Someone is getting ahead of themselves.

"Regardless of what the polls say, I personally believe the writing is on the wall. Barack Obama is out in November. Millions of people sit ready to oust him in November, and many millions more have never been polled in their lifetimes. The silent majority are ready."

I think the Dems will hold the Senate; hell they may even pick a seat up.
What you've said here is 100% diametrically opposed to what the real political analysts are saying. Those who make a living through this type of research disagree with you.

Your point? Since then, I have blamed Republicans for low voter turnout. Why don't post those quotes also?

My point? My point is that your opinion here will also be incorrect.

Your point is that you cherry-pick my quotes to create a context that you can't even fully comprehend.

Instead of being disingenuous, why don't you post my other quotes also?

In today's Politico, Senators Manchin and King said they would not switch and become Republicans. So Republicans will need to pick up a net 6 seats to gain the majority in the Senate. That's a lot. I can see Dems with a 51-49 majority or 50-50 and retaining the majority because the Vice President is the deciding vote in ties.

Actually I didn't cherry pick anything, I posted your entire quote about how you thought millions of Americans were going to vote Obama out of office.

nmnita- If she does run, she will most likely win and I think she might encourage other women to run ...and end up bringing in some fresh faces. The public is starting to tire of hearing and seeing a bunch of cranky old men from both parties constantly fighting and whining about every little thing!

You posted ONE quote. Out of 20,000+ that I have put forth. That's called cherry picking.
