RCP polling (which incorporates all polling data, even the obvious left-leaning outliers) is pointing towards this as well.

Perhaps the biggest indicator of a GOP wave is that not one of the 'at risk' incumbent Dems is anywhere near 50% in the polls.
Historically, that's political death.

No, we do not remember that. Probably because it never happened.
Now, let's try this yet again. What rights do Caucasian men have that blacks, Hispanics, and women do not have? Name one. Just ONE!

NOW, just a week out from the actual election we start to see a little reality in the polls because even the pollsters who are still trying to manipulate voters don't want to be too far from reality come election day or they just look stupid.
Romney in a landslide, if they can contain the cheating.....(pre and post election)"

"GOP Could See 'Tsunami' of Voters on Election Day"
Posted: 06-Nov-12
I won't be making any wagers this one... not unless someone wants to bet against Al Franken... ;)
How does Spike's prediction and my simple posting of a pundit's noting of a poll showing Romney squeaking out a win by a small margin qualify as "they" predicting a "landslide?"
In hindsight too much weight was being put on National polls and too little on the battleground states that pointed to the inevitable outcome.
The fallacy though in trying to compare prognasicators picks for Senate and House raises to the Presidential race is here there is no over-reliance on national polls; each race's predictions are based solely on the relevant demographic-that district or state's (or portion thereof) voters.
RCP, which probably represents the best barometer still looks to have a minimum of 53 (R) Senate seats after the election and a few House pick-ups.
NH will tell the tale on whether it's a wave or a tsunami; if Scott Brown wins NH look for the rout to be on.
No, we do not remember that. Probably because it never happened."
Oh good grief. You can't be serious.
Over the last year I attended town hall meetings and a few speeches. I swear some people would hoop and holler in support even if their candidate said they were going to poison their dog. The political hacks and their blind support of an R or D are freak'in unbelievable.
Both parties have F'd us.
The GOP wins whether they are in the majority or not. Bigger government and more liberalism has and will continue to benefit both parties.
In past weeks all the talking heads and pollsters had Sullivan way ahead of Begich ... now it's a slight lead. And you know what all the local talk always had Begich ... and IMHO Natives aren't polled or answer to polls and they back Begich big time.
Stuff, democrats give them Stuff.
You can and they do....
Both parties do it to voters and their team still loves and defends them. It is American culture to be on a winning team. Politics is not Football...
When you give Republicrats your vote, you're telling them to go ahead and keep doing what their doing.
They convince their voters the Country will topple if they don't fall in line and most stay on the plantation for whatever excuse they FEEL will win the approval of their peers.
I was talking to a guy Saturday that was espousing Libertarian/Constitutional conservative values. He got me rolling on Romney and was agreeing with me until I said I couldn't vote for someone that liberal and voted Johnson.
You could have heard a pin drop and after an awkward pause he sheepishly said I voted for Romney. Then went into how bad Obama was as his excuse to compromise his beliefs previously espoused.
It is sad how many voters are just like Dock Eating but won't own it like he does.....
Thank you for helping keep Obama in Office.
Economy and War
and Obama is continuing the half azz war we will never win and my 401K is in good shape.
Missouri has had great gains on Gun rights Romney would have gave us an Assault weapons Ban with NRA support.
If you dig into reality a bit the Race War is Obama's only accomplishment that Romney wouldn't have acheived.

