except that -- in 1994 -- the pundit class (led by Charlie Cook) continued top deny the magnitude of the forthcoming change up until it happened... and it's August, not October... right now, lots of folks are considering their options without thinking through if the alternative is really acceptable.

This guy predicts the Democrats winning back the House every two years. He did it in 2002, I know, and also said Kerry would win the presidency.

They are relying upon Democratically weighted polls to predict a November win for the Dems, just so they can say it was stolen by the evil, crooked Republicans.

Cook is a hysteric Leftist, NOT a serious political thinker. This is like asking Jame Carvell what he thinks. It pure propaganda. They pull this out EVERY 2 years. The DNC Whores like Cook do this because the DNC figures it will help depress Republican Fund raising in the last period going into the Campaign.
Go study your history. Cook sings the same song makes the same claims EVERY election year.
NEVER will you ever hear any of these Junk Media types like Cook ever tell you how much trouble the Dems are in. Not in 1980, 1984, 1994 or 2002.
Life is a bell curve. Anyone who continually falls on the extreme end one way or the other is an Advocate, not an Analysis.

The political climate feels much as it did before previous elections that produced sizable upheavals, such as in 1994 Yeah - I remember that night - Peter Jennings said the voters were having a "temper tantrum"

Even if Dems win, the big picture will revert momentarily. Dems will fail to prosecute the War Against Islamofascism, and we'll get hit again. The very next election cycle, Rs will be back in.
Unfortunately, we'll have another strike. Fortunately, it will always play to the favor of the party willing to defend the Republic.

Singing to self:
Don't Bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me. (Repeat)
Roool another one,
Just like the other one.
You've been hanging onto it,
And I sure would like a hit.
Chorus (All together now)
Don't Bogart that joint my friend . . .
