(8,419 posts)The House is where the action is, the Senate is a given in my opinion. And in spite of what the experts claim, I think the reals story is can the Repubs hold the House.

(12,504 posts)......just a couple of months ago there were people here on DU gleefully touting the inevitable Dem losses in both houses. More importantly, gleefully touting it was Obama's fault. Will they stick to their guns?
I'm really jazzed up about the upcoming elections.

(22,271 posts)". . . people here on DU gleefully touting the inevitable Dem losses in both houses" 'cause I don't remember those. I remember DUers posting ARTICLES and POLLS saying the Democrats could lose the Senate but I don't remember the "gleefully touting" part. Thanks in advance for providing that link.
