The long-shot bid by Republicans to retake control of the Senate is suddenly in play, as the prospect of high-profile Republican candidates entering the fray has pushed the GOP even or ahead in polling for 10 races.

The potential candidacies of former Republican Govs. George E. Pataki in New York and Tommy G. Thompson in Wisconsin are improving the polling fortunes of the party as it pursues seats long in the hands of Democrats, while the anti-government "tea party" movement has provided momentum to Republican challengers in states such as Florida, Arkansas and Pennsylvania.

"If the election were held today, the Republicans could come close to winning back the Senate, if not actually win it," said pollster John Zogby.

Looks like Barry's agenda and mega budgets will soon be a thing of the past.

What a difference a little more than a year makes, huh?

Dimocrats were certainly on their high horses after Barry's election. One of those asswipes Bagala or Carville even boasting how they'd rule for at least the next 40 years because they were soooo in tune with the will of the electorate.

But then, gosh, along came the elections in VA and NJ and then MA and they totally got their asses handed to them because of Barry's bungling and the Dims willingness march in lockstep with him.

Now they're simply a shattered mess and facing the prospects of getting thoroughly scorched in November. But keep those chins up. Maybe it'll only take you 40 years to figure out what the folks really want when it comes to hope and change.
 
Pataki in New York?

Do the Republicans think he was popular? He was just Gulianis lap monkey
 
Republicans want to finish the job. I'm amazed at what they were able to do with the world economy and world peace. No political party in history has done so much in so little time.
 
Oh boy! Looks like we can get even less done!!!
Gimmie gridlock over one party rule any day of the week.
With barry in office you want the GoP to have at least one of the others, the house or the senate.

His rediculous 'budget' shows that the man is delussional, he still refuses to accept that the USA is broke and doesn't have funds for his pet socialist projects like 'green' infrastucture.

So much in so little time is a true. It certainly was a lot... but nothing good.
 
The People do not support this President's agenda at this point. Time for some real Checks & Balances on this guy. Any victories for the Republicans will be good for this country. Just pick the issue and this President is sure to be on the wrong side. He really has lost the support of the People. Make 2010 count people.
 
I'm not sure the Republicans can actually gain enough to take back Congress but they can regain enough power to provide some much needed Checks & Balances on this President and the Democrats. If the Republicans just put a halt to this awful Socialist advance,they will have my vote forever. I don't really want them to do much because i believe our Government is already doing way too much. Just halt the awful Socialist advance and that will satisfy me. Make 2010 count people.
 
OMG... :lol::lol::lol: I'm laughing so hard I can barely make out my keyboard. My ribs are aching! :rofl:

Democrats have a big problem in Illinois just two days after the primaries. Scott Lee Cohen, who won the nomination for Lieutenant Governor on Tuesday, has an arrest for domestic violence on his record from just five years ago. Police arrested Cohen for holding a knife to his ex-girlfriend’s throat:

"Scott Lee Cohen — a pawnbroker who shocked state Democratic leaders Tuesday night by winning the party’s nomination for lieutenant governor — was arrested about four-and-a-half years ago and accused of holding a knife to a former live-in girlfriend’s neck, newly obtained court records show.

The misdemeanor charge against Cohen was dropped weeks later when the woman — who had just been found guilty of prostitution — failed to show up to testify, according to those records. …

Cohen’s Oct. 14, 2005, arrest came five months after his wife filed for divorce and convinced a judge to give her a temporary order of protection, records show. A status hearing in the divorce case took place Wednesday, hours after Cohen’s election-night triumph.

Cohen — who records show also had federal tax troubles that he says he has settled — denied in a written statement that he ever hurt the ex-girlfriend or his family. Cohen disclosed his domestic violence arrest when he announced his candidacy, but the details about the knife and prostitution case didn’t surface in the campaign, as Cohen was considered a longshot."
