Commentary: Democrats Pick Up Steam in Senate Races-Progressives weep
Read Time:1 Minute, 35 Second
America’s “Progressive Party,” and I’m not sure there is such a critter, has spent the last two years beating up on Harry Potter. You know the Harry I’m talking about right? Yup! I know you do. President Barack Obama. Once they realized that the president didn’t have a magic wand they branded him as a corporate slave and attacked him at every opportunity. Wahhhhhhh! He lied to us about health care reform. He didn’t wave his wand. Wahhhhhhhhh! He knew all along about the BP oil spill and didn’t get out there and personally clean up the oil. Wahhhhhhhh! He knew all along that the economy would crash so he set out to help it crash. Wahhhhhhhhh! He didn’t repeal “DADT.”. Wahhhhhhhhhhh! He didn’t pull out of Afghanistan. Wahhhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhhh!
So my dear progressive friends this story will make you unhappy because you are determined to defeat the Obama agenda. You are determined to see Sarah Palin elected so that you can wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh for years and years. Here is the story so be sad:
After a several straight losing weeks, the Democrats gained ground in the battle for the Senate this week, according to New York Times polling guru Nate Silver. Based on 100,000 simulations, Silver’s FiveThirtyEight prediction model now gives the GOP just an 18% chance to take the Senate, down from 24% last week. Democrats are projected to emerge with 52 Senators.
Among the recent swings: Nevada now looks like a toss-up, after leaning Sharron Angle’s way last week, while West Virginia and Washington have both shifted in favor of Democrats—the latter dramatically so. Christine O’Donnell’s already slim Delaware odds “are now close to nil.” That said, “it would be dubious to assert that Democrats have some ‘momentum’ at the national level,” Silver warns. In House races, polls still predict “large (potentially very large) Democratic losses.”

Three weeks is a long time in politics, I wouldn’t wager a dime right now on any of the races. The morning of the election I might.
Good point,Mike.It’s not that so many liberals wanted affordable healthcare or systemic financial reform-we’d just rather bitch than put food on the table and have our kids insured.
Point well taken O-man however my point is we cannot expect the president to personally restructure our finances or deliver the food to our table. Peace man 🙂
