No, it's a mainstream opinion. Hell, the biggest critics of the Republican contestants are the leading conservative media outlets.
We've covered this before. With Obama and Clinton the party saw 2 viable options. With the GOP the party doesn't see any viable options.
Your numbers are wrong. It's 21 Democrat, 2 Independent and 10 Republican. Additionally, the majority of Democrat races are in Blue or Purple states.
I'll take your wager.
I think they're linked. If Iran blows up it will put a large strain on the economy.

"I think independent voters see the debt problem as bi-partisan."
If you think independents don't see a difference on the debt issue between liberals and conservatives, I disagree.
"I think we're trending strong and the economy will continue to gain strength if global instability doesn't disrupt it."
I can't refute that...
"No, it's a mainstream opinion. Hell, the biggest critics of the Republican contestants are the leading conservative media outlets."
Spence, when all you do is look for folks who bash the GGOP, you'll find them...
"Your numbers are wrong. It's 21 Democrat, 2 Independent and 10 Republican."
Sorry, typo on my part, I meant 23 for Dems/independents...
'Additionally, the majority of Democrat races are in Blue or Purple states."
You're missing the point. The races in the purple states are exactly where you are vulnerable, as opposed to CT for example. Democratis seats being contested include the following states...NE, NM, ND, VA, WI, FL, MN, MO, MT, OH, PA).
"I'll take your wager."
$25 to the charity of the loser's choice? I win if the GOP makes gains in both the house and the senate. Otherwise, you win. Aggressively setting the bar for me, but I'm confident. Are you in?
