to be stopped with their extreme right wing ideas. A landslide will at least make them think what they are doing wrong. At least I hope so.

That's my biggest problem with them -- they simply don't care one bit about what the people really want, what's right for the country or what's fair. They just don't give a shit. All they care about is rewarding their friends, staying in power and everyone else can go to hell.

At this point, I view it like the bar exam. You're just shooting for a D-. All you want to do is pass.

Yes, I understand the implications/narrative of a bigger win, and certainly hope for it, but the most important thing overall right now is a win, is 270.

The good news is if Romney loses, the Teabaggers will double down on their demands for ideological purity claiming it was his squishiness that cost them the race.

I'm not sure that Mourdock has big enough "reverse coattails" to erase a 13% presidential race deficit.

2012 Tossup Senate Races May Come Down To 11th-Hour Blunders
Posted: 10/24/2012 4:09 pm http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/24/2012-senate-races_n_2010816.html?utm_hp_ref=elections-2012

Blunders by candidates in two pivotal Senate races over the past week could end up putting their campaigns in jeopardy, in turn affecting the overall balance of power in the upper chamber.

At a Tuesday night Senate debate in Indiana, Republican Richard Mourdock said that pregnancies that result from rape can be "something that God intended to happen." With only two weeks remaining and most voters decided about the Indiana race, it is unclear whether Mourdock's standing will suffer....

..... Akin now trails McCaskill by 6.9 points in the HuffPost Pollster estimate and the race is now rated as "strong Democratic."
