I agree. I don't think it means anything in the long run, seeing as they still are the #1 news channel in the country.It likely doesn't mean all that much. It is a sign that they are becoming more extremist, but that seems to be a working plan for the Republican party at least in the 2010 elections since the Democratic party has always been a big tent party that inspires lukewarm enthusiasm. Sure they lost 21% of their viewers, but the 79% that remains is basically going to be with them for life, which should be like 10 or 20 years tops.
it means that you're going to suffer massive losses in November and that you are still in deep denial. so if media news makes you happy, have fun.
While loss of the majority in the House is within the realm of possibility, massive losses are unlikely. The tide is turning. I am willing to predict that the Democrats retain the majority in both houses.

Demoscratic party big tent? Surely you jest. Ask any highly placed Dem who supported the Iraq war how "big tent" they are. Likewise any Dem who opposed the healthcare "reform". Sorry but Dems are every bit as dogmatic and every bit as obsessed with "purity of thought" as the R's are.

I suggest you look at the latest polls. Most of the toss up contests are now going Dem (ie Harry Reid's) and many of the solid Reps contests are now toss ups (Rand Paul). And then you have elections like the governor of CA where the Tea Party candidate has outspend Brown by multiples yet still trails by a large margin.it means that you're going to suffer massive losses in November and that you are still in deep denial. so if media news makes you happy, have fun.

Between the Republican business as usual pledge and Tea Party candidates that refuse to answer questions Republican voter enthusiasm is waning.
As they say, all politics are local. You list the local reason why you will vote for Reid. But somehow you then a apply nation view to all other races. The fact is that individual race polls show that Reps are generally loosing support and Dems are gaining. Bascially, when voters were asked before about the election it was distant and people voted with emotion and general dissatifaction with Dems. But as the election grows closer and it becomes more and more clear that Reps are offering tired, old non-solutions people are choosing Dems.Reid is going to win because he's the senior loon in the senate and that's critical for Nevadans. even I'm voting for him for that reason and that reason alone.
you're going to lose, and lose big.

Reps may win the House, but without some serious voter fraud (not that I put that past them) they can't win the Senate. Rove was tossed under the bus for his very accurate prediction that the Delaware primary cost Reps any chance as winning the Senate.
