Poll question: Will Dems lose one or both the Senate and the House in 2010? |
|
We're going to get our asses kicked in the House and barely hold the Senate.

1. House is probably gone, but they'll hold on to the Senate |
|
It may well be that the baggage of the Tea Party candidates (with the exception of Rand Paul, who will win) will make the difference for the Dems in the Senate.

6. I don't know about that |
|
He got booted from the Republican leadership in the 90s when the powers that were decided he and the Gingrich crew weren't getting the message out right. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again, especially if they only squeak by with a small majority (though personally, I think they will gain most of the seats they are aiming for). The next few years of Republican internal politics will be quite interesting.

2. I think we'll hold both. |
|
The Republicans at one point must have thought they could knock off the blue team in the two big coastal states -- New York and California.
I don't think that's going to happen. Carl Paladino? Give me a break. Meg Whitman? Puke City.

12. I'm sorry, but what do either of those two have to do with the House or Senate? |
|
They are running for governor.

3. Lose Neither, but that just might be desperate hope. I don't know which |
|
would upset me more, the House or the Senate.

4. The incumbency rate is about 90%, usually. |
|
Most people like their incumbents and think that the problems with congress don't apply to them. It's aways "that bastard congressman from ________" that's the problem, not good old incumbent X.

7. I would love to vote neither, but I fear the House is gone. |
|
What distresses me even more is the possible loss of my favorite senator, Russ Feingold.
