I've been cautiously optimistic (and praying) about this election.
The so-called Blue Wave of the House and Senate looks like it may be boiling down more to the House (fingers crossed).
Chaffee was given up for lost but it looks like he's coming back in the polls as are Burns, Talent, Corker, Steele and DeWine has cut Brown's lead in 1/2 in 1 week (if you can believe the polls and the validity of them).
Reports I've read on FR from those on the ground in Ohio and PA are positive. I sure wish Santorum could win in PA, and, while Allen hasn't run the best race (not totally all his fault given the constant bashing by the WAcomPost), he has a good chance.
I've been following the posts and predictions by LS and Robfrom GA.
Here's a post from LS re MN:
Check out MN!! Movement there, too. Posted here, last night

I just saw some “eyes-only” numbers in the Senate race. All I can say is Mark is closing fast. If we keep closing for the next 48 hours at the rate we have for the last two days, Tuesday will be a late night.
You might blow this off . . . if not for the fact that a) the national generic number for Republicans has surged int he last 72 hours, and b) that EVERY SINGLE RACE is rapidly shifting to the GOP.

On the House:
I"m 100% sure we'll win that seat, and the Foley/Negron seat now. Keep watching CT and IN. There are a total of 7 seats there that will affect things: Simmons, Shays, Johnson, Carson, Sodrel, Hostetler, and Chacoba. If we win five of those, it's over. If we win all seven, we have a good shot at GAINING (you heard me) gaining 1-2 seats.

Also watch Jim Geraghty posts on NRO:

More data on that thought?
Just what I say in my Senate Prediction thread, which I think you have already seen:
SENATE 2006 PREDICTIONS- November 2006 Update
I also agree with Larry (LS), I see single digit House changes, I think a few more that Larry sees, maybe 7-10. We will take the two Dem seats in GA-- 08 and 12! The GOP will hold the House IMHO.
I'm also seeing a stronger chance for DeWine to hold on to his seat in the last three days.
The sweetest win would be Irey over Murtha. Followed by Santorum, and then Steele.
The sweetest loss would be no question-- Chafee.
