This is going to be a Dem sweep. We're going to get the House, easily. The Senate is close, but we're likely going to get that, too.
Things are so stacked against the Repugnicans, who have literally painted themselves into a corner, that I think that the Dems will get it all. The big polls are so overwhelmingly in favor of such a sweep that I do not put much credance in the individual candidate polls, which are all over the place, and many of which have very questionable internals (Zogby).
My call: We'll take 30 or more House seats and lose at most one or two. In the Senate we'll take seven and lose none (other than Lieberman). I see nothing wrong with such optimism. It sure beats gloom and doom. We *are* going to take the House. Things may shape up for a huge sweep in the House. In that case, we may see upwards of fifty seats turn over. The absolute limit in the Senate is eight seats. Unless Pederson in AZ turns things around at the eleventh hour, the max we can get is seven. If the AZ race starts to tighten, hang on tight.
I already have my CA ballot.
Voting Straight Dem!!! Hooray!! We're going to have Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown as our AG!!!
CA absentee voters: Don't forget to put *two* stamps on your ballot envelope.
