RNC Chairman Michael Steele said on Sunday that Republicans would claim a successful election in November even if it resulted in them not taking control of the House of Representatives.

"First off we need 39," Steele told CNN's State of the Union. "If we get 39 seats and take the majority that's success. If we get 37 seats that's success. Keep in mind, I mean we've got to keep this thing in context here. We were a party out of power. We were a party that on the covers of magazines around this country were called an endangered species. We were going to be regionalized, marginalized to the lower, you know, portions of the political spectrum. We have battled our way back here, so to have the kind of night that we're anticipating on Tuesday is not just a blessing but it comes from the hard work of our candidates out there engaging with the people."

In a purely numerical sense, Steele is right. A switch of 37 seats, even in a mid-term election, would be historically vast. But the context is different this cycle. For starters, the 2010 elections will, for better or worse, be compared with the 1994 results, when there was a 54-seat swing in membership from Democrats to Republicans in the House. Secondly, the GOP has raised expectations for pickups well beyond 37. Talk has, for weeks, circled around the idea of 50, 60 or even 70 pickups. At one time, it was reported that 99 seats were in play.

The GOP may be unable to meet those expectations, but they were the ones who set them. And while Steele may be trying to change the narrative, so long as the GOP has a net gain of 39 seats in the House, and with it gains control of the chamber, the party will claim success on November 2.

Your ideology has offended this great nation. We, the working class, are not for sale. We do not consent to being shipped overseas to the highest bidder. We do not consent to being lied to. We do not consent to your childish pickering and name calling.
We demand that you stop selling our Democracy to big business, foreign lands, bigots, racists and fear-mongers. We are watching your every step. We will hold you accountable for your actions.
We demand that you place our needs before any others. We, the middle class, are tired of being told one thing only to see the opposite happen. We insist that all laws are formed to protect our needs. We demand that all Corporations stop treating us, the middle class, as cattle. We are not for slaughter. We are to be honored, cared for and most of all respected.
Your time as a law maker is short. We insist you make the best of it for us, the Middle class.

Sincerely and with all do respect due to all Citizens of this Great Nation,

The Middle Class.

Why are Senate candidates referred to as "Complete Frauds" (o'donnel) on a Monday, and then showered with money on Wednesday as a viable candidate?

Hypocrisy gone wild. For all the Nation to see.

Some answers:



. electronic media----where Beck and Limbaugh enable like minded Obama naysayers' to come together without filtering out untrue info. The net provides the angry conservative a place to go and rant and foment unguided and illogical rage.

. Hucksters and Capitalist­s----"poli­cy pushers who saw a grass roots movement as a back door way to revive the big business agenda." this is the stooge part of what it means to be a republican today. David Koch, super-billionaire, is the Tea Party's biggest backer. He is about as grass roots as a nuclear fuel rod, and he is using the Tea Party to fight regulations, using the shrinking Repub party to extend his interests.
Hucksters include your Sarah Palin, "eager to cash in on voter anger." And Glen Beck....the two of them netting a good $50,000,000.00 this past year...for what exactly? What did Palin supporters get for her making $20,000,000.00? More freedom?

Or more anger? buckfushlv: why the GOP is on the verge of crumbling?

Does Michael Steele know something that we don't? Why would anyone who is the head of the RNC say, "if we don't pick up enough seats to take the majority in the House, it's still a win"? That's something you say AFTER you didn't win the majority - the ole tried and true, "we did our best and that makes us champs in my book" speech.
I still think this election is a whole lot closer than the polls say, especially given that minorities and single women voters are woefully under-estimated.
Additionally, I believe the GOP enthusiasm peaked early,when the Democrat surge started. And now, money is an issue. These last three days are critical for both parties; and, it seems that, in the tighter, important races, candidates are running low on political funding.

So, the questions are:

Who's grassroots programs worked better? Republicans or Democrats?
How accurate are the polls? Did they accurately predict both WHO Independents are and WHO they are voting for?
Are women really lethargic about voting this year? Especially with the influx of "no abortion, regardless of condition" candidates?
How many minorities will actually turn out to voters? Especially in the key races like California and Nevada? bwestleyj: This is interesting.
