If Markey and Salazar were smart then they both could've founds ways to be re-elected. My advice would've been to listen to Harry Truman's advice from so long ago that is still relevant today. IMHO, they both were towers of pudding and triangulated themselves out of a job. Salazar even got caught pretending he wasn't a Democrat in an amazing video filmed by a democratic activist in DC. Way to go, John!
He also was so complacent (some felt lazy was the word for it at the time) that he didn't really get out there and work at getting reelected until very late.
Markey is targeting
She shouldn't be too partisan – that's not the way for her to win. Professionalism and competence is.
just to be clear, I like Markey and hope she can resurrect something in this race. Would have much preferred her in the House……
Zap, I would liked for Markey to have kept that seat, too, but it is a pretty solidly red district and we owe her a debt of gratitude for prying Muskrat's sorry carcass out of it. Better luck this time.
Until and unless the GOTP morphs into a sane, rational political entity completely unrecognizable from the debased, deranged, unhinged, nihilistic, racist, reactionary, hypocritical, power-mad, plutocratic, regressive, morally, culturally, spiritually and ethically bankrupt cabal it is today, it has most likely seen the last "wave" it ever will.
I think that just about covers them, DP. From your lips to the elecotate's ears. We need to buttonhole every wishy-washy unaffilated voter we can find with exactly that message
It's not the wishy-washy unaffiliateds that worry me. It's the lazy Dems and the fact that the R's are dedicated voters.
Even if they do quite well in 2014 due to a challenging senatorial election map for Dems, demographics are coming to overwhelm them, eventually to overwhelm many gerrymandered districts in southwestern states.
They've already lost their ability to win a national election. They'll never elect enough Senators to override a Dem President's veto and until they take their party back from the extremists who run it now, including those laughingly called moderate, they aren't going to have a GOTP President to sign legislation or a GOTP 60 vote block in the Senate (if they get a whisper thin majority there in 2014 they'll lose it in 2016) to get legislation even that far. They aren't going to be able to get anymore conservatives onto the Supreme Court without a Republican in the WH either.
Not saying there's nothing to worry about but remembering the positives too is good for the blood pressure. Also a big cleansing breath or two.
If taking back the Senate and picking up seven Senate seats, as projected by RCP is not a wave, so be it. I would be OK with that.
Please do bet your very last dollar on such an unlikely outcome, and keep placing your unquestioning faith in the RCP B.S. parade. Nothing would make us happier — at least until election day itself.
Republicans will take back the Senate this year. Obama will end his failed presidency with Congress united against him.
It's not an unlikely outcome, even Nate Silver predicts it.
You might get 50, maybe 51 seats. No more. And I don't give a rat's rump what Silver (who has been far from infallible) says. You want reliable prognostication, it's Sam Wang or nothing.
And come 2016, you're going to surrender all of that back and then some, while losing the WH yet again. Enjoy!
i AGREE. Doesn't idiot Andrew realize you ain't getting any right wing legidlation passed if you don't have a republican in the white house and good luck with that Andrew. You right wingers wont be winning the white house anytime soon LOL
Not- You are right. It will not be until atleast 2016, The House and the Senate will have to do until then.
Sweet…another Mitt Romney candidacy…"third time is the charm"…Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha……
This is gonna be fun.
At which time a Dem will be elected President and, if the Dems have lost the Senate, they will get it back.
Same thing was said in 2010 and 2012, and failed Presidency that is a good joke.
Not exactly. You need to read things all the way through, modster.
Even if Rs do take a bare majority (Nate isn't positing that as a given just yet) in the Senate they won't have the 60 votes they'll need just to get legislation to Obama's veto pen. It would, if it happens, probably set them up for a big fall in 2016 when Dems will have the advantage in a presidential year election with Rs even more poorly positioned, thanks to demographics, to take the WH.
I don't know, I think that 2010 is the start of a 'permanent conservative majority,' followed in 2012 by the Righteos Landslide the Deposed the Usurper and began the thousand-year reign of King Mitt the Just-A-Normal-American-Guy & Queen Anne, dotted on by his loyal Turd Blossam who out it all in motion years before when he sent the Brooke Brother Boys to Florida for the Coup.
And republicans will lose the SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE AGAIN 2 YEARS LATER. What's your point moron Andrew? The GOP's failed policies WILL NEVER BECOME LAW. 😉
RCP also predicted that the Senate would go republican in late September in 2012 you ignorant jackass – you can wave the Senate goodbye.
Didn't they also say Romney would win by a landslide or that was some other right wing website? LOL
Andrew, are you ok with the democrats blocking the GOP's legislation or Obama using his veto pen? Are you ok with the democrats taking back the senate and white house in 2016?
