Republicans Will Retain Control: Barrons Online

Story here. h/t: Drudge

Talk about marching to one's own drummer.

Our analysis -- based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance data -- suggests that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least nominally. We expect the Republican majority in the House to fall by eight seats, to 224 of the chamber's 435. At the very worst, our analysis suggests, the party's loss could be as large as 14 seats, leaving a one-seat majority. But that is still a far cry from the 20-seat loss some are predicting. In the Senate, with 100 seats, we see the GOP winding up with 52, down three

Let's remember that those who vote Republican but are tired of the current president will still vote Republican because, well, because... they're not insane and sure as heck'll not vote Defeatocrat/Dhimmicrat/Dickheadocrat!

Anyway, there's that punditry analysis FYI.


Speaking of why folks will not vote Democrat, I bring you the following from Jay, The American-Israeli Patriot: (BTW, take a good look at the picture he took of the New York skyline. Look carefully and ask yourself if you see anything interesting- I did... another skyline photograph giving one the goosebumps).


During my recent trip to New York, a Democratic campaigner stopped me on the corner of Broadway and 78th Street. Despite the rain, he was without jacket or umbrella. So typical of the Democrats; optimistic and nonrealistic. The conversation went something like this:


Dem: Good Morning. Are you registered to vote?

Jay: Yes.

Dem: Who do you plan to vote for?

Jay: That's really none of your business, but for the record I vote Republican.

Dem: May I ask why?

Jay: May I ask why you are standing in the pouring rain without a jacket or umbrella?

Dem: They said on the news it is going to stop raining soon.

Jay: That is exactly why I am voting Republican.
