The Democrats up for reelection in 2012, by contrast, are more moderate and more popular.The Interesting Timeshttp://the-futurologist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-68002533689188417822010-11-02T12:17:11.328-05:002010-11-02T12:17:11.328-05:00"I'm going to miss this cycle."
The..."I'm going to miss this cycle."<br /><br />The party's not over. Republicans will increase their numbers in the House and the Senate in 2012. And "someone else" is the favorite for president in 2012.

This is the John Edwards/Lauch Faircloth/Terry Sanford, et al, seat, and yes, it has switched parties in 1980, 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2004, and no incumbent has been re-elected to it since Sam Ervin in 1968.<br /><br />"Or am I missing something?"<br /><br />Yes.

I know they sent out an e-mail on Thursday saying they'd soon be airing one last Television ad. So its full effect might not have made its way into this poll.<br /><br />That would be a lot of ground to try to make up, but with that and their ground game, maybe its a long shot rather than an impossibility. A recent Elon poll about the Senate said Dems 33%, GOP 33%, and 27% undecided. But their tie came from including cell phones & not restricting to likely voters.<br /><br />I guess tomorrow will be the poll that counts the most.Jakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-31225409989332776722010-11-01T22:35:04.451-05:002010-11-01T22:35:04.451-05:00"We/PPP anticipate that Democrats will have a..."We/PPP anticipate that Democrats will have a 6 point advantage in terms of whom comes out to vote..."<br /><br />YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS Tom.
