>>I wish you were right, but your prediction frankly is nuts.
I doubt you are competent to judge anybody’s sanity.
In view of what follows, I’m moving NM into the 50-50 category. As I mentioned in my terse run-down of Senate races, our candidate in NM is handicapped by a strong indie (from the right-wing). This poll suggests support for the indie has shifted to her. In contrast, support for Gary Johnson in the Presidential has not shifted to Romney. NM could go Democratic for President and Republican for Senate.

I didn’t say YOU are nuts, I said your prediction is nuts. No serious analyst who does this kind of thing full time is predicting we will pick up anything close to this number of seats.
You are predicting a massive “wave” kind of election, when every indicator out there clearly points to an extremely close, 50-50 kind of election similar to 2000 and 2004. Looking at life through rose-colored glasses does no favors to yourself or anyone else.
