		<description>It also occurs to me that the far-left netroots are demoralized because their big push to toss Joe Liebermann overboard and anoint Ned Lamont in his place has fallen flat.

The netroosters who only a month ago were flying high are now outside the big tent looking in. They were going to be kingmakers in the Democrat Party and now they have become today&#039;s untouchables.

The netroosters are getting the cold shoulder from establishment Dem leadership, their calls don&#039;t get returned. Kos who? Howard Dean has pulled financial support from Lamont, and Harry Reid has already started sucking up to Liebermann, offering to let him retain his seniority which puts him in line for a choice committee chairmanship, if only he&#039;ll forgive and forget, you know, throw in with the guys who stabbed him in the back.

Given the confusing state of affairs, the Dem base isn&#039;t going to the polls in anywhere near the numbers necessary to win. Dems are divided against themselves and fighting over core values.

The old guys have lost every time out for the last 12 years, and the new guys have blown it big time with Lamont. And, not even good old reliable Dan Rather is around to ride to the rescue at the last moment this time.

Additionally,  Dem Congressional leadership, Harry Reid and Nancy Pilosi are nowhere to be seen. They&#039;re afraid to show their faces for fear of turning off potential voters. They&#039;ve become too loathsome to be seen in public.

Karl Rove and GWB are optimistic for good reasons.</description>

		<description>Well, Krauthammer&#039;s point is well taken, but I do expect a slaughter next week. I actually think Burns can pull this one out. Allen is going to hang on by his fingertips, but of course, no White House run for him.

The one that has me livid is DeWine, who may not be a great shining city on a hill of a politician, but still doesn&#039;t deserve to lose to middleweight leftist Sherrod Brown. The biggest problem IMO is Voinovich, who is more popular and could and should have spent some time these past couple weeks campaigning for Mike DeWine. Instead he&#039;s spent all his time opposing a ballot measure that would allow some form of gambling. See this story here: http://www.cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=315555&amp;Category=9&amp;subCategoryID=

We get it -- he hates Issue 3. Anything about DeWine? Nope.

Mr. Blue Crab, you should write about that: We might lose the Senate because Voinovich is off on a quixotic quest to end gambling as we know it. Wait, not end gambling, just hold off certain kinds. Completely moronic.</description>

		<description>I disagree with the CW, the GOP is going to do much better than the pundits expect. Dems are over confident, the GOP has a better ground game, the momentum is all on the Republican side, and perhaps most importantly Conservatives are not going to sit this one out.

Dems oppose voter ID requirements because it would put a stop to their fraudulent efforts to give illegal aliens the vote, and it would hamper their usual graveyard constituency from participation as well.

American voters aren&#039;t quite as complacent or as pliable as Dems assume. And, enough voters know, or at least fear, that given half a chance Dems will cut and run in Iraq, that&#039;s what&#039;s at stake. Vote Democrat and it won&#039;t be long before we&#039;ll be fighting Al Qaeda&#039;s terrorists in the middle of Main Street, USA.

Dems are wrong on Iraq, wrong on immigration, wrong on taxation, wrong on social issues, and wrong for America.

Dems represent a hate filled and arrogant elite attempting to dominate electoral politics by concealing their true nature while their allies in the media portray them favorably and denigrate the GOP opposition.

I don&#039;t believe Americans are stupid, lazy, or gullible enough to buy Dem/MSM snake oil. We&#039;ll know by Tuesday evening PST.</description>
