Here is video of ABCs George Stephanopoulos talking with GOP Strategist Mary Matalin and Democrat Strategist Donna Brazile about the chances of Republicans winning control of Congress in the upcoming Midterm Elections.
Brazile put the odds at 50-50, while Matalin said the GOP would win back the House, and that they had a 9 in 10″ chance of taking the U.S. Senate as well.

90%?
100% and then some. Nothing short of a nuclear attack which would prevent an election will stop this.
Has she bought her husband a new trashcan to wear to the post-election party.
I hope Mary has 911 on speed dial as soon as the polls close because old Serpenthaid will likely have a seizure when that happens.
Beat me to it. I can’t wait to see his new headgear on election night.
Their house has got to be a politics free zone.
I'll give Ol' Snakehead credit for actually wearing one in 2004.
can you say double agent??? I know you could.
We’ll soon find out if Matalin is right. Lets wait and
see that it is not the great march of the RINOs. We will soon find out if it is when these newcomers continue to ignore:
1. The Muslim problem. It is an ever increasing and volatile problem and the nation should start to face it now before it becomes too difficult to handle in the future.
2. The question of Obamas eligibility. The eligibility issue must be addressed and should no longer be swept under the rug as it has been. Our national security is at stake. If we do not know who Obama really is, how will we know where his loyalties lie?
90%? No way. We’ll get the House but by expecting the Senate you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment. I do believe we’ll have both by 2012 though. The Dens will have many more to defend (and lose).
This is one piece of 'history' that I sure hope repeats itself ....
Well, we may win the Senate but as long as it is filled with McCain, Graham, and the Northeastern Connection, we may still not be in the majority.
Bark Obama taken to the wood shed
Speaking of overly optimistic odds...
"Brazile put the odds at 50-50,"
Hey Mary! Pass this along to hubby for me, will you?: “It’s the economy, stupid!”
Since World War II, the House of Representatives has flipped parties on six occasions (1946, 1948, 1952, 1954, 1994, and 2006). Every time, the Senate flipped too, even when it had not been predicted to do so. These few examples do not create an iron law of politics, but they do suggest an electoral tendency.
I wouldn’t pay any attention to ANYTHING Mary Malalin says!

I’m still worried. I can’t shake the feeling that the Dems will somehow turn out their voters and shift the media narrative to their favor by November to hold on to just enough race to save their skin.
