1. Factor in O'Donnell's debate performance tonight, and the odds'll go down to "fat chance"

Now to keep 'em from getting the house...

:mad:

11. O'Donnell's performance doesn't impact their senate chances

since Silver already had her chanced of winning at about zero.

2. I'm gobsmacked. I've been reading here at DU that it's a done deal, by-bye Dem majority.

9. I feel pretty confident about the Senate... it's the House that has me freaking

3. Woo Hoo!

Good. Lets get the House #'s going in the other direction too.

Keep working hard!

4. That's only for the Senate..... we need to keep the House too!

6. All that anonymous & foreign corporate republican money & lies will be flooding the airwaves

most of the corporate tens of millions of dollars will be going to republican congressional races, probably in your districts and mine....This has to be exposed and challenged every day until the elections by the Democrats.

8. But the candidates weren't well-chosen

I think you given campaign ads too much credit but if not, it is scary to think people vote by campaign rhetoric alone.

5. K & R

:thumbsup:

7. Poor R candidates

I predict most Dems will win by a small margin.

10. By OUR standards, maybe. But they're dreamboats for the willfully ignorant.

No plan, no platform, no indication they're qualified, but they hate liberals and use all the correct memes. Well, most of the time. Eh, some of the time.

12. What about the house?

Anyone? :shrug:
