I am getting really worried about Corker in TN, Talent in MO, and to a smaller degree George "constantly apologize and hope to run out the clock" Allen in VA. Burns seems to be edging closer in MT, and GOTV is early in DeWine's favor - also, Chafee is more popular in RI than many Freepers believe. But I am beginning to fear for the first time that the Dems just might take the Senate, and probably have the House all but sown up.

I wouldn't worry about Allen. There hasn't been a single independent poll that has showed Webb ahead. I think Corker's chances are looking better. MO is going to be tough, but I still have hope.

Other than that I agree with you that things do not look very good. The optimism around here is excessive, and the insistence that the GOP will pick up seats is delusional.

Hmmmmm ??? I sure wouldn't want you on any team I was on.
"prepare to lose, because the MSM & the talking heads tell us so"
Maybe GOP voter are as stupid as the MSM thinks we are?
Naaaaaa just a few hindering defeatist.

No, it would be delusional if I didn't have a helluva track record in my picks. In 2002, I had EVERY senate race right except Thune (who lost by only 500 votes) and in 2004 I had EVERY senate race right except Colorado (very close). And when Zogby and other pollsters had Kerry winning, I had Bush with 300 EVs---I missed only PA.

And being on the ground in OH, just as I was in 2004 when people were freaking out about the "exit polls," I know that what the pollsters are reporting is WAY out of line with reality, and that the GOP will likely gain one seat, maybe two in the Senate. It's a little tougher in the House, where Taylor and DeLay are hurting us, but there are FIVE Dem incumbent pickups for us, and I think we'll end up with +1 there.
