I think we'll keep both Houses, probably breaking even or losing one seat in the Senate, and losing about 3 in the House.

I agree that we'll probably keep both Houses, although I'd put the likely loss in the Senate at 2-3 seats, and I'm a bit more worried about the House.

Please. Only a fool bets on politics or women.

Only a fool turns down a bet when the odds are substantially in his favor. I made quite a significant chunk of cash from the scaredy-cats on Tradesports who believed the exit polls in 2004.

Obviously, there will be no disappointment for you. You already have figured out the entire scenario on how we are going to lose big time.

I will be disappointed; I should not have implied that I wouldn't be. What I won't be is surprised. And yes, I've figured out the scenario by looking at the seats in play, looking at which incumbents and open seats for which party are vulnerable, and seeing how things are likely (not certain, but likely) to play out.

I'll just stay at home and not vote. - We have already lost.

I always vote, even when I'm certain to lose. I lived in one of the bluest districts in California, and I still turned out to vote for the doomed GOP candidates in the House, Senate, and local races. Voting is a civic duty, even when you know you'll lose.

After all, you said so. LOL!

I said so and I explained my reasons, in contrast to Pukin Dog who said otherwise and called dissenters idiots and morons.

What is going to happen is that we are going to vote and guess what? thats all that we need

Bet me. Please.

Enough of you curmudgeon provocations already. The air is adequately full of negative ions! Telling the truth in love is extremely more effective (even your own personal truth can sometimes be relative).

I am telling the truth. It's a disappointing and uncomfortable truth, but it's the truth nonetheless. Spouting off optimistic predictions based on mindless cheerleading and blindness to the facts, now that's not telling the truth.

Not being a hippy-freak liberal, I don't believe in "negative ions" impacting outcomes, nor do I believe that we can make something happen just by "visualizing" it. The route to victory lies in recognizing where you're weak, not pretending that weakness doesn't exist.

Don't need to. - What I will do is put it right in your face, and that is worth far more to me than an insignificant amount of money, given my current economic situation.

remember it come 11/06. - I will.