Roll in tide, roll in.....
What a guy!
Don't go away, Fauxdoc. We need the entertainment value you bring to Bowsite.
Seems like Sister Sarah has even figured it out as she is has jumped ship and now backing the very liberal 'Unity' ticket.
From The Daily Caller:
Exclusive: Poll Shows Ed Gillespie Down Just 4 Points In Virginia
"Republican Ed Gillespie is within striking distance of pulling off an upset in Virginia, according to a new poll provided exclusively to The Daily Caller.
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Warner is leading Gillespie 44 percent to 40 percent in the GOP-leaning Vox Populi poll. Libertarian Robert Sarvis has 5 percent in the poll.
Over the summer, Vox Populi was the only polling firm to show former House majority leader Eric Cantor struggling in his Virginia primary days before the election. Cantor went on to shockingly lose that race.
A Gillespie win over Warner would shock most political observers, who have predicted an easy win for Warner.
In a recent interview with The Daily Caller, Gillespie, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, predicted he would continue to gain on Warner.
“We’ve closed a big gap,” Gillespie said. “You know, when I got in, we were down 29 points to Mark Warner.”"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My word, if the GOP picks up this seat, 'tsunami' won't even begin to describe the election results!
If Hagan eeks out a win in NC, it will be 100% the fault of the libertarian candidate, Sean Haugh, who is a total wack-job.
Hagan can't get above 45% in the RCP average, which is very bad news if you're the incumbent. That means the only way she can win is to hope the 'not-Hagan' vote gets split. Haugh is doing just that, siphoning off 4-5%.
If NC required the winner get a majority, as Georgia and Louisiana do, Hagan would be toast.
I love this old gentleman!

From the link:
Overall, by 49-39 percent, Kansas likely voters want Republicans to win control of the Senate.
The new poll of Kansas likely voters finds independent Greg Orman has a one-point edge over Republican Sen. Pat Roberts: 44-43 percent. Three weeks ago, Roberts was up by five (44-39 percent).

Re-posted link to entire story. I had selected the polling data lest anyone attempt to miscast the significance of the figures.
Wasn't it just a few days ago he (or she, or whatever...) agreed to fade into oblivion if R's won "any significant election" on Nov 4?
Pete
fair?
From the link:
"...Normally, I am not a partisan advocate. I am a registered Democrat, though I vote as an independent.
Not this year. This is a national emergency and the only responsible action is to vote Republican for every federal office.
Sparing even a favorite Democrat or two could allow Obama to spin defeat as a minor loss. Most worrisome, if Dems keep the Senate, the election will further entrench a corrupt government and further erode America’s strength and influence.
That is not a chance worth taking. Six years is enough. Collective punishment is the appropriate answer..."
While I agree with the sentiment of the piece, I am distrustful of anyone who puts non-partisan, democrat, and independent in the same sentence.
One thing I've noticed about Bowsite CF guys.......they give what they get.
You offer respect and civility, you get that in return.
But if you sow your disrespect to the wind, you will "reap the whirlwind". That's a fact.
Have a little cheese with that whine Sparky.
The ultimate show of disrepect is to join a largely conservative forum under the pretense of coming to engage in "spirited debate" and then proceeding to cull one cut-and-paste after another from the likes of HuffPo, DailyKOS, DU or others.
To willfully "contribute" posts that cast the vast majority of posters here in the worst possible light and that pander to the lowest common denominator only highlights that lack of respect.
To have your backside handed to you repeatedly by fact-supported posts and then run from those threads rather than own up to your misinformed postings only to repost the same refuted crapfest under another title is again displaying a complete lack of respect.
You have been accorded EXACTLY the level of respect you have EARNED Sparky and not one iota less.
You have consistently displayed a complete lack of integrity and an equal lack of shame. You want to kick the hornets nest and get a free pass from the occupants. I'd say you have quite the supply of balls but I think it's more likely to be an overly developed sense of self-importance. Newsflash-you are impressing no one and fooling no one.
Take your pity party on the road Sparky; it's playing about as well here as your faux credentials.
Then more assignments to conservative forums and the shameless attempt at defense regarding anything critical of leftist/socialists in the next election run up. More cut and paste off the cheat sheet from KOS/DU et al.
It's why they are here. The only reason. And as is SOP.... disingenuous as well....
You mean not counting the times you've accused us of being racists, buffoons, uniformed hicks, of hating the poor, women, and minorities, etc?
Not counting those?
Edited for honesty. Thought you might like to experience the feeling at least once in your life.
"I'll do my part as far as voting and if the GOP win overwhelming majority , then I'll reerve my posts for the CT and NY state bow hunting forums. Fair?"
A.) Given the lack of credibility you've shown here in the past, why should we believe you'd actually do that?
B.) Define 'overwhelming majority.'
Blessed be the children, for of such is the Kingdom of God.
How u like dem apples? Have fun on your state forums, loser!
