Any idea how the Dems will do in the mid-terms? Just supposing
the Republicans won a few seats, would it be enough for them to be the majority in the Senate and the House?

I don't know about you all but am scared, they really rallying against the Dems and one never knows how the elections will go. There are some really scary people in the US! Some of them really hate President Obama and with the Juan Cole fiasco, have no idea how the voting will be.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Dems to get in by a majority, otherwise, the Republicans will block everything and it does not seem like President Obama is going to abandon his bipartisan policy. Just last night, I saw Harold Ford advocating for bipartisan ship ... is he clueless?

2. Intrade has some gloomy predictions.
As of this comment, "Republicans to control the US House of Representatives after the 2010 Congressional elections" is trading at around 88%. Feingold is at 18% to hold his seat.

They have Dems controlling the Senate at 56% though.
