If Angle beats Reid, it's a win/win for the (D)'s! You get rid of Reid for us, and puts a crazy right wingut in the national spotlight!

If the debate is any indication she isn't the wingnut she has been accused of being. In fact, neither is O'Donnell (although she doesn't stand a chance).

It's no Tsunami. More like the typical off year minority party gain.

You are NUTS. There is nothing "typical" about what's getting ready to happen. That much is clear. Where the hell are you getting your election coverage? Even Chris Matthews is depressed these days, what with the tingle up his leg missing.

This situation is out of control for the Ds. They can't even keep Kucinich safe.

==============================

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained the results of a private poll conducted last night in Ohio-10, the Cleveland-area district held for seven terms by Democrat Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich has been widely viewed as safe—even though he fell short of 60 percent of the vote in 2008, and the district has a Cook PVI of only Dem +8.

The poll (based on a small but respectable 319 person sample, with a margin of error of 5.6 percent, weighted to eliminate gender bias) shows Kucinich ahead of his opponent, Peter Corrigan, by only 4 percent. The profile of undecided voters suggests they may break for Corrigan by about 3-2. And Corrigan's 4 percent deficit turns into a 4 percent Corrigan lead when voters are given information on Kucinich's ties to corrupt local Democratic leaders, and on Kucinich's support for illegal immigration. These are signs that undecided voters could be pushed to go Corrigan’s way. Furthermore, Corrigan is running even with Kucinich among those who've already requested their absentee ballot, as early voting has already started in Ohio.

Corrigan is up on radio, but not on TV. He is doing direct mail to 150,000 households with persuadable voters. He has little cash on hand—but so does Kucinich (Kucinich had $88K to Corrigan's $35K at the end of the last filing period, and Kucinich outraised Corrigan in the 3rd quarter by only $30K).

Could be an interesting race for people to consider last minute contributions to—or even IE expenditures, perhaps focused on national security, where Kucinich’s militant hostility to American victory abroad, and to supporting the troops, is probably at odds with his blue-collar constituents.

That's right.

At an event Sunday, an overflow 35K people turned out for the president EVERYONE HATES ACCORDING TO THE KRAUT. The young vote won't turn out except that that 35K which dwarfed the 26K turnout at the UW @ Madison was on a college campus. Blacks won't turn out because they don't like midterms.....except early voting in Cuyohoga and Franklin counties......Dem counties around Cleveland is having the highest turnout in years. Ditto for IO where dems are outpacing Rs. Ditto for NV where Dems in LV are outpacing Rs in Reno.

But yeah, its a tsunami for the Rs this year......except does anyone remember the tsunami after the Chile quake that hit the HW beaches with 3 foot waves. Tsunamis are not always big. So sorry.

Obama, Obama, Obama...........
