Do you think this will be a "wave election" ? According to Election Projection, a good unbiased blog for info, Election Projection: 2008 Elections - Polls, Projections, Results, the blue democratic wave is gaining momentum. Heck, it may even be a tsunami!In the Senate currently there are 57 Dems, 41 R's, and 2 Independents. Eight Democratic takeovers are projected. Republican Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska has been convicted of seven corruption charges (I guess he could still win as a convicted felon, doncha know?)
Obama has a lot of money, (I have heard he is taking in 7 million a day) and he is "spreading his wealth around" with media endorsements in red states like Mississippi and Georgia. Democratic candidates are doing well even in the red states!
In the House, it is projected that 25 seats will go to the Dems. That would make an 81 seat advantage (257-176)
Back in 1980 Reagan brought in a wave of Republican senators, but it seems like this conservative wave is winding down.
So do you think Sam Bennett will be riding the blue wave?
I tried to check the PA projections, but you have to subscribe in order to get that info.

As Brian Wilson once said, "catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world."
Ted Stevens is a convicted felon and I understand John McCain has palled around with him....
After the last two squeaker Presidential elections, it would be great to see this election's winner get a clear and huge mandate of a landslide wipeout wave that would include Arizona and Virginia and Pennsylvania and all the blue states Kerry won in '04 and all the red states Bush won and/or stole in '00 and '04 and O'bama. O'bama. O'bama. O'bama. O'bama. O'bama. O'bama.
I'm voting for Sam Bennett (just because ;)
Hmmm, did Alaska Guv Sarah Palin ever pal around with Alaska Senator Ted Stevens? Oh YOU BETCHA she did and this makes her a convicted felon! Really well-dressed one.
I heard on the news this morning that all defeated incumbent Republicans will be sent to Guantanamo.
I'm a fan of more balance between the parties. I don't like when either one holds all the cards, but I want Obama (and the Phillies!) to win sooooo bad!!!!!
Eddie Haskell you have gone too far! Any further comments from you will be deleted!

I love your new comment moderation note :) i feel VERY special! Is that Bianca Jagger over there next to Liza and Joyce Marin?! Cool!!!
Anon 12:21:I would not vote for Sam Bennett just because she is a dem. I like Charlie Dent.
Short story: Sam Bennett's son attends Muhlenberg Elementary, same school as my son, and she and her husband arrived quite late to the parent teacher night, entering at the door closest to the front of the gym. They sat only a few seats away from me. I am waiting to see if she joins the PTA or volunteers in any way.
Anon 12:45 I think there needs to be balance too, but I think a lot will get done with more dems!
Where can I find current predictions for PA Congressional 15th District?
May I say that's a very attractive house dress you're wearing Mrs. Cleaver er I mean Mrs. Dottie.
Why thank you, Eddie!
When Ba-ROCK spreads the wealth around I hope I get some of my brother's money, he has more than he needs and probably won't even notice that any is missing.
"I like Charlie Dent." Mrs. D.
I do too. He's eminently more qualified for the job. I would like to see Sam Bennett run for something she could win, however, because I believe she's a dynamic person who has the same kind of charisma/attraction qualities Sarah Palin has, and I mean this in a good way. Like Palin or not (and I don't), there's no denying she's got Politico Presence. Bennett does too. And, like Palin, there must be SOME useful substance in there amidst the glitz and glitter and celebrity, maybe. Right?

Speaking of income inequality, did you know that in 2005 the wealthiest 1% of Americans earned 21.2% of ALL income. Here's a neat article:

My friend runs one of the Allentown food pantries and she says they just can't keep up with the demand.
70% of students at Muhlenberg Elementary in the west end of ALlentown receive free or reduced lunches.
I'm gonna like "socialism." My brother, not so much.
BUSH'S BANK BUDDY BAILOUT, now THJAT'S Socialism!!!
1% of Americans earned 21.2% of ALL income.

Hello Mrs. Dottie, yes I do believe this will be a "wave election." Change is needed. A "new wave."
Dottie, there are close to 400,000 registered voters in the 15th CD, and turnout is projected at 80% or more 280,000 votes were cast in 2004, and this year we are probably talking 340,000.
I've seen enough data to know that Sam is a longshot. Dent beat Driscoll 170,000 to 110,000 in 2004, but didn't do nearly as well against Dertinger in 2006, when he barely made 100,000 to Dertinger's 80 some thousand.
