Did you see Howard Dean on the ed show?

He agreed with ed that Rick scott's declining poll numbers could be a preview of other republican's numbers to come

He mentioned poll with Jason Carter leading Deal by 4 In Georgia and says he thinks dems could win governor and Lt Governor In
Texas. If that could happen it would be nightmare for republicans.

Polling was bad In Texas. However remember things can change from spring to october.

This election Is going to throw the MSM playbook out the iwndow. Obamacare Isn't going to the great issue it was In 2010.

Some polling has support from Obamacare up and possibly close to 50 percent approval. Of course any polling country like wall street journal does will make the MSM attention.

They're going to follow their right wing leaders just as they always have.
I'd be willing to bet anything that the next president (Hillary I hope) won't win by over a 2% margin.
Most voters are totally uninformed or misinformed of the true issues and will vote just as they've always voted.

I don't seem to be able to convince any of the Republicans I know of the error of their ways. And these are mostly people on fixed incomes.
They can't seem to get past having a black man in the white house.
As I said. Stupid!
