Well I hope she wins. She is not as big a kook as Franken and how that idiot doodler got into office is a miracle, well not a miracle, good voter fraud.
I am still holding to 60-65 House and 8 seats in the Senate but I may be short if current trends hold up and O'Donnell wins in Deleware. I was counting that one in the Democrat column.
Get back to reality. 50 seats, 6 senate. You're trying to inflate the numbers to make them seem relatively mild after the fact.

I am not excited at all. But as I have pointed out, I am a LIBERAL and not a "Democrat". The Democratic party is merely a vehicle to carry us to liberalism. And to be honest many of them have FAILED miserably to bring us the liberalism we need and want. So if they get their a$$es kicked, it is well deserved. Better now than in 2012. Maybe with the blue dogs gone, the Democrats will be a LIBERAL party that has some passion and backbone and they will stand up to the Republican right and tell them to go to hell.

Yes, I do. The Cook Political Report- which is the Bible of politics and polls- states that 105 Congressional seats are "in play" (not "safe") this year. I have to assume that, with the generic polls showing a 15 point advantage for the GOP that the Republicans will win at least slightly over half of those "in play" seats. That would be 55 to 65 seats. The worst case is that the Democrats could lose 100 seats. I don't see that but I do think a 60 seat loss is about right.

With the Blue Dogs gone, you will NEVER again have a majority.
