Cook: Dems Could Lose The House
By Ed Carson
Fri., Jan. 08, ’10 – IBD
Veteran political analyst Charlie Cook says retirements are creating a “vicious circle” for Democratic politicians. For the first time, he sees a significant risk that Democrats could lose the House this year if trends continue. (Somebody alert RNC Chairman Michael Steele).
From Cook:
How many other wavering House — or Senate — Democrats will look at the past five weeks and decide that spending the rest of this year as a lame duck is more attractive than spending a horrific year fundraising, scarfing down fast food, and shaking hands — all the while facing the very real possibility of losing in the end? When their party starts singing endless choruses of “This is going to be a lousy year,” lawmakers can easily find themselves humming along.
Come November, Senate Democrats’ 60-vote supermajority is toast. It is difficult, if not impossible, to see how Democrats could lose the Senate this year. But they have a 50-50 chance of ending up with fewer than 55 seats in the next Congress.

An interesting turn of events is watching the old boys club in DC thrash about. Yes little old boys club, take a look at most of the women they have allowed into DC circles, Hillary, Nancy, Babs, Sheila and many others. A bunch of morons that the LOBC let have their way as they might an unruly spoiled child. Now you can understand why the reaction towards Palin and McCaskill, these are capable women not easily appeased and manipulated numbskulls.
The LOBC do’nt like this, not one bit. You might think they would get mad at us for liking Palin and try to lash out at us and you would be right. But hold on a minute, the one thing that is worse than having a woman like Sarah or Claire is being relegated to third fiddle by them, they just can’t tolerate that. I think we can expect to se some strange turnabouts in the next twelve months, strange turnabouts indeed.
Whoever said a revolution could not be a lot of fun?

I do not know why I wrote McCaskill… Michelle Bachman is who I should have named. See what I mean I can’t even mane a good one w/o mistaking her for one of the morons.
