But the Dems will still be the majority even with a 20 seat loss, right?

Democrats have gotten themselves into the position of either they turn on each other or risk not getting re-elected. This is what happens when they try and screw the people. Thank God for a Republic.

Uh, 20 seats is a little low for an average mid-term, not when the people are in a frenzy and will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls. If trends continue, losses will be closer to 40-50+.

Charlie you are being too nice. The Rats are going to lose more than 80 and possibly 100. People are getting wise to Othuga even liberals who see him for what he is. The Second American Revolution is coming.

I think he is way understating the mood in this country.
If Pelosi and Reid ram health reform through, they do so at their own and their party’s peril!

Has voter fraud conducted by ACORN /SEIU been factored in? With them in control of the census and with Black Panther poll watchers I think dems are not worried and are looking forward to a landslide in 2010. I think the last free election that we will ever see was in November of 2004-— Just saying.

The real question being ... can the GOP find any non-schmuck candidates to run against the vulnerable D's.

Poor candidates might very well win in 2010, but the question is will they be so poor that 2012 turns into another Democrat year?

In the Republican Revolution of 1994, the Republicans picked up 54 House seats and 8 Senate seats. Such a showing next year WOULD give us back the House and put us within two seats and a Vice President of taking back the Senate.

With continued high unemployment, with the start of inflation, with increased taxes, 2010 will be a big blow-out victory for the Republicans.

36 Seante seats will be up for election, 34 seats for full six-year terms and two special elections (DE and IL). Polls indicate we might be able to beat:

Bennett CO
Boxer CA
Burns IL
Dodd CT
Reid NV
Specter PA

If we can win in three or four of these states, who knows, we might win in another state or two that’s not currently on the radar screen AND keep all our current seats. But eight seats a la 1994 seems out of reach, no less 11 seats as would be needed to take back the Senate.

THEREFORE ... look for the DEMOCOMMIES to be desparate to stack the judiciary following 2010 and prior to 2012.

At this rate, you have HIGHLY motivated seniors and ticked off conservatives. That with a very depressed liberal base could make for a fun 2010.

Basically, I think the Dems are going to sit at home a lot next November.

Only 20 seats? I was hoping for the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Republican landslide of 1994!

How about losing all the RAT seats in 2010? I think 20 is minimal considering the war that has been declared upon the American people by these traitors. The GOP must find candidates now; document the RAT tyranny; and go door to door and get all of these creeps neutered and packing.

I wonder if we are going to have an election.
People are bringing guns to Protest’s.

If there is Marshall Law will there be elections?

I think the dems will only hold seats in the bluest of blue districts so 20 to me is very low. Aren’t there something like 100 dems seats up for re election?

"Slipped completely out of control" does not quite correspond to a loss of only 20 Dem House seats; that would still leave them with a significant majority and would be about an average loss for the party in the White House in a midterm election. "Slipped completely out of control" means more like the Republicans regain the majority, which will require a net gain of 40 seats or more.

Having said that, it's much too early to be guessing on forecasts. Come back a year from now, Cook.

Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.
Obamacare will pass -- that disaster should ensure Demwit majorities for decades to come.
