27. The Republicans will win big.

I have read from several sources like the Cook Report.

Bascially it comes down to several issues.

1.) When George Bush was president, unemployment was about 5%. The president said that if congress did not pass his stimulus package unemployment will go up to 8%. Well the congress did pass the stimulus and unemployment went to 9.7%. Now there are no articles talking about the new normal. That unemployment will remain high and stay that way for the forseable future. The unemployed have been out of work for a long time. They pinned their hopes on Obama and he did not deliver.

2.) The way health care was passed was not pretty. It was rammed down the throats of the voters. Most surveys wanted a go slow approach. So moderates are turned off.

3.) Liberals are fuming. Obama did not close Gitmo, he increased the war in Afganishatan, he is for off shore drilling. So many Liberals will stay home this election.

4.) Jews are against Obama. They are protesting him in NYC.

5.) A friend of mine is gay and he told me that gay people have turned against Obama.

Voters are angry! They are in a vote the bums out mood. The economy is in bad shape. And like President Clinton use to say, "It's the economy stupid."

Lets face the facts. If Scott Brown can win by running against Obama and taking Kennedy's Mssachusetts Senate seat. A seat that was considered safe. Imagine what will happen to all those seats that are considered unsave.
