I predict a LANDSLIDE Democratic victory in November of the likes we have not seen in a LONG time

[greenbriar]

we will be filibuster proof in the senate

the house will be very nicely stacked Democratic as well

[tridim]

1. That what I see too.

Obama will also have an unhackable national lead by September.

[global1]

2. Absolutely - The Repugs Are Just Now Beginning To Realize This.....

they got a wake up call the other day in Mississippi when the Dem congressional candidate won a special election - 3 now - even though the Repugs tried to tie him to Obama/Wright.

Bottom line the American public is fed-up. They are finally seeing after 7+ years what this administration did to them and they don't like it. It took $4.00 gas to get them there. Now *Co is messing with their ability to enjoy some of life's simple pleasures - like being able to take a vacation; go out to eat; see a movie; buy a flat screen TV; take in a ball game; etc.

It's now beginning to hurt. The American public has had to cut back so far that it's impacted on their only way to deal with the rising prices of food, gas and just about everything else. They have adjusted to working more hours and not getting raises. They adjusted to being told - just be glad you have a job.

But now *Co has gone too far - they are having problems even being able to afford to get to their job and don't have money to spend to even take give them a break from all of this.

It's time for a revolt - and November the Repugs will see the effects of such a revolt.

Already - you can see some of the distancing by McCain and other Repug elected officials from *Co. - but it's too little - too late. They are going to get creamed in Nov. and all of Rove's dreams of a uninterrupted reign of Repugs in office will become a nightmare for them.

Thank you George W. Bush. Thank you Dick Cheney. Thank you KKKarl Rove. And thank you to all your cronies and right wing media apologists.

[FrenchieCat]

21. Yep. Bush said go Shopping, and so they did. Now they can't anymore.....

[lsusteel]

3. Let's hope

It'd be great

[dhill926]

4. agreed...esp. if Obama choose well for VP...n/t

[neverforget]

5. From your keyboard to God's ear please be true!

[Douglas Carpenter]

6. I think its VERY possible!!...I'm cautiously optimistic myself

There are a number of reasons.

Among them:

1. Analyst predict that oil could very well reach $200 per barrel

over the next six months. link: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=armYFIWZS8V0&refer=home

There are many, many factors effecting the massive rise in oil price. Although it would not be a stretch to assign some of the responsibility to the policies of the Bush Administration.

But regardless whose fault this is, the consequences will reverberate throughout the entire world economy and the incumbent President of the United States and his Party will be held responsible in the eyes of many, many Americans.

There is no doubt that many, many Americans will associate John McCain with the problem.

This has the potential to create for John McCain and the Republicans a political disaster this coming November.

2. And all of this aside, Rasmussen which has many times be criticized for having a Republican bias reports trending very favorable to the Democrats and very unfavorable to the Republicans. - link:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

"Rasmussen Markets data gives Democrats a 61.5% chance of winning in November (results are updated on a 24/7 basis by market participants)."

"Underlying this dismal outlook for the GOP is the fact that more and more people are considering themselves to be Democrats. In fact, the Democrats now have the largest partisan advantage over the Republicans since Rasmussen Reports began tracking this data on a monthly basis nearly six years ago. " see also this Rasmussen report on Party identity trending: http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/party_affiliation/partisan_trends

3. And on top of everything else, along with a very low interest level as reflecting in very low primary participation, the Republicans are having a lot of trouble raising money for the Presidential campaigns:
http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/index.php

4. President Bush Job Approval. Bush Job Approval Falls to Another All-Time Low: http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/political_updates/president_bush_job_approval
"Sixty-five percent (65%) disapprove of the President’s Performance, up two points from a week ago." "Also in April, as the President’s Approval Rating slipped, the number of Americans who consider themselves to be Democrats remained near the highest levels ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports."

5. Democrats Trusted More on All Ten Electoral Issues Tracked by Rasmussen Reports: http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/trust_on_issues/trust_on_issues

"American voters now trust the Democrats on all ten key electoral issues tracked regularly by Rasmussen Reports. Last month, the GOP’s had an advantage on two issues.

