Please continue talking this up. Democrats aren't going to lose more seats because of your preemptive triumphalism, but it does expose Republicans to embarrassment if the results are disappointing. I approve of this message.

I am and Independent and a Conservative and it will feel soooooooooo good to see the Obama socialist government rejected.............

I actually supported Thompson and voted for McCain but in my heart I knew he could not win....I would have voted for a broomstick if it was the Republican candidate over a socialist like Hussein Obama........

I remember you betting McCain was going to win...

...it's too bad I was not around here for election so I could have collected on that bet.

Sorry the only way I would ever bet money is if it were a sure thing.............McCain was old and honest........He had little chance to defeat a man like Obama............The only bet I actually made was with Bill Oreilly on the 2005 super bowl and that was if I won he would wear and Avatar of Rush for one week and if he won I would wear and avatar of Hillary for one week...I won................

You did not bet money. The deal was if McCain had won, I would wear his picture as an avatar for a month, if Obama won, you would wear his picture for a month. I will see if I can find the bet, but it's going to be a hard thing to search for.

In all Honesty November 2nd could well be a big disapointment for Conservatives. I have NO doubt that 4 Senate seats at least will be picked up , and I'd say 30 in the House, but still some of this polling is not taking into account some sub groups, underclass' etc. They do not Vote for Republicans, AND early Voting in some States makes it easier for even the perpetually inebriated to stay awake for half of one day every month and have some helper make out their ballot.

You have to be positive my friend.......I feel confident the GOP will take the house and if a couple of Senate races break right it could be a clean sweep...Keep your fingers crossed...................

Tell that to Hoover and Buchanan. Or Pierce. Less government does not always equate to better government. Take Somalia for example. That didn't even have a government for years.

That remains to be seen.
