For some reason, I'm optimistic about the House. The special election in KS that went from a 30 point loss in November to about a 7 point loss in February, and Ossoff's showing in GA-06 so far, make me think that the tide is turning and that we can win enough seats there to get it back with the right candidates in the right places. I just don't see the Senate, though. PROVE ME WRONG, AMERICA (about the Senate, not the House)!
