calfoxwc Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 <H1 class=section_best_breaking>Charlie Cook: Dem situation has 'slipped completely out of control'</H1> Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business, sent out a special update to Cook Political Report subscribers Thursday that should send shivers down Democratic spines. Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats. "These data confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats. Today, The Cook Political Report’s Congressional election model, based on individual races, is pointing toward a net Democratic loss of between six and 12 seats, but our sense, factoring in macro-political dynamics is that this is far too low," he wrote. "Many veteran Congressional election watchers, including Democratic ones, report an eerie sense of déjà vu, with a consensus forming that the chances of Democratic losses going higher than 20 seats is just as good as the chances of Democratic losses going lower than 20 seats." Cook scrupulously avoided any mention that Democratic control of the House is in jeopardy but, noting a new Gallup poll showing Congress’ job disapproval at 70 percent among independents, concluded that the post-recess environment could feel considerably different than when Congress left in August. "We believe it would be a mistake to underestimate the impact that this mood will have on Members of Congress of both parties when they return to Washington in September, if it persists through the end of the Congressional recess."

calfoxwc Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Like I said before - the pendulum swings one way, then the other. The American people will keep shifting directions to keep the great ship U.S.A. steady on course for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I guess libs' desire to avoid admitting negative things are happening for their lib congresspeaple has slipped completely out of control, too. Too bad. Reality should set in eventually. THEN they will admit, that the bark is falling off the ugly Obama tree, more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Its looking bad for the Dems, we need to watch how they act and what they vote for this fall. They wont be able to pull the same shenanigans next year such as passing another spending/porkulus and get a way with it,so I will predict that they will try this fall to push through any far left legislation they can get in. People abroad are waking up to the ruthless dictatorship under Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
