Move Over Nate: My Prediction From Last Friday
Wherein I wrote:
The Real Story Of This Election Is Going To Be President Obama's Long Coattails
Something is happening out there in the heartland - many races are moving in the Ds favor in places that were R gimmees a few months ago.
I don't know if there's enough time left to close all of these deals, but I have the feeling that President Obama's re-election is going to be overshadowed by significant D gains elsewhere, gains that nobody in the media saw coming.
