You are a moron, and your political acumen is that of a diseased snail. Seeing as you've declined my challenge, I take that to mean that you respect my opinion sufficiently not to call me out.

Oh you rascally liar you. Obama is at ~45 approval and ~45% disapproval right now Which is low for less than 2 years into a presidency, Boris. Ras has him at about 41 percent approval.

That's hardly "extremely unpopular" when you consider Bush's approval was ~30% in November 2006 when the Republicans lost control of Congress. 6 years after he was elected.

Several polls have shown Angle trailing as well. At any rate, yes, up only 2 points and under 50% against a relatively unpopular incumbent in an anti-incumbent year is definitely struggling. She should be up 10 points over him. Over the incumbant Senate Majority leader?

I didn't say he wouldn't win, nimrod--just that it will be harder than it would have been for Murkowski. So, he wins, you don't get extra points for running up the score. This isn't the BCS. Enough said.

Take the Rasmussen polling (a Republican-leaning pollster anyway): Murkowski was up 32 points over McAdams, but Miller was up only 6 when they polled after the primary. Republican leaning = polls likely voters. His models are consistantly more accurate. She was up by a similar amount over Joe Miller and how did that work out eh?

Murkowski is also still toying with the idea of running as a 3rd party candidate in the general. If she's on the ballot, Miller's chances of winning will plummet severely. As a write-in candidate? Seriously? You really believe that she'd have an impact? She lost, she's done. Miller should win the general without too much difficulty.

If you don't think that quotes of that kind from the NRSC against O'Donnell and the fact that they won't give her any financial support won't make a difference in the election, then you're delusional. The same NRSC that *****ed and moaned about underfunding? She didn't have any funding here, they funded her opponent who was also quite wealthy, and O'Donnell still won by 6. They don't have the power to do much anymore.

and how did Scott Brown turn out for the teabagger set, hmm? They wanted to hang him in effigy for voting with the Democrats! The point is he won. So can O'Donnell in an equally blue state. The seat is open, she isn't facing an incumbent.
