Is The GOP Imploding

It looks increasingly that the GOP is losing it. And it's possible they'll lose the House too.

Within the short span of 24 hours, we have a Republican saying early voting shouldn't accomodate blacks.

An Ohio GOP election official who voted against the weekend voting rules that enabled thousands to cast ballots in the 2008 election said Sunday that he did not think that the state's early voting procedures should accommodate African-Americans.

"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban -- read African-American -- voter-turnout machine," Doug Priesse said in an email to the Columbus Dispatch Sunday. "Let's be fair and reasonable."

Then we have another Republican pundit defending Rep. Todd Akin's universally criticized rape comments.

"So perhaps some can agree that all rapes that are reported are not actually rapes? Or are we gonna really deny that for PC sake?" he said. "So looks like he meant to say -- 'If a woman was REALLY raped, it's statistically less likely for her to get pregnant.' What's the science?"

Of course, we have the Akin incident, which will now cost him and the GOP a House seat.

Finally, the capper. We have Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder of Kansas, taking a nekkid swim in the Sea of Galilee.

A Republican congressman representing Kansas has apologized for embarrassing his supporters by swimming naked at the holy site of the Sea of Galilee while on a fact-finding mission to Israel.

Freshman U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder, 36, has not been charged in the Aug. 18, 2011, incident when he and about 20 other lawmakers and staff members jumped into the water. Politico reported Sunday that he was the only one among them who wore no clothes.

Some Christians consider the Sea of Galilee a holy site because they believe Jesus walked on water there. Swimming in the lake is permitted but public nudity is not allowed, according to Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.

They really are losing it. Mentally and electorally.

I think you're doing what some of the supporters or Romney are doing. You're seeing what you want to see. Our current political paradigm is essentially a rural vs urban paradigm. The facts are, Republicans are widely supported in most rural areas by 60% or more. It's also true both at the State and National level that rural areas are over represented relative to their population. This gives the GOP a significant advantages for keeping controls of legislatures at both the State and National leve. I don't think you're going to see significant changes in the house of Reps. There may be a some gains by Dems or Repubs but will probably stay in Republican control.

Repubs will probably make gains in the Senate but with the Missouri GOP candidate recently imploding his campaign with some incredibly stupid comments about rape, it's very likely Dems will keep the Senate. At this stage it would take some significant event for Obama to lose re-election so it's looking like Dems will keep the White House and Senate and Repubs will keep the house.

This House has the lowest approval rating in history.

The Tea Party has been a failure.

Why The Paul Ryan V.P. Pick Is Actually A Huge Gift For Democrats

There is a huge trump :) card here .. women voters .. who idiot republicans will have running to the polls to vote against them .. along with lots and lots of hispanic voters rushing to the polls to vote against them .. and there is a good chance that seniors will be pushing their way past them both as they run to the polls.

Hold onto that RCP poll .. I'll be bringing it up later. :0)

until you come up with some facts to back up you and Peter Feld's opinion, I'll do just that.....so far today you've denied the polling evidence on the presidential election.....you've denied the evidence on the senate elections and you've denied the evidence on the house elections......I find that fascinating.......
 
Remember, the people who "know" that Obama is a Kenyan Socialist are going to vote, and many of the folks who know better won't.

The GOP's war on voting will help them in several key states, too.

Under attack from the right.

Some restrictive voting laws have been upheld, others struck down or delayed.

The right claims restrictive voting laws are needed to prevent fraud.

Not really. What I see is a pending backlash over the Medicare topic against the Republicans, as well as more and more women and independents dropping them.

I'll say this: If Obama takes Florida, he wins.
