87. Nate Silver has 7 likely GOP pick-ups in the Senate
Edited on Sat Apr-17-10 08:57 AM by AllentownJake
As of right now, when Nate Silver says there are 7 DNC seats possible to go GOP and the projected pick-up states from 2008 of Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina looking less likely, I'd say 6 months out we are going to get our ass kicked.

Nate is hardly a GOP source. If anything he tends to side on the optimism for democratic candidates...he totally blew the MASS race.

They have 6 months...they aren't going to do anything about the economy in that time. Trend lines I'm seeing project 2% to negative GDP growth for the rest of the year and little job creation.

Their only way to restore popularity would be some perp walks on Wall Street, which given the Lehman and Wamu and now Goldman Sachs report I have read, are open and shut cases.

They indict, I'm back on the reservation, no indictments, I'm pretty much sitting out other than casting a ballot and I will be looking at third parties in a few races to make a statement.

Firmly on board my democratic Governor's race and State Rep...not so much on the congressional.

The Senate Race is no choice in PA....Pat Toomey is a very scary man.
