Simply too many races in the margin of error. At best, I barely expect to hang on to it, and only then if indeed all of the indies keep caucusing with the dems. I'm more pessimistic overall, because I think repubs have been skewing the polls by telling pollsters they won't vote for their guys to show how ticked they are, but I think when it comes down to the wire, they 'come home' and hold their noses and vote just like dems do.

I will take time to dance a happy dance if Grimes does manage to unseat McTurtle, though.
