With just 24 days to go, Republicans have the lead in 10 states for the senate, and in the House
Ideologically, our president portrayed himself as an agent of change. He denied the seemingly inevitable ascension of the former First Lady, to the position of “leader of the free world”. He doctored his speeches to conceal the evident phraseology favoring Marxist governance, and plowed through the American people who decried his calls for socialized medicine, Keynesian fiscal policy, federal takeover of private entities, and further destruction of our dollar. Now, we stand a mere 3+ weeks from REAL change.
Here are the latest RealClearPolitics.com polling averages of the 10 key states that Republicans must win, to unseat Prince Harry:
Colorado - Ken Buck - 48%, Michael Bennet (incumbent) - 44%
Illinois - Mark Kirk - 41%, Alexi Giannoulias - 39.8%
Nevada - Sharron Angle - 43.8%, Harry Reid (incumbent) - 43.5%
West Virginia - John Raese - 48%, Joe Manchin - 43.5%
Pennsylvania - Pat Toomey - 47%, Joe Sestak - 40.4%
Wisconsin - Ron Johnson - 52.3%, Russ Feingold (incumbent) - 42.3%
Indiana - Dan Coats - 50.5%, Brad Ellsworth - 33.5%
Arkansas - John Boozman - 54.7%, Blanche Lincoln (incumbent) - 35%
North Dakota - John Hoeven - 69.7%, Tracy Potter - 23.2%
Connecticut - Richard Blumenthal - 52.4%, Linda McMahon - 43.2%
In the states that the Republican candidate has the lead in, 6 of them have a lead of greater than 5 percentage points. In California and Washington the incumbent Democrats (Barbara Boxer and Patti Murray), are under 50%. If Dino Rossi or Carly Fiorina can get a late surge, the Republicans will return to power. Astoundingly, Joe Manchin, governor of West Virginia, has a solid approval rating, yet trails in his senate bid. Clearly, a sign of absolute repudiation of this president.
On the House side, all signs point to a GOP takeover there, too. Current projections have the Republicans with 210 seats, and the Democrats with just 181. Incumbents who have spent a generation in power, are either trailing, or hanging on for dear life. Recently, Nancy Pelosi was quoted as saying that for every dollar a person receives in food stamps, $1.79 gets put back into the economy, and "It is the biggest bang for the buck when you do food stamps and unemployment insurance. The biggest bang for the buck”. It is extraordinarily clear that the powers that be in our legislature…moreover, the “elites” who concern themselves more with inventing new ways to consolidate their power, care more about enslaving the American people into federal welfare programs, than empowering us as a people to be independent. From cap and tax, to universal health care, to laws regulating what we can and cannot eat, to violating the 2nd amendment, to appointing Czars to carry out tasks with NO foresight from elected officials who directly represent the people, the promises of this president of transparency and accountable government were blatant, horrific lies. He rode a tidal wave of anti-Republican feelings, and fed off of fear of President Bush. Aided by the liberal media in covering up his radical agenda, the American people entrusted him to clean up Washington. He promised to “fundamentally transform America”, and he’s done a good job.
November 4th, 2008 was a day where America sacrificed it’s collective freedom, in hopes that our newfound savior would swoop in, undue 8 years of hell from the Bush administration, and return us to the promised land. What we have gotten is crippling debt which threatens our treasury bonds, a tax code which our Democrat-led congress left town without clarifying, a health care system which focuses more on government bureaucracy and loss of personal freedom than cutting costs and ensuring top quality, and an energy path to ruin.
Keep your change, Obama. And I WILL have hope.
