Pennsylvania: Casey would have to say macaca to lose now (rasmussen)

[12th Doctor]

2) I know our turnout operation is better because I am here on the ground working for it and looking at what we have vs what they have and because we have reports throughout the state that ours is better statewide.  I thought I had explained that, but I guess I had not made that sufficiently clear.

LOL.

MAN is it going to be funny when you guys and your supposedly superior turnout operation get destroyed by Rendell and Casey!!! LOL.

First off, if you had ever acctually read my comments, I have no doubt Rendell is going to clean up.  Second, I'm not saying we are going to win for sure... far from it.  I'm saying this thing is gonna be a lot tighter than people think.

The one thing no Republican ever mentions:

SANTORUM'S APPROVAL RATINGS ARE CRAP

People with net 14% disapproval seldom win, and certainly not Republicans in Kerry states in bad Republican years against the best possible challenger the opponent can get.

Like I said, Republicans must think there is no circumstance whatsoever under which Santorum can lose, because I can't think of more of a worst-case scenario than now.

And when they were good, you refused to acknowledge them so what's the difference? Maybe they're really not bad (See, we can all act immature now, BRTD!)

Deano has really entered the wrong forum. This is not a forum for Dem hacks, it's supposed to be for serious discussions about elections and politics with RESPECT for the other side.

Is there any particular reason why you are not applying this to jfern?

I think the one thing that Santorum has going against him is GOP apathy at this point. When both the Gubernatorial and Senatorial race seem more or less over for your candidates...there is little incentive to get you out to the polls. Santorum is doing a poor job of convincing people he can win in the year of the Democrat, which is discouraging a lot of his base.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the Republicans are violating J.J.'s second rule of elections?

I wonder if J. J. is going to violate his own rule too.

Can you say Debbie Stabenow?

I stand by my prediction Rick Santorum will win, but I wouldn't mind Casey if he doesn't change his views.

He's an idiot, but at least he's pro-life and pro-FMA

That was the point of picking Casey, they needed someone that will be close to Santorum in order to win. Any other Dem like Pennachio which I supported before Casey would of lost, and 2004 with Hoeffel proved this correct.

Correct except the 2004 part. Hoeffel didn't necessarily lose because of his views that year. He was running against a fairly popular incumbent and Hoeffel's own name recognition was terrible especially because he didn't face a primary. I do believe his liberalism would have cost him the race if he ran this year though. I am glad you realize, though, that a Casey Dem is what it takes to win this seat and not liberals like Pennacchio, Hafer, Hoeffel, etc.

Casey is anti-FMA.

The final result will be within 2% either way, you can quote me on that.

Fine.

What happened to this supposed amazing ground game of Ricky's?

[poughies]

no he was right each of them were within two percent of a number divisible by 10.... of course not 50, but rather 60 and 40.

At the end of the day, jfern yells at us a lot for destroying the world and then pretty much does the Internet equivalent of settling down and drinking a beer with us.

Deano pretty much comes here for the yelling.
