ONLY FIVE?????
We’ve got the Socialists taking over our country and these people can say that the GOP will ONLY get five seats??? Give me a break! I think we’ll get waaaaaaaay more than that.
Five is actually doing pretty well. And, he's not saying this is the best case scenario, just the likely scenario at this point in time.
It's just not a great year for GOP opportunity in the Senate this cycle because - as luck would have it - there are more Republicans (or vacated GOP seats) up for reelection than there are Democrats.
Remember, only 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection in any one election year and not the entire body, like is in the House.
Depends on the state, how many large cities influence their elections, amount of voter fraud and intimidation, percentage of voters on the public dole etc.
In the House, one must factor in gerrymandering.
Exactly my first reaction. 5? WTF? 15 or 20 is waht I want.
