Americans have been watching as signs of desperation and panic have been very apparent in the word and actions of Progressives over the last several weeks. In today’s Senate races, indicators in just about every close race for Democratic-held seats – Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania – moved those contests toward the Republican. And in Washington, last-minute polls made clear that Sen. Patty Murray will have a very long Tuesday night, possibly keeping the entire nation waiting to see who controls the Senate. The two remaining wild cards are West Virginia and Alaska. Polls tightened in the Mountaineer state, and Republican Joe Miller got a much-needed dose of good news Monday in the form of a Public Policy Polling survey that showed him with 37 points to 30 points for both Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Democrat Scott McAdams.
Last weekend, it appeared as if a Senate takeover for Republicans was out of the question. But on Election Day, the energy is going to the right in a big way and no one knows how far that goes. That said, polls close in West Virginia at 7:30 p.m. Eastern and that will tell us a lot. If Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin can’t pull that race out despite holding a few point-edge in polls (Nate Silver of the New York Times gives him an 88 percent chance of winning), it’s going to be a very long night for Democrats.
Sho ’nuff hate it for them.
In the House, estimates of how far above 39 seats the Republican pickup would go have been climbing as well. Last week it was 50 to 60 seats. Over the weekend pundits began to mention the 70-seat threshold. The Cook Political Report’s last analysis showed 25 guaranteed GOP pickups, with an additional 49 Democratic-held seats in the tossup category. Democrats can win half the tossups and still see Republicans gain 50 seats.
One of the first races to look for is at 6 p.m., when the first polls of the day close in Indiana and Kentucky. If Rep. Joe Donnelly, the incumbent Democrat in Indiana’s 2nd district, can’t defeat Republican challenger Jackie Walorski, that might be the first sign that GOP gains are going to be much higher than 50 seats. If Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly in Virginia’s 11th district and Democratic Rep. Rick Boucher in Virginia’s 9th district get knocked out when polls there close at 7 p.m., that will be the second sign of an epic wave. That’s why it’s so important to vote!
His campaign travels over, President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) was taping interviews with radio hosts in Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Honolulu and Miami as well as one with Ryan Seacrest of “American Idol” for his national radio show, all for broadcast Tuesday as Americans vote. In one interview he tried to pull back from earlier remarks calling Republicans “enemies” of Hispanics.
Obama, in an interview with talk radio host Michael Baisden, said:
I probably should have used the word ‘opponents’ instead of enemies.
Gee, Scooter. Ya think?
He made the comments week ago in an interview with Univision radio in which he was trying to suck up to Hispanics and get them to vote for Democrats.
Our anti-American President said:
If Latinos sit out the election instead of, ‘we’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder.
John Boehner, the Republican who would oust Democrat Nancy Pelosi as House speaker, responded to Scooter’s rhetoric in a speech Monday in Cincinnati:
Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word ‘enemy’ for fellow Americans … fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government … people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs.
Mr. President, there’s a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don’t call them ‘enemies.’ We call them ‘patriots.’
For more evidence that the Liberals are deperately trying to cover their tracks:
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann announced Monday night that he is stopping his “Worst Person in the World” segment.
I’m sure that both of his viewers will miss the segment terribly.
This horse’s backside, errr, I mean, mercurial host said:
As of right now, I am unilaterally suspending that segment with an eye towards discontinuing it. We don’t know how that works long-term. We might bring it back. We might bring back something similar to it. We might kill it outright.
The change comes after comedian Jon Stewart criticized cable news personalities like Olbermann at this weekend’s embarrassing “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.” Olbermann referenced Stewart’s comments Monday night, saying he agrees that “the tone needs to change.”
Today given the serious stuff we have to start covering tomorrow, we think it’s the right time to do it short-term and then we’ll see what happens.
His apparent agreement with Stewart differs from his attitude Saturday, when he Tweeted his disapproval of the comedian’s remarks about the media at the rally.
Olbermann also defended running the segment over the years:
The anger in this news hour was not an original part of it, nor was it an artifice that we added to it. It was a response to a threat to this democracy posed by [former President George W.] Bush.
Too little. Too late, y’all.
Yesterday, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin wrote the following on her Facebook page, speaking out Congress’ arrogant and egregious passage of the Obamation known as ObamaCare:
They voted against our will that day. Tomorrow it’s our turn to vote against them and put our government back on the side of the people. This is our chance to rebuke their big government power grab, reject their unwanted “fundamental transformation” of America, and start the process of repealing this bill before it buries us under a mountain of debt.
So let’s fire Pelosi, retire Reid, and send all those who were responsible for that disgraceful bill a message that America is still about “We the People.”
Tomorrow is our Freedom Day.
Enshrined in our Constitution is the process for the peaceful transfer of power. Our revolution continues each election at the ballot box, and tomorrow we will renew the spirit of the American Revolution once again.
Let freedom ring!

I praise God that people in the United States are starting to wake up. I hope and pray that today is just the BEGINNING and not the climax of the Tea Party / Take Back America movement.
