Mind you, who knows what this means..

It's Drudge and the NYTimes, so usually I'd put this in the same category as the Psychic Hotline...

But anyway....

NYT LEAD MONDAY: Both parties see possibility of bigger Republican wins in House than either side was talking about -- even few days ago... Developing...

They don't read the LEIPS forum; otherwise, this would be old news. Sure, the GOP has "gained" 10-15 seats probably in the last fortnight, as polls roll in where independent expenditures have made a difference in second tier races.  Obama also helped the GOP with his campaigning - yes he did. He said a series of counterproductive things for his party.

There is no such thing as an "expert" on this election by the way. We are all flying rather blind really, when it comes to House races.

Actually, given it's the NYTimes, they will likely report the possibility of Democrats losing seats in the House and that some independent voters do not view the healthcare bill favorably....

lol...

But seriously, we have been talking the past weeks about a victory larger than 45-60 seats being within the realm of possibility.  Hell, Torie was harping on about it in September and he really is smarter than most of us.  Tongue 

And I said the way the election was going was clear around Labor Day (Dems will lose House) and the Dems (as all parties) would only figure it out in early October (which is basically what Politico just said, lol...)

Of course, this is probably another false flag op of some sort. 

But, you know, when I really "put my ear to the ground" and listen to what I hear, giving the GOP 48-50 seats in the Senate (equal with Dems) and a real massive margin in the House (similar to what Dems have now) makes more sense with the perception of the vox populi that I'm feel.  It would put both sides on notice more than any other result out there:  Obama, who simply refused to listen to Massachusetts back in January, and the GOP, don't follow Bush or we'll kick you out just as quickly as we did Pelosi.

Food for thought.

Are you saying that:

 neither party is truly fit to govern and that we need a strong, principled, viable alternative to keep both sides honest,

and:

 that a division of power that prevents either party from doing the insane things they are prone to is a good idea?

If only their was some third party that shared those views I might join it.... Smiley
