A quote from Scared Monkeys

Scared Monkeys

“The more the Democrats do not listen to “We the People”, the more the polling numbers are getting to be of historic proportion. This is what occurs when a government goes completely against the will of the people and the electorate retaliates at the ballot box.”


A quote from W. James Antle III

W. James Antle III
Assoc. Editor, The American Spectator

“Republican complacency could still blow the midterms elections. I fully expect Republicans to lose some races that they would have won in either 1994 or 2002. But there does come a point where the national mood is so powerful that not even the Republicans can bungle it.”


A quote from Jon Walker

“While the data from the [Gallup and Newsweek] polls varies, the results range from things being only bad for Democrats to being truly terrible for Democrats.”


A quote from Mary Katherine Ham

“The new normal is not merely an accident of the economy, and the election is not merely an anti-incumbent fervor that happens to be afflicting Democrats. They're paying a price for their actions, not just their circumstances.”


A quote from Chris Cillizza

Chris Cillizza
Author of The Fix, Washington Post

“If ads move numbers against Republicans across the country, Democrats may be able to mitigate -- if not totally alleviate -- their losses. If the ads don't change voters' perception in a meaningful way, Democrats could be headed to an electoral Armageddon on Nov. 2.”


A quote from William A. Jacobson

“Make no mistake, the left brought this on itself, not by being too liberal or not liberal enough, but by allowing itself to be co-opted by the unprincipled, power-hungry, self-aggrandizing Democratic leadership, from Obama on down.”


A quote from Steve Benen

“If I had to lay odds, I'd say the smart money is clearly on the GOP taking at least the House. But I still question the value of Gallup's results, and think the political world freak-out is an overreaction.”


A quote from Jeffrey Weiss

Jeffrey Weiss

“My bottom line: It's still the preseason. Campaigns really get into gear after Labor Day. Let's see what the numbers look like -- for any poll -- in a month or so.”


A quote from Spencer Ackerman

Spencer Ackerman
Columnist, The Washington Independent

“But the war isn’t over. It’s not over until it’s over. The fact that 50,000 troops remain in Iraq, and will in staggered form until December 2011, testifies to the fact that it isn’t over. Those troops are an insurance policy — a hedge that Iraq doesn’t go completely off the rails before then.”


A quote from Gawker

Gawker

“President Obama gave the second Oval Office address of his presidency tonight, announcing the official end of the Iraq War. It wasn't a bad speech, either! Though, of course, Sarah Palin had an opinion about it.”
