Sabato just reads my posts here at FR, and cribs them. That much is clear. :)

I don't think we need to worry about Chaffee anymore... It seems Chaffee is upset about the judiciary committee not allowing nominations to the full senate floor...

Sabato based this on the infamous "kitchen table" issues

The kitchen table just got thrown out with the kitchen sink.

Two months is a L O N G T I M E in politics!

I hope the Dim's have a lot to fear, but it is too soon to tell.

The Democrats, in my opinion, had the momentum. Until Wednesday that is when they ran smack dab into the brick wall of September 11. They lost their traction over three days of remembrance and have been unable to get it back due to Iraq being thrust onto the front burner by President Bush.

I would say that the shooter is being iced.

Bump and a bookmark.

I will repeat MY earlier prediction that, with just a few races breaking the right way, we could have a 4-5 vote lead in the Senate and 10-15 margin in the House! BTTT for the GOP! And they will increase the number of GOP governors also!

[Dog Gone]

Things are currently breaking in the GOP's favor. Whether that can be sustained for another six weeks is anybody's guess, but I'm very encouraged.

Thanks,LS for this thread.BTW,has anybody seen or heard of any polls taken after the Presiden't UN speech? I wonder how the average American saw it. Thanks.

You're being over optimistic in your predictions. Senate = 1 to 3 gain for the GOP. House = 5 to 7 gain for the GOP. Larry Sabato is known as the "mouth of the South" as getting himself quoted as an expert in more papers than any other non-elected human. His predictions are only average.
