You all need to relax. The DEMS are laughing watching you guys panic. The Dems are not going to win. The media predicts this EVERYTIME!.. In 2002 the media was saying the dems only need 6 seats to win now its 16. You guys are buying into the same crap the media wants you to. After 9-11 the montra that all politics are local has changed. Everyone knows the media lies especially since the web. Everyone now see the big picture. I am pro-life and use to only vote pro life candidates but now I see the bigger picture about controlling agenda and the what comes up for a vote. This is especially true in regards to defense. 60% on America is conservative. That 60% won't let us down. GO to church and pray. Say a Novena, light a candle or whatever just have faith!

In 2002 RealClearPolitics was the ONLY major political observer site to predict the Republican gains which did surface on election day. That is part of what makes me nervous. They do not shiv for Dems.

On the other hand, to put this in balance, they did not make their prediction of a better-than-expected Republican performance in 2002 until Sunday afternoon, about 36 hours before the election began, though they did begin to say things in the run up to the election which suggested that the conventional wisdom about Democratic gains was flawed. They are in fact saying things like that about the Senate races right now. They have moved from suggesting the Dems were on track to take six seats to saying they're now on track to take four, and they are already talking about a Republican surge in Montana as well as New Jersey and they're even discussing Maryland. So that is a similar sign to what we saw in 2004.

But all of that deals with the Senate. I have not seen much to suggest the House races are turning around. But I do not rule out that they just might.
