"GOP wins +1 in the Senate, maybe +3 if Chafee holds, possibly as many as +5!!! (yes, you heard it here first)

+1 to +3 in the House. It would have been more if not for the DeLay screw up."

Boy I hope your right. I don't see it though. I think the base is not as highly motivated and I think it will cost us the tight races. The biggest thing helping the Pubs is the absence of a plan by the Rats if they get a majority.

I don't believe the polls give us a good measurement until a month or so before the election.

Don't be so sure it can't happen. As often occurs the elections are won in tides. By that I mean most house races will break one way. Increasingly it looks to be the GOP's way. The Senate is a little more fickle but I'm not very concerned about it. (And after all, we 60 seats for a real majority and that won't happen this year.)

The base is not motivated . . . yet.

I have a bad feeling that some terrorist attack or some other extraneous thing will motivate them before election day.
