    Default house races....

    over the last 30 days, the house race has firmed up.....
    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...evious_changes

    from 206 leaning Dem, 189 leaning Rep 40 tossup....Dems have actually DROPPED to 204, Republicans have added 10 to 199, and toss ups are now 32....

    for those 32 seats almost all incumbents lead in the polls....eight are open seats......I predict the demmycrats will take ten in all.....leaving them four short of controlling the House......

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    According to a well-known expression, Rome's emperor at the time, the decadent and unpopular Nero, “fiddled while Rome burned.” The expression has a double meaning: Not only did Nero play music while his people suffered, but he was an ineffectual leader in a time of crisis.

    The next time you hear about a David versus Goliath story, don't think of an underdog. Think of a confident competitor who is more than happy to be underestimated.

    Which means Republicans have 25% chance of keeping the House. That is a highly likely outcome

    You are looking at 75% like it is 100%. It is not. You dolts made the same mistake in 2016

    yep it does. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/real-clear-politics/ But from the perspective of the rightys on this board, they are MSNBC in disguise. This board has the farthest right people I have encountered. They are Fox Gnus, brietfart and Infowhores fans.

    No, i am not. You are ascribing to me what you think. i know that the repugs have a bit less than 1 0ut of 4 of winning, now. Actually not highly likely. But a chance.
    I thought Hillary lost when Comey made the speech. She was moving and that screeched on the brakes. I did not think she could recover from that. For Comey's reward, Trump fired him.

    It does, slightly right, similar to the Wall Street Journal, and its' polls are informative but often skewed because it throws in the Razzy in the averages

    Now if you are going to tell us it is liberal then that means you think the likes of Hannity are mainstream
