Negron was very good in the debate on CSPAN this morning. Or was that last night? At any rate, Mahoney is an outsourcer and this will be a GOP hold.

Punch Foley for Negron!

I think this is going to be an easy GOP hold. People are smart enough to know who they are voting for.

The only way Mahoney can win is if Republicans stay home.

The fact that it's even a tossup is stunningly good news.

"...if Republicans stay home."

Looks like that ain't happening, thanx to Senator Fauntleroy's "botched joke".

I agree-another example of how MSM bias can backfire on them.

Very likely an R hold then, I'm feeling much better now.

But I'm not letting the GOP House leaders off the hook. It's a mere matter of timing that's made the difference.

If we can keep this one, get one of the GA seats (I think we might get both), and take any other current Dem held seat, I don't see how the Dems take the house.

Everything I've seen has the Dems between +16 and +20 without losing and seats and picking up FL-16. If they don't pick up FL-16 and drop a couple of their own, they won't make it.

Just think...the people of that Florida district get to vote for a REPUBLICAN, not a democrat queer who changed parties to get elected!

My bet is the Republican wins!

This, along with the story on FR the other day about Sekula-Gibbs getting her message out in TX-22, makes me more confident that the Pubbies will hold on to control of the House.

It's looking like IN-07 (Julia Carson's seat) is looking like a possible pickup, at least that's what I read around here.

Everything I've seen has the Dems between +16 and +20 without losing and seats and picking up FL-16. If they don't pick up FL-16 and drop a couple of their own, they won't make it.

Now I like reading The Corner on NRO, but their "boxscore" today had the Dems up something like +27 net gain, which I think is ridiculous. I really can't even see them getting to +20 unless there's an unforseen blowout.

It's ALL turnout on Tuesday. If the Republicans don't get out the vote, then the Dems will get their majorities. If the Republicans are more successful in GOTV ops, then Carville will put the garbage can over his head again and there will be plenty of crow served to political pundits on the 8th.

Somehow, I get the feeling there's going to be a lot of "tossin'-up" come November 8 as Dems across the nation swallow a huge helping of crow.
