Republican chances of taking control of the Senate have risen to 72 percent, the highest level yet in the almost six months that The Upshots forecasting model has been tracking the race. The odds rose from 68 percent on Monday and from a low of 50 percent last month.

LOL
The margin of fraud is going to be very high.
We now have federal judges ignoring prior rulings and making up laws to enable fraud.
The USSC has lost control.
My guess is that Obama will swoop in to help the Kurds. About a week before Nov. 4 probably.
Never ever trust anyone that works for the NYT!
Sweet The Senate - new campaign ad. Sound up and enjoy.

Don’t buy it.
Cautiously optimistic..?
