it is impossible for the GOP to win back the Senate. They need to pick up 5 seats, and the only toss up race I foresee is one they will be defending, Cathy Cloutier in the 5th. They may be able to make the 7th, 8th, and 15th Senate Districts competitive (where I have categorized the races as “Lean Democratic”). But to win the Senate, they would not only have to win those three districts, but also pull shocking and miraculous victories over Karen Peterson and Bruce Ennis to get to a pick-up of five seats they would need to capture the majority, all the while holding onto to the competitive 5th Senate District.
Asshat Comment of the Day
Hopefully, this can become a new daily feature, like the open thread. This will be dedicated to totally outrageous comments from the wingnut, teabagging right. Tonight’s entry – Duke Brooks, sitting in for Bill Colley today (he usually hosts “Radio Free Delmarva” from 7-10): “If I were in charge, any Mohammadean (sp) who is in […]

The filing deadline has come and gone, and while the state parties can still nominate a candidate for the so far uncontested races until September 1, let’s handicap the contested ones now to see where the parties stand. Right now, the Democrats have a 24-17 majority. The GOP would need to win 4 seats to gain back the majority. However, the GOP’s hopes are so far hampered by four retirements of Carey, Oberle, Cathcart and Thornburg, three of which (Cathcart, Oberle and Thornburg) are in competitive districts where the incumbent Republican barely won in 2008.

Mike Castle Votes Against 9/11 First Responders

Dick Cheney Dying?
A month ago, I posted about Dick Cheney entering the hospital yet again for heart issues (i.e. he doesn’t have one). At the time, we were told this was routine and he would be going home shortly. Of course that was a lie. Ask yourselves if we have heard from the dark lord over the last month? The answer is no, we haven’t. The reason why is Dick Cheney never left the hospital.

Boehner Got Slapped [Humiliations].
We all know that Republicans lie when they open their mouths in public. What I didn’t know is that they actually believe their lies. Which of course means that Republicans are pathological liars. But I guess we knew that too. But here is a little story that proves it.
