How are we looking Senate/House - wise?

[Skip Intro]

There's more than one office up for grabs in November.

How are we doing on solidifying a lead in the Senate and the House?

1. Here in NC...

I believe that we have a 50% chance of beating Dole.

7. Seriously???

That would be awesome.

2. In MD-1

They ran Gilchrest out in the primary with a neocon in the "Club for Growth", for not towing the party line.
Gilchrest was environmental and well liked here.
I'd bet money that Kratovil(D) will beat this new guy.

Can't get rid of Mikulski...yet.

According to current polls, we're looking at +4 in the Senate, +7 in the House.

4. I think dems will do better than that

In the Senate I think dems will pick up VA, NH, NM, CO and a couple of the following: AK, MN, MS or NC.

In the House I believe that it'll be closer to +10.

5. My Kahuna friend sez Senate 7+....House 15 + .Destiny and the GOP planned this

madness of the perfect double cross...

Bush and McTush ..... One Dufus...maybe..... Two Dufuses...in a row?? I don't think so....

6. Polls were showing +5 in the Senate up until recently.

And I agree we could end up doing better than that. For one thing, Obama will probably have better coattails by election day if he doesn't get too carried away with this Republican lite thing. And for another, some of the pro-GOP poll respondents will actually stay home this Novemer.

11. Jesse Ventura is running in Minnesota

It'll be interesting to see how that dynamic turns out.

9. Thank you for reminding me to volunteer for Udall here in

Colorado. It's something I've been meaning to do but just haven't gotten around to yet. But I will do that this very morning. Salazar is a really conservative Dem but Udall will be much better.

Since I've cut my work hours down, I can certainly spend more time helping out.

Great OP that reminds us of the big picture. Thanks again.
