Interesting plan to run on something that will very likely be smoothed out in the next 5-6 months, and have insured roughly 800K-1M new people by this time next year. This is poor strategy, IMO. If the elections were next week? Gold! But next year is a long way away, and the Pubs have yet to learn that they are 0-3 at running against Obamacare. I thought it was funny that the called the VA governor's race a referendum on Obamacare, yet they lost the race. Rarely do people argue for some sort of people's will on an issue in a race they lost.
After the last two years, no one should vote for an NC Pub in any contest, even if they are running unopposed.
And there is no imbalance in media bias now that NewsCorp plays in the sandbox. Zero.
2010 says hello.
2010: Pubs gain 6 seats in the Senate
2012: Dems gain back 2 seats
2014: ?

What happened to the House in 2010?
I was under the impression that this thread was about the United States Senate.
My post was in response to a post that cited the Virginia governor's race.
Then 63 seats gained in 2010, and 8 seats lost in 2012. Just for a point of clarification, 2012 is a more recent year than 2010 on our calendar. I know that is sometimes confusing, so I wanted to clear that up. As for 2014 (which will be further along the timeline than BOTH 2010 and 2012), I fully expect the GOP to make gains or maintain their control of the House while losing ground or essentially maintaining status quo in the Senate. Statewide races are completely different animals from House races. I know that you know that, but I felt like clarifying it early could bypass some jimmy rustling and get straight to the ball busting.
Front and Center from today's N&O:

So, the new line is that the insurers are at fault for offering plans that weren't compliant with Obamacare before the law required that all plans be compliant? And, at the same time, Sen. Hagan supports efforts to allow people to stay on those same non compliant plans for another year? It is pretty clear that they are thrashing around wildly in the dark hoping to accidentally bump into something to get them out of this mess if this sort of inanity is the best they can come up with.
I noticed while watching football on Sunday that they are running soft-focus pro-Hagan ads already. My mind immediately went to the "North Carolina's Elizabeth Dole" ads that started popping up when they realized she was in deep shit in '07-'08. Hagan is in the same boat now.
They also united against public-private partnerships, particularly proposed toll roads. Brannon and Flynn suggested such partnerships were close to “fascism.”

To whomever said the Tea Party was dead or dying, it's not happening in North Carolina.
Hagan will be painted as a proxy for Obama, which she is. As much as the Left wants to villainize the Tea Party, the reality of Obamacare will be upsetting hundreds of thousands of NC citizens in a very direct personal way. Obamacare is a policy and execution failure of epic proportions. It is in the early stages of a death spiral.
