The question around Washington today is not whether Nov. 2 will be a difficult day for the Democrats who control Congress, but rather how bad it will be.
Increasingly, it looks like the answer depends on which chamber of Congress you're following.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report now estimates that more than 90 Democratic House seats are potentially in play; on the Republican side of the aisle, it estimates that only nine appear in jeopardy. As a result, most leading forecasters say it is more likely that Republicans will win the 39 House seats they need to take control.
On the Senate side, however, the battle has narrowed to a handful of true nail-biters in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Colorado - all of which are likely to stay close to the end.
It would take a sweep of nearly all of them, improbable but not impossible, for the Republicans to pick up the 10 seats they need to gain control of the chamber. At this point, it's possible that Democrats will end up losing only three or four seats, and they will count that as a good night.
If these trends hold - if the Republicans do gain the House without also taking control of the Senate - that would represent a historic anomaly: Not since the election of 1930 has the House changed hands without the Senate following suit.

They’ll be so dizzy from all the spinning they’ve been doing that they’ll never notice what happened.
The big question is how much voter fraud will the Marxist get away with.
No doubt, this election will set a record for dead, illegal, and multi voters.
I am anxious to see Pelosi’s reaction to getting the gavel...I mean boot.
My gut tells me that a couple of Dem senators go down to everyone’s surprise. I just can’t see this kind of Republican support in house races not carrying over into some Senate races.
Good point.
Didn’t Tumulty tell us just a couple of days ago how fabulously well the early voting was going for the RATs?
Dems are about ready to have a XLarge can of whoop-ass opened up on them!
(but I'll remember that you said it first...lol)
“The big question is how much voter fraud will the Marxist get away with.”
My fear as well. I think they are already laying smoke for such an undertaking. Fake polls, unrealistic optimism in public, and an army of lawyers on retainer. To the Bolshevik, the ends always justify the means.
This should be interesting, to say the least.
As my grandmother used to say, she [Tumulty] is going to need the crying towel.
Watching Pelosi and her Nancy Boys lose power is going to be a joy to watch.

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.
It’s a smackdown. Obama can take his socialism and get bent! This is America, Man UP!
Clark County, Nevada is going to be tied up in the courts until next summer over the outcome of Reid vs Angle.
I’d like to see that giant gavel ripped from Pelosi’s swarmy hands!
Pelosi will probably say the American people are crazy.
