15. Conventional wisdom aside.

Polling shows we are in trouble in a number of Senate Races. Even ones we lead, we have less than 50% and that means we need to pick up as many as the Rethugs do to win. Control of the Senate is in question, and we could be seeing Harry Reid as Minority leader come January.

The House is a lost cause. Governerships is iffy.

So we're down to the Senate. What is our battle plan as Democrats? Well, it seems to be hitting our knees every night and praying to a god that almost certainly doesn't exist that the Rethugs screw up worse than we do.
