Absolutely a loss of even 20 seats, esp. in time of an "unpopular" war and a pres. with low poll numbers would be considered nothing at all by a truly objective press; and a loss of only 4-5 seats would be considered a miracle or a statement of the president and party's great magnetism.

But don't count on hearing that story if we lose so much as ONE seat---they will portray it as Little Big Horn, Kasserine Pass, and Isandlwana all packed together.

Heck, the damage that Taft has done in OH, it's amazing that every Republican isn't swept out.

I heard parts of a halfhour Sherrod Brown infomercial on radio today. Every chance he got, he spoke about "the DeWine/Taft leadership" that has got Ohio into such a fix. As if a Senator and governor had much to do with each other politically during off-years. The talking point is clear though, and potentially damaging based on Taft's 11% approval rating.
