On http://www.electoral-vote.com things don't look as bad as I thought.

SENATE:
Dem 51
GOP 48
Ties 1

HOUSE:
Dem 206
GOP 201
Ties 28

Not that we aren't going to lose seats, but the dire predictions on the news for months seems a little over blown.

1. I agree.

We will lose some seats, but nothing like the "landslide" being reported by the right wing media! These clowns just keep on talking about how "bad it's going to be" for the democrats. When democrats get out and vote instead of staying home because the media keeps saying it's a "lost cause", then what will the morons say?

If only Boehner and Bachmann would lose their seat, or at least Bachmann, it would make me sooooooooooo very, very, happy!

2. Bachmann! Arrrgh.

To the south of her district, here in IA, we are stuck with her evil twin, Steve King. He'll probably get re-elected by 55 or 60%. :grr:

3. The dire predictions reached the absurd point when

ABC posted a poll saying when it was done Republicans would hold 411 House seats and 113 Senate seats. Pretty much giving Republicans a win in every contest.

Of course the Onion couldn't let that one go. Their prediction? Repugs to take 8000 House seats and 1500 Senate seats!!!! :rofl:
