For all you Eeyores out there, just reinforcing that this is NOT 2006.

In 1994, it was 3.5.

Now, we have crappy candidates an the RNC was defeatist when it should have been preparing for this election, BUT this is NOT the anti-Republican environment that the media/Rats would have us believe.

Ping.

Right on. I still expect some scattered losses because too many incumbents were scared after 2006 and the NRCC/RNC/NRSC wimps didn't line up good candidates in some cases. However, I expect aAno few Dems to go down or to suck up some resources to defend themselves.

Remember, there were quite a few accidental elections in 2006, but there are no accidential re-elections.

Another point to keep in mind is that the Dems already have the majority. They need to be leading by some in this poll just to keep what they have.

Interesting. +4 for Dems would mean GOP pickups. Another poll to confirm would be nice.

In New Hampshire, Rep. Carol Shea-Porter is up all of 2 percent on the man she beat last time, Jeb Bradley, and most polls put her considerably below 50 percent.

Mitt Romney campaigned yesterday in NH with former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley, who is looking to regain the District 1 seat he lost to Democrat Carol Shea-Porter in 2006.

Romney also toured two Litchfield businesses Wednesday with Jennifer Horn, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes in the 2nd Congressional District race. Romney and Horn visited NE Small Tube Co., then went over to Romano's Pizza.

The Senate is still the place we might lose a few. Hopefully it won’t be close to the sixty the Rats need to stop fillibusters.
