DNC chair: 'We're going to hold the Senate'

Noting close poll numbers in crucial states, she said the Democratic Party's advantages are "superior to the ones that Republicans have."

"When we keep races this close, Democrats win," said Wasserman Schultz.

The upbeat assessment stood in stark contrast to the conclusions drawn by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus during the same segment.

"Our ground game is whipping their ground game," Priebus said, adding later, "We're going to have a great night."

As written by Conservative Intel on November 3, 2014, "Democrat National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz apparently has no problem waxing quixotic in public pronouncements."

Sure, it is totally okay to denigrate Debbie, she seems to earn the Crazy Lady In the Attic Award for her extremely absurd statement. What was she thinking? Is she not paying attention to any of the polls?  Is she getting desperate because she's trying to save her job?

However, in Conservative Intel, where I first heard about this story, the people that commented on the story have a different theory.  It seems quite cynical in their thinking that there's something sinister going on.
Lewis Clements Sr.:

I am sad to say MS.Debbie Wasserman Schultz is right, "When we keep races this close, Democrats win." Their Voter Fraud always seems to overcome a one to two point lead. BY Hook or Crook!
Barbara Carpenter:

I guess she has an inside track on the voter fraud the Dems continue to perpetrate.
Jeffrey Raum · Atlanta, Georgia:

Democrats will win if the electronic voting machines are allowed! Lie, Cheat, and Steal has always been the Democratic motto! It worked in 2012, with votes being change from R to D on machines in several states. Now it has already showed up in early voting! Why is it these calibration errors only changes Republican vote to Democrat, never the other way around?
Why do you think Obama was taunting the American public about any vote for a Democrat was a vote for his policies? They know it's rigged, and there is nothing that will be done about it!
I am a just a little bit skeptical about the theory that the Democrats will steal the election. Wouldn't that be rather obvious if it actually happened? The polls and pundits seem to indicate a large landslide for the Republicans in this midterm election.

Well... whatever.   But if Debbie Whatshername ends up being right, and all of the close races do end up going in the Democrat direction, there will be a great amount of suspicion, if not downright anger across the country. That wouldn't be why DHS beefed up security at federal facilities last week, would it? Just sayin'...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) predicted Sunday that her party would hold the Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, thanks to its "superior" ground games in critical states.

"I think we're going to hold the Senate," Wasserman Schultz said during an interview with ABC's "This Week." "We have a ground game that I know [the GOP] would take over theirs any day of the week."

Wassermann Schultz also cited the high-level surrogates working with Democratic candidates on the campaign trail, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Biden.

White House: No Ebola travel restrictions ~ By Elise Viebeck

Updated: October 4, 2014

“The reason for that is that it is not possible to transmit Ebola through the air. ... The only way that an individual can contract Ebola is by coming into contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is exhibiting symptoms.”

The comments were made after federal health officials confirmed that a man with Ebola traveled to the United States from Liberia on Sept. 20. He is now being treated in isolation in a Dallas hospital as public health workers trace his contacts.

Earnest said President Obama has “strong confidence” in the man's medical care and the measures currently in place to prevent Ebola's spread.

About a week ago, they were saying that the Ebola virus outbreak would be stopped before it could get out of Western Africa. Well, something went a little wrong, and there's an infected man in Dallas that arrived here from Liberia before he was showing symptoms.

So, why are there still no travel bans now in place?  Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? 

Of course, the government may be trying to avoid widespread panic, which may be the reason for what seems like a passive response to what some people fear could be a global pandemic.  However, if it turns out that the lack of a travel ban ends up leading to the pandemic... then what?  How much longer will the federal government be able to calm fears?  Just sayin'...

White House: No Ebola travel restrictions

From The Hill


The White House said Wednesday it will not impose travel restrictions or introduce new airport screenings to prevent additional cases of Ebola from entering the United States.

Spokesman Josh Earnest said that current anti-Ebola measures, which include screenings in West African airports and observation of passengers in the United States, will be sufficient to prevent the “wide spread” of the virus.

The chances of a U.S. epidemic are “incredibly low,” he said.
