The last TV ads have been cut. The final polls have been conducted. The end-of-campaign expenditures are being made.
Now, for Democratic consultants and campaign officials who have plotted and strategized for months to preserve the embattled House majority, there’s nothing left to do but sit and wait for the expected horrors of Election Day to unfold.
There is nearly uniform consensus among Democratic campaign professionals that the House is gone — the only question, it seems, is how many seats they will lose.
While few will say so on the record for fear of alienating party officials or depressing turnout, every one of nearly a dozen Democratic House consultants and political strategists surveyed expect a GOP majority to be elected Tuesday — the consensus was that Democrats would lose somewhere between 50 and 60 seats.
A senior party consultant who was on the low end with his predictions said the party would lose between 40 and 50 seats. On the high end, one Democratic consultant said losses could number around 70 seats.
All spoke to the grimness of the mood.
“It sucks,” said Dave Beattie, a Florida-based Democratic pollster who is working on a slate of competitive House races and who acknowledges that the lower congressional chamber is lost. “I’m resigned to the fact that it sucks.”

Billy Baroo..oh, Billy, Billy, Billy ...
nObama will get nothing and like it!
That’s easy, it’s November: A turkey with his wattle awaits an unsavory fate. (Though in his case it isn’t coming until 2012.)
Oh there is more left... it is called voter fraud.
If the dems are made to feel even HALF as sad as I felt after the 08 election, it will be a WONDERFUL DAY!
Nov. 2008. Those were some of the darkest days.
Socialism always fails, always.
“Grim Dems await huge House losses”
bttt
“In a wave election, part of the problem is that you feel powerless. Everything I feel I know how to do, that I’m trained to do, I can’t do. And that feeling is pervasive,” said the pollster. “There’s a sense that there’s nothing you can do about it. When you know your friends are on the chopping block, it’s hard.”Still believe the polls?
There, All better
Good, I hope they are crapping down both legs and can’t find the Kopectate.
I refuse to get caught up in the idea that we have it all wrapped up, although I have hope that things will go our way.
As I've stated on earlier posts, my faith in the electorate was severely damaged in 2008. I am praying for redemption.
If we pull this off, I'm going to celebrate with a box of Mallomars. Not just one or two, the entire box of 18. The stomach ache will be worth it.
Every time a talking head uses the words “repudiate” or “bloodbath”, I'll take another bite of the best cookie ever made. If they give Governor Palin credit for any of the victories, I eat the cookie whole. It's not an exciting life, but it's my life. LOL

It sucks because your party sucks, Dave.
Govern against the will of the people, suffer the consequences.
Not hard to understand, really. They should have cemented their dictatorship first or at least declared martial law. Really arrogant to treat America like a bunch of soviet peasants and then give them a free shot to answer back. They believed their adoring media, not the mob with the pitchforks.
I like your post and agree with your sentiments. I may imitate your game plan, but with a barbequed chicken instead of a box of Mallowmars.
Oh you liberal wankers, it is only just beginning to ‘suck’. We are going to take a microscope to your assets and fistfulls of subpoenas to make it suck for the next 100 years for you and yours.
Let’s DESTROY the Democrap party !!!!
I already have a bottle of very good wine cold for Tuesday evening. Partay time!!!
