Hell, don't matter for sh*t who will be president IF

[elleng]

the congressional numbers Rachel is reciting actually transpire.

OK, I'm for Mr. Wang at Princeton, and holding breath due to the length of time between now and elections. BUT important elections THIS november.

1. but wait....

[elleng]

2. YES, Yes, I edited,

I'm for HIM! LOGIC tells me he should be correct, but how often has 'logic' won??

At times like this I WISH I liked to drink more than I do.

3. this 1994 Kennedy commercials are amazing

quite hard on Rmoney

[elleng]

4. Yes, they were as they should have been.

[irisblue]

5. So when Dems tell the truth about how the Rs are

and produce truthful hardball statements....people listen...huh, go figgure

[elleng]

6. Right, have to be hard hitting and truthful,

but truth is not something there's a lot of due to abundant and loud lies repugs produce so Dems have to way outperform.

7. I read Mr. Wang's prediction in the 2012 election and was encouraged by the things I read.

Like you, I heard what Rachel was saying tonight and was just kind of sickened by what I heard her say. Then she mentioned Mr. Wang and I got a little bit encouraged not to abandon all hope. We are so screwed if the Repubs gain the Senate and I just can't even deal with the thought, much less the reality of that happening. I have a feeling it's going to be a long season until election day. I remember crying like a baby in 2004 when Shrub got re-elected. I had gotten really involved in the local Democratic group and attended a number of rallies, met Elizabeth Edwards and saw John speak at the airport here in Pensacola the night before the election. I was fully expecting Kerry to win that election and when he didn't I almost lost complete faith in the "system". I had to talk myself into getting interested in the 2008 election and voted enthusiastically for Obama. I had no idea what we were in store for after the Republicans met in secret and planned how they would deal with the newly elected President.

So I hope against all hope that Mr. Wang is right. I told my husband if we lose the Senate in November I would seriously consider leaving this country, but my problem is three grandchildren that I adore and wouldn't want to leave. Plus, I am not sure where I'd go. But I have come to really distrust our current electoral system and know what the Republicans have done to set things up so they can win...no matter what. If we never worried before about the outcome of an election, we SHOULD be worried this time and do everything we can to get our fellow Democrats OUT TO VOTE.

8. I'm with you 100%, Grammy23,

and I did cry @ DC primary for '04 when Wes Clark failed. And I so recall election night, after bush's rove pushed the button and 'fixed' the numbers. Tried to explain to daughter after we'd spoken, I from the office, what had happened, but of course I couldn't.

I also would leave the country but for grandbabies. Repugs and foolish monied interests are messing up the entire world's economy. Watch China (by default) try to set it straight.

9. A general rule of thumb for mid-term elections is:

"If your party is in the White House, expect to lose Congressional seats." It's been that way for all but 3 of the past 26 mid-terms.

And this year, like 2 years ago, there is no Democrat running for the House in my district
