What about House #s and Senate #s?
Too soon for me to speculate about the big picture. I think the Repubs will draw much closer in # in the house, but I don't think they get a majority. A few things I would bet on:
- If the "blue dogs" go along with Obamacare, they will virtually all be gone from the House.
- I think Specter will not be back. Right now I think Toomey takes his seat.
- Larry Elder would have had a shot at Boxer's seat, but Cornyn shot that down.
- Vitter will be safe in LA.
- I would not be surprised to see Chris Dodd and Harry Reid gone come 2011 (hopeful optimism, but not unrealistic).
