Watch for an October surprise... At this point an Oct. surprise is the only thing that can help us. Democrats look set to take over at least the House, it is quite obvious.

Don't buy into the lies.
The dem's are divided. They're divided on the WOT. They're divided on raising the minimum wage.
They're even divided about whether wealth is good or bad.
In Washington State we have the Cantwell camp 'outraged' over Mike McGavick's $millions made in the private sector.
Yet, in Connecticut most liberals are running from Lieberman to Lamont. The same Lamont who made even more $millions working in the private sector.

"Democrats look set to take over at least the House, it is quite obvious" It's not quite obvious to me. I've been hearing this claptrap from the leftist media ever since the rodents were fumigated in the glorious 94 campaign. There really aren't that many contested seats. As you well know, the various campaign finance "deforms" have virtually insulated incumbents, especially in the House, from the electoral process. I would think that the RATS would have to run-the-table of the few seats that are in play this year in order to line up the House. I don't think they're capable of it, given recent history and given the mood of the electorate.
I don't think the House GOP have done themselves a disservice by hanging tough on the immigration issue (a fiasco if passed), so I would say it's an uphill climb for them. I could be wrong, but I think I'm closer to the truth than those who think there will be a liberal/leftist wave in November. I just don't see it.

Electionprojection.com, a great site run by a Republican which nailed '04 almost dead-on, has us still holding the House for now, but he has the Senate getting too close for comfort.
I think the biggest hits may come at the local level. He has the Republicans down in a LOT of gubernatorial races right now.
