Re: Elections 2012: Congressional and Gubernatorial

Interesting with Scott Brown canceling the final debate due to the storm. I can understand the need to cancel if it were New York, but I can't help but think that the Brown campaign is trying to employ some political stratedgy here.

Brown now saying that there is no need to reschedule the debate. Says voters know where the candidates stand.

While I won't be voting for the man, I think he's right. Their 3 debates have pretty much followed script. I think the point of interest was would first time candidate Elizabeth Warren be able to handle getting attacked in a debate and come off looking bad as several lefty women candidates for office have in recent years (Coakley, O'Brien, etc). She handled it well and beyond that no surprises or major gaffes on either side.

Some FL, VA, and OH Senate race polling:

Also from Indiana:

What’s the effect of state Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s (R) week-old debate comment that pregnancy from rape is something “God intended”?

Depends on whom you ask.

Today, Mourdock’s campaign released a second poll showing his race versus Rep. Joe Donnelly (D) as a statistical tie. His own campaign survey showed Mourdock leading Donnelly, 45 percent to 44 percent.

It’s safe to say, Donnelly’s team sees the race differently. His campaign released its own survey today that showed him leading Mourdock, 43 to 36 percent, among 600 likely voters.

Either way, the race for Indiana’s Senate seat remains highly competitive. Roll Call rates it as a Tossup.

Mourdock’s pollster, John McLaughlin and Associates, conducted his campaign poll Oct. 29-30. Donnelly’s pollster, Global Strategy Group, conducted his campaign poll Oct. 28-30.

Both surveys interviewed 600 likely voters and had a margins of error of 4 points.

One wonders if he receives the same medical care that any of us would?? I suspect his deductible is less than mine

Would a typical top executive get the same health care as any of us? There are thousands if not tens of thousands of said top executives...there are 100 US Senators.

I'm waiting for one them to say that it's really the victim's fault that it was rape because she refused to try and enjoy it.


I really hope that demographic projections are correct and that the current Republican party will be marginalized and/or die out over the next 10-20 years.

Republican coalition:

80%: Old People
20%: Young people who aren't getting laid

The first one will shrink over time, the second as long as alcohol is involved...

According to Republicans, rape is a myth.

One never knows. But the "end" of the Republican party was gleefully predicted after the Goldwater blowout and again after Watergate. Demographics, of course, are another matter. But I wouldn't invest in a lot of crepe just yet.

I dunno, given how ardently Democrats support abortion and birth control, it may well be the case that the Democrat base keeps shrinking due to lack of personnel....
