Not only are we now in 1994 territory, we’re actually a bit beyond it: The new number predicts net gains in the range of 48 to 60 seats. Not good enough? Well, Hotline’s studying the polls too, and while they don’t offer any predictions, the tone of this post makes it sound like they’re envisioning a landslide more of the “freaky double deaky” variety. Actual quote: “Some of the polls are so striking that next Wednesday, the day after the midterm election, observers may turn to these surveys as a symbol of when the bottom fell out for Democrats.”
Eeyoreblogger pessimism status check: Uncomfortable.
The Cook Political Report’s pre-election House outlook is a Democratic net loss of 48 to 60 seats, with higher losses possible. A turnover of just 39 seats would tip majority status into Republican hands. The midterm maelstrom pulling House Democrats under shows no signs of abating, if anything it has intensified.

Never had a chinaman’s chance.
I saw two posts this am that solid blue predictions have tilted to lean GOP. Check out CA 20 and NY 20. *IF* these hold, the seat change will be 100+
Pleasae note, the Senate controls the Supreme Court confirmation. If only....
Look at where Hussein and Biden go. Rhode Island? Delaware? Illinois? Wisconsin? Their polls are telling them they are in big, big trouble.
COD raises millions with nothing more than a donate button. The money pouring in for Angle, Bachmann and others should also be a clue. People are mad, and they're not going to take it anymore.
Voter fraud will dampened that some. In fact Obama is setting the stage for that with his appeal to Hispanics and others. They will claim more than expected Democrats voted without mentioning they were illegal or non-existent voters.
Oooooh, I’m going to have to read your post again. It’s giving me tingles—not just up the leg, but all over.
Wipe out every Rat that voted to destroy our health care system.
It is very telling that these pollsters are using language like landslide and tsunami.
They hardly ever risk sticking their necks out this far.
I hope they’re right.
I’m getting polled twice a day now.
I'm starting to dare to believe.
Our flag went up today. It flies proudly above our Carly sign. Twill not come down until the 3rd (except at night of course).
Before we start celebrating, keep in mind that Dems will take vote fraud to new levels rather than lose.
I think one thing that will be interesting to watch is the number of independents voting. The conventional wisdom is they don’t turn out in large numbers for mid terms but I think that’s another thing that might be different this year.
The Senate was always a long shot this cycle. In ‘12 the GOP has 10 seats up, the Rats have 20. That will be a real bloodbath.
Could this be to make us less likely to vote? Do they think we are fools?
Nothing can dampen GOP enthusiasm this time.
My crystal ball says...House +65 and Senate +8.
We would have to take 10 in the senate to get a majority, and I just don’t see it.
But that will be fine IF the republicans will stand tall.
The house controls the purse strings;
and you can’t do much of anything in the senate without 60 votes.
This is the key to the whole deal...
Tuesday night is gonna be popcorn night at my house!
