Polls were done by PPP. Conservative groups commission polls from them too.

The original post claimed a poll funded by move on. Like I said this thread should be in the conspiracy section.

Well that's boring and it also confusing as what district represents what. Here we just name them after their geographic region like Toronto-Danforth, Edmonton South, Mount Royal, etc.. Why is that so hard in the U.S.?

ours starts with the state indicator followed by a number ... such as CA-10 ( California 10th) or TX-25 (Texas 25th)

there's really no propose in changing our nomenclature scheme.. it works just fine... it gets the job done.
 
TEA party...
It now stands for Tax Evading Anarchists and the mianstream GOP understand this.
The party will start eating their own as the Kochs threaten primarying uncooperative non-TEA republicons and traditional GOP funding goes against TEA assholes.
The infighting will cause the party to implode as centrist Democratic candidates become more attractive and reap the rewards of sanity.

Commissioned by moveon. Done by PPP. Immediate dismissal of the poll because of this is foolish.

You should immediately dismiss the poll because it's one regarding generic candidates more than a year prior to the election. :)

There is one issue I don't where that district is, CA-10 could represent downtown LA or the middle of the desert and I have no way of knowing.

what is it about partisans and their irrational predictions?...
millions of "impending doom for <insert party/ideology>" predictions are launched on the internet every single day... and they never come true....ever.

y'all need to stand in the corner with the folks predicting the "end of days"
 
I rarely get worries about any election polls over a year out...let alone house polls....let alone house polls paid for by MoveOn

You, like Harry Reid, clearly don't understand what the word "anarchist" means

Districts here change boundries. Its why they're not named and the process is often also called "gerrymandering".

Wiki ~ Gerrymandering

Then you just rename them, ours do aswell as the population changes or the residents of said riding get uppity. Though ours are determined by Elections Canada so gerrymandering is kept to a minimum.
 
That cons, especially their mods, would come on what they describe as a leftwing pollthread 13 months out to douse the growing flames shows they are not concerned. Same with them now blaming both sides, demanding negotiations, over what?, and dismissing the spark lighter.

The GOP gerrymandered their districts to perfection. Don't count on that happening. I don't mind. As long as one party controls one house and the other party controls the other one, I am happy.

I am with you, it at least keeps far extreme right or left wing legislation from passing.
 
Since when do commissioned and paid for mean two diff things? Why do liberals play word games like that kid who shot Giffords so much?

I don't know about Harry but I understand exactly what an anarchist is. The TEAssholes are ecstatic that they have succeeded in shutting down their own government.
They fit the definition to a tee. Whatever you believe it to mean is undoubtedly wrong.
Here is a perfect description of a TEAsshole party member:
anarchist [ˈænəkɪst]
n
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a person who advocates the abolition of government and a social system based on voluntary cooperation
2. a person who causes disorder or upheaval
anarchistic adj

If this is what makes you happy, I'd hate to see what makes you upset.

Although this is way too far out for polling and predictions to mean much if anything. Charlie Cook has 9 Democratic seats in his toss up column vs. only 1 Republican seat. Larry Sabato has 4 Democratic seats in his toss up column vs. 2 for the Republicans. I could really get into this and give the lean democratic and lean republicans seats, but they only reinforce the above.

One thing you must remember when it comes to the house, most people love their own congressman, but they hate the other 434 members. This is why retirements of a congressman is so important, incumbents rarely lose unless there is a sea change election much like 1994, 2006 and 2010. I do not see that happening next year.

Things have changed since the GOP tea party cabal shut down the government. It'll only get worst for them as they force a default and cause a new recession.

What extreme leftwing legislation are you talking about? Minor tax increases for the top bracket? Regulating CDSs? Pony up!
 
We have some experience about conservatives claiming polls were biased and they would win. Same thing is happening now. It's only going to get worse for the GOP and their tea party masters as they cause a default resulting in huge unemployment. That'll happen in about 10 days. Then forgot about reelection for the teabaggers; they'll be recalls and impeachments.

We'll see. I remember back in 1996 when the same thing was being said about the government shutdown then. It would mean a landslide win for the Dems. Well, Clinton did win by a landslide over Dole, but the Republicans lost 2 house seats and picked up 2 senate seats. As far as congress went, the election was a wash. Remember what I said in my last post, everyone loves their own congressman, it is the other 434 they hate or want to change. They do not want to change theirs.

By the way, I been trying to figure out what your meme means in your posts. explanation please.

Oh, I have no problem with some tax increases or my favorite way of dealing with them, tax everything as income. Whether Capital gains, wages etc, have all taxes on income be the same.

Yes we all know it's always someone else fault, I'm surprised you have not blamed Bush. But the truth is Obama will not negotiate, the leader of the NO party.
