I thought the chance of the GOP winning a Senate majority were slim but now it looks possible. Probably even the House could be captured, which would be great.

Looks like this whole GovCare thing is working like a charm.

for the GOP.

The most conservative estimate of pickups [not including Brown’s ;^)] in the Senate is 3-5. 7 is more likely. 9 would constitute a landslide vote against Obama. Anyway, we still have many, many months to go til the election and things can certainly change in a hurry, especially if Health Care dies and the electorate forgets about it.

I wonder why Beau would choose not to run? At this stage, they've gotta figure he would win, Scott Brown notwithstanding. Maybe he doesn't want his father's life. Or maybe he's got skeletons...naah, that doesn't matter to Dems. Maybe....get this.....he's more conservative than old Dad. He did just get back from a tour in Iraq.

Anyone have a good feel for why?

Only a snob would name their kid Beau.

The son won’t even run to take his dad’s spot. That should tell you of the non-existant coattails of this administration.

Republican hopes of major gains in November's mid-term congressional elections have been boosted by a new report that identified 58 Democratic-held seats in the House of Representatives as vulnerable.

The socialists hold 256 seats, all of which are up for election this year (and every two years). We can't just focus on the 58 most vulnerable. We need to write off the 100-150 worst districts and challenge the liberals in every other district. Let's see if they can defend 100-150 seats against real challenges ... with Obama in the news on a daily basis!
