We'll be jinxed. We must have the mindset that we are huge underdogs.

9. We are huge underdogs

The betting line on senate control dropped today from 80% GOP favored down to 75%. So 1 chance in 4 is roughly the equivalent of an 8 point underdog in a football game.

If you look at the individual races it's possible to come up with +6, but that requires Democrats sweeping the tossup seats including several where we are currently the underdog, namely Missouri and Tennessee and New Jersey. The latter I'm not in agreement that we should be the underdog but that's where it is. Plus, states like Ohio and Rhode Island are hardly in the bag, perhaps slight advantages.

In '02 and '04 on this site there were tons of threads insisting we would win all the tossup seats. This year it's obviously more feasible given the national mood, but I'm still very skeptical since the states in question are red states like Ohio and Missouri and Tennessee and Virginia.

The other side is not going to forfeit so we better pretend this is a presidential year and get to the polls in droves.

11. betting sites are junk

they were horrendous in 2004. Going by history, the parties don't win an equal amount of Senate seats each, they tend to break one way or the other. If they go GOP, then TN, OH, MO, and RI will go GOP. If they break DEM, they will all go that way.

4. A lot of those polls are within the margin-of-error, and...

...Republicans have a better Get-Out-the-Vote operation.

5. Too early to tell

The pukes will start swift boating the kid who corresponded with Foley. Give them a couple weeks and you never know what other dirty tricks they will play and how they may change public opinion.

6. Problem

If Lieberman wins he could vote for Republican control which would throw it to 5050 and allows Cheney the tie breaking vote for control.Right now momenturem Is on for all our sitting senators to be relected. New Jersery may be breaking our way.We are on tap to keep the Minnesotta and Maryland
seats.Harlod Ford Jr has a good shot at taking Frist's seat,and we could knock off Incumbents In Montana,Missouri,Pennyslvannia,Ohio,and Rhode Island.Bernie Sanders Is one of Us although he still
calls himself an Independt.But If Lieberman wins and George Allen survies In Virginia we may be screwed.Let's hope Lamont can pull It off.The Woodword revelations and the Foley scandal may have put the nail In the Republicans coffin for 06 If we get out and vote.I just pray to god Lamont can previll so we can have the chance to take the senate.
