The COOK REPORT..."non-partisan"; IN WHAT UNIVERSE?

We'll keep the House and add to our Senate's majority; maybe even add a couple to the House's majority too.

I listened to Cook’s speech on C-Span last nite. He discussed the ’16 election, and it was, unfortunately, pretty credible sounding. He pointed out that ’16 presidential election pivoted on small margins in three states - PA, WI, and MI - which the polling just didn’t pick up. It is a blessing that those three states turned the way they did. He did preface his remarks by saying that polling isn’t as good as it used to be, because people screen out telemarketing phone calls now.

I sure hope he’s wrong about Tuesday, because his prediction includes bad results not only in the House but down ballot and in some governorships.

We couldn’t possibly be having all this trouble with commies in the Democrat Party if not for the fact that wire service journalism is a conspiracy against the public. The AP has to be sued into oblivion, IMHO. The NY Times v. Sullivan decision which makes it hard for Democrat as well as Republican politicians to sue for libel - as well as the First Amendment itself - is predicated on the assumption of heterogeneity in journalism. The wire services invalidate that premise - and the Democrats go along and get along.