Not surprisingly, the economy is still seen as the most important issue in this year’s presidential campaign--76% of voters say it is a Very Important issue. The Democrats now have a 14-point advantage over the Republicans on this issue, up from eight-points a month ago. Data from the Rasmussen Consumer Index shows that consumer confidence is currently hovering near record lows. Not only is confidence low, three-out-of-four Americans believe that economic conditions are getting worse.

Government Ethics and Corruption is a Very Important issue for 71% of Likely Voters. The Democrats have a huge advantage on this issue—45% now trust them while just 26% prefer the GOP. That lead has also widened since last month, when the Democrats had only a six-point advantage.

Perhaps the biggest surprise comes from the fact that Democrats are now trusted more when it comes to National Security and the War on Terror, an issue long considered a GOP stronghold. The latest polling, however, shows that 49% of voters now trust the Democrats more on this issue while 42% trust the Republicans more. This shift comes at the same time that confidence in the War on Terror has fallen significantly."

30. Wow - its been my hunch there'll be a landslide too

But haven't said it so well laid out until now. Thanks!!

[GoesTo11]

7. Filibuster proof could be interesting

Investigations anyone?

[greenbriar]

13. oh yea

that is going to be the best part

[musicblind]

20. I really doubt there will ever be any investigations

even though there probably should.

[FrenchieCat]

22. Wexler, Waxman and Conyers didn't all endorse Obama for nothing......

the candidate who taught the constitution.

[musicblind]

24. I hope that you are right

I would be very happy over it.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Nothing frightens Clinton supporters more, but that's how it looks early on to me, too.

[reflection]

9. I'm feeling that vibe also

It's like there's something in the air.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. It's probably a safe bet.

Other than Obama divorcing Michelle to marry a seductive parakeet, the Dems should waltz to a grand victory in November.

[Phx_Dem]

11. Agreed!

I think people that think McCain is a strong candidate are in for a big surprise come November.

[mmonk]

12. Don't underestimate the power of the dark side.

[Condem]

14. Amen, mmonk

So much ignorance out there. Scary shit.

[Carrieyazel]

15. We could get 56-57 in the Senate, but not 60.

We could gain up to 20 seats in the House, though. Pelosi will have a real majority.

[totodeinhere]

16. This notion put forth by Clinton supporters that Obama is unelectable is BS.

You are right. Obama in a landslide.

[workinclasszero]

17. I agree, its gonna be a Republican bloodbath in the GE!

No Thug seat is safe in the fall, not one!

President Obama will have a solid majority and clear sailing in the House and Senate to pass all the legislation he needs to get America back on track and headed for the future.

I cant wait for the day after the election, to hear the wailing and lamentations of the miserable little minority Rethugs that survive the massacre!:rofl:

[Blondiegrrl]

27. Photo illustration of the GOP during the GE:

[anonymous171]

18. They're best attacks aren't working. Their reign of terror is about to come to an end.

[Imagevision]

19. McCain voted 3 times to NOT have MLK holiday, after Obama exposes more of McCain background

and what the man is responsible for I too believe Obama will be Landslide - I will accept whatever odds vegas will be offering because it's a sure win!

[AtomicKitten]

23. Rumor has it 70 Senate seats. Fingers crossed.

[Blondiegrrl]

25. ... and we have George W. Bush to thank for it all.

Don't say he never did anything for us!

:rofl:

[Beregond2]

26. My brother said the same thing tonight.

He said it will be the first Reagan landslide in reverse. I was relieved. I was afraid he was veering to the right on me. It's not always easy to ell when he's kidding.

[Shine]

28. Yup, it's gonna be historic. I totally agree!!

:toast: The GOP's days are numbered.....

McCain is toast.

Obama landslide. :woohoo:

[jrandom421]

29. Memories of 1964

The last Democratic landslide. John McCain may get blasted worse than Goldwater. He may not even carry Arizona. There's a whole bunch of people who remember when McCain switched from Democrat to Independent to Republican, and have not forgiven him for it.
