Just watch the numbers fall next year as Obama says illegal immigration is on the agenda for 2010. Is it wise in an election year? Remember the last time when GOP base went after Pres Bush. But no one accuses the Dem’s of being wise.

I don’t think Franken will be able to with stand a challenge next time he is up for re election. Soros sends a clown to the Senate, how many find that funny?

I’d be completely satisfied with picking up 4 Senate seats next year to reliably preserve the fillibuster. 25 House seats would be good, too.

Herb Kohl (D-WI) has seen the biggest net drop, at minus 23 points during this span.

Well it is about damn time! Do nothing Kohl that is “Nobody’s Senator but his own.” His Milwaukee Bucks are poor performers just like he is!

But here is the kicker… The lemmings here in Wisconsin will still re-elect him! I cannot wait to leave the liberal tax hell that is Wisconsin.

Big Bird would make a better senator than Herb Kohl!

Well, Bush is gone now, and if President Obama’s agenda is horribly unpopular (as it increasingly is), just what the heck are they going to run on in 2010?

That’s easy, you’d only vote against us since you’re a racist and are voting against Obama. You’re not a racist are you?

so… some of the folks who were re-elected last November had approval ratings in the single digits. The voters (both Republican and Democrat) DO NOT CARE when it comes election day. They vote against the other party no matter what. That’s how we end up with scum like Pelosi still in office and how we end up with RINOs (Graham, Burr, etc) who keep getting re-elected.

If the MSM was doing even “half” their job the Dem senate numbers would be twice as low. As far as MN is concerned, you elected them, why do the rest of us have to suffer? Doesn’t Mn have some sort of a recall or impeachment method?

Tee Hee, thanks for making my day

do you think Bachman makes a move for Klobuchar’s seat?

cmsinaz on August 10, 2009 at 1:13 PM

Just as they continue to do with Sarah Palin, the left and its allies in the media are working to destroy michele Bachmann.

How encouraging. Both Osama Mama, Patty Murray, and back-bencher Maria Cantwell are in the top 10 for Senators losing support. There may be hope that someone will challenge these twits and bring a little bit of red back to Washington State.

Of course Congress is going to be dragged down by Obama. He’s the one pushing the crap sandwiches, but Obama has left it to Congress to actually author the bills. For that they are bearing justifiable criticism.

One more time: term limits for Congress.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see Democrat politicians distancing themselves from The One?

The only reason Democrats got the Congress (aside from Republicans not acting like Conservatives) in the first place was Bush hatred. They ran on a platform of Bush hatred in 2006 & 2008.

Well, Bush is gone now, and if President Obama’s agenda is horribly unpopular (as it increasingly is), just what the heck are they going to run on in 2010?

Just as I thought — they ALL suck, it’s just that the Democrats suck even more horribly than the Republicans.

Most of us in MN see no difference between Klobuchar and Franken. Both are Zero’s.

No they aren’t. If they were zeros it would mean they were completely harmless. I wish that were the case.

Time is with us…especially as the dems seem to be clueless as to the size and intensity of their opposition. Their defense is union thugs and easily refuted lies…

Are any of these people on the ballot in 2010? The dumb Cornyn is still playing defense. With these numbers and with Sarah, we can take both the houses back. But the GOP doesn’t want it.

Herb Kohl is the biggest do-nothing Senator of all time. He passes out cream puffs at the state fair..that’s it. StevefromMKE on August 10, 2009 at 1:16 PM

Actually, Herbie IS a cream puff.

I doubt it’ll matter. Kohl’s a fixture of the state. BadgerHawk on August 10, 2009 at 1:10 PM

So was Uncle Ted Stevens in AK. The mighty can fall, one way or the other.

Every time I hear that name “Klobuchar” I hear the horses scream like in Young Frankenstein.

budorob on August 10, 2009 at 2:01 PM

It does sound like Frau Blucher, doesn’t it?

Check out the mumu that she’s wearing in that photo. She must be a large woman. No wonder Democrats mock those of us who dress well and take care of our appearance. It’s a completely foreign concept to many of them.

sometimes the best strategy is to do nothing and let your opponent hang himself

Intended or not, I agree. Nancy Pelosi has become the star of the Republican party, and she doesn’t even know it.

That would fix things… c’mon Barry, don’t go all shy on us now! Break out those styrofoam columns, warm up the TOTUS, and turn on the old the charm! A nice two hour stemwinder speech will be just the ticket!

Which would all fall to pieces when in the last five minutes he says that the opposition has been acting stupidly.

Klobucher sold her Superdel vote to TOTUS too…tut tut
then she Boxer and McCaskill suddenly created a dem womens group of senators to “address the concerns of Dem women” after the told Hill to sit down and shut up and not take it to the Convention

reap it baby…

ginaswo on August 10, 2009 at 1:32 PM

Hmmmm. I wonder if McCaskill will lose her next election? I believe she won in 2006, which means she won’t face the voters until 2012. She most definitely made herself the face of the Obama campaign in Missouri in 2008. I do hope that damages her reelection chances.
