Midknight Review -- new and revised: Myth: The Republican stance on the shutdown has destroyed the GOP's chances of holding onto the House: The truth, from a Left Wing media source, is very different.

In Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It's down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.

This isn't good news for Democrats. It's true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that's what matters.

Editor's notes: Understand that the general numbers for Democrats versus Republicans does not appear to be good for the Republicans. But, as is implied in the above statement taken from the survey results, what really matters is how well a particular candidate fares in a particular district.

Understand that there are 10 Democrat Senate seats up for re-election in which the Democrat candidate lives in a state won by Mitt Romney in 2012.

Point of post: In spite of the bad news the Compliant Media is able to foster upon the public, the GOP appears to hold a strong elective position for the 2014 mid-terms. In fact, there is serious concern within the ranks of the Progressive Socialist party, that they are in "serious trouble" as things stand, today.

ObamaCare just might prove to be an overwhelming problem for the Dems in 2014. And, because Obama in all is deceptive "wisdom," decided to postpone the employer mandate until 2015, ObamaCare will continue to be huge problem for the Dems. The Socialists have projected 93 million cancellations coming out of employer mandated compliance, bringing the total number of folks angered by ObamaCare to well over 110 million, IF projections are accurate.

If all the talk, however, is proves to be empty rhetoric, the GOP could lose the House and the Socialists would have what they want, an opportunity at "one party rule," once again . . . . . . . . . . . but without super majorities in either house of congress.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
