Is the GOP Senate Dream imploding? RCP Senate projections: 46 Democrat, 45 Republican, 9 Tossup. [View all]

First clear lead for Democrats in the RCP map since February, 2014, in the accumulated polling.

Just two weeks ago, yes, 13 days ago to be exact, it was 44 Democrat, 47 Republican and 9 tossup.....there is something going on, folks. Maybe people have had enough of the lies and corruption and extremism and plain stupidity of the Tebola Party and their major media lackeys.

I think the GOP begging people to hide under their beds because of Ebola and ISIS is not playing so well in the land of the brave. Maybe the folks are not amused by false alarms and being played for fearful fools.

Maybe the obvious need for universal health care in the Age of Ebola has caused some to pause and others to reflect on their anti-science, anti-Obamacare stance when they realize that it is evolution, not creationism, that would cause Ebola to be airborne and universal health care that would stop the virus if that happened.

Maybe seeing as how ISIS is clearly being revealed as a local threat in the Middle East and not so much any where else in these months of fear mongering has also caused some folks to give the whole thing another look.

Not to mention the massive corruption in the Republican party that is being revealed in shocking detail every day.

Expect only stunned silence and no reporting on this major shift in the major media, they are fully invested in prodding/pushing/cajoling/protecting/deflecting/lying the GOP to victory. It is what they must do to protect the gushing mile from the cash cow of Citizens United.
