California Conservative

Democrat’s quotes in this article should be taken with a grain of salt. Here’s the main reason why:

House Democrats have expanded their advertising efforts into numerous races once thought safe for Republicans.

This must be put into the context that Democrats wouldn’t know a safe seat from a vulnerable seat if their life depended on it. One of the oldest rules of thumb in campaigns is that you send your big guns to the races you think you can win. As an example of the Democrats’ misreading the situation, the DCCC dispatched John Murtha to my state of Minnesota to campaign with Colleen Rowley. This struck Minnesota’s conservative political analysts as rather odd seeing as how she was running against popular John Kline in MN-2.

By sending Murtha here, the DCCC was saying that MN-2 was vulnerable. Their prioritizing skills are now being shown for what they are: suspect. The most recent poll shows Kline trouncing Rowley by 18 points. My bet is that their expanding advertising efforts are an illusion; a way of telling voters that they’re on the verge of an historic win.

Unfortunately for Democrats, that illusion will be exposed Tuesday night.

Another Minnesota race into which the DCCC has dumped millions into will similarly backfire is my home district, MN-6. They’ve been touting MN-6 as a Democratic pickup. Patty Wetterling will be fortunate to garner 45% of the vote. I’m predicting that she won’t get that much. She got 46% in 2004 before she went ‘full moonbat’. Since 2004, she’s become so badly BDS-afflicted that liberal media outlets like WCCO-TV and the Strib have routinely chastized her for her defamatory ads. In fact, she’s lost her reputation as ‘St. Patty’ by being so far over the top that the liberal media won’t defend her anymore.

When the dust settles Tuesday night, expect there to be a proliferation of fingerpointing within the Democratic Party and of conspiracy theories on the nutter fringe websites. This Bible quote will apply to the Democrats’ situation: “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
