(31,849 posts)2 months out from the election, we can bet the real number is closer to +5 or 6.
Again, if Democratic candidates, from the top to the bottom of the ticket, would hit the "Look what the gop has done for the last 3 years" narrative (something that the majority of the electorate and a plurity of independants recognize ... we could very well see a reversal of 2010 in the House and an expansion in the Senate, along with a Democratic whitehouse.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
