10/31 The GOP strategory for the 2006 general election:
- Allow only the slimmest of a Dem majority in the House.
- Prevent Dems from obtaining six Senate seats, since just five will
result in a 50-50 tie, giving the nominal majority to the GOP because
of the inherent VP swing vote, and thus, 1-vote majorities on all
(except Ethics) Senate committees. If Dems get six, negotiate with
Lieberman until he aligns his independent vote with GOP, which gets
them back to a 50-50 tie.
- Whip up the base as much as possible, so they'll be primed to blame
the Dem-controlled House as much as possible through 2008.
\_ Lieberman doesn't have a rat's ass chance of getting re-elected.
\_ Polls show him leading Lamont by more than
what could be called statistical error. I think he's going
to win. - danh
\_ ??? Is there no GOP candidate here?

Consistently polling in the single-digit percents. Not
a serious candidate. Judging from the above website, he
is not considering himself to be a seroius candidate either.
\_ I like how you make such a solid statement with no facts, just
your own emotions and desires to base it on.
\_ Well, if you like that one, you'll love this one: you're a
dick, and you fill a place in my life as someone worthy of
trolling.
- Whip up the base as much as possible, so they'll be primed to blame
the Dem-controlled House as much as possible through 2008.
\_ Unless you have special inside information, please don't waste
precious motd bits with either the obvious (Keep control of
Congress) or the inane (whip up the base blah blah blah). |
