It looks more like you’re trying to chill the pubs than the rats.
No, I just don’t want people to be disappointed by unrealistic expectations. We’ll do real well in the House. But where we’re really coming on strong - HUGE = are the governorships, which are a lot more important than people usually think about, especially now. In fact, I think this is what zero is really melting down over. The loss of so many state houses dashes his chances in ‘12. Redistricting is going to kill him. And then there are the illegal alien conflicts and the zerocare suits. There’s also this: he can set down EO’s ‘til he’s blue in the face, but they have no force and effect on governors unless he wants a constitutional crisis as the main feature of his legacy.

I don’t know the poster (chilltherats) at all, but I think it’s unfair to imply that he has a motive to depress Republican turnout because of his gloomy comment on Rossi versus Murray. I’ve seen so many of these close ones turn for the Dems, I understand his idea of being realistic so as not to be so disappointed on Wednesday morning. I remember pretty vividly how relieved I was when it looked like Al Franken didn’t win in Minnesota in 2008, and this was about my only consolation when Obama got elected. Then the results were reversed and Franken did win, and this was a heartbreaker for me.
