Oh my.
That's certainly unexpected.
Not by me. I see an 80-seat turnaround; possible two weeks ago, upgraded to probable on Sunday with Gibbs' essentially ceding the House to the GOP. 100 seats, even a month ago unthinkable, is now about 5%, but all events to November have to coincide with overall conservative assertiveness. The
media Democratic-controlled 4th branch of government will not be a factor this time around, or more precisely, will have a negative effect on for the dems as much as a positive effect.
In the senate, I see a 12-16 seat turnaround, enough to ensure reasonable conservative control over the Dems/Independents/RINOS (re: Socialists) in controlling the agenda. Fence sitting is not going to be an option as it has in the past for the republicans. We may also pick up DINO to RINO defections after the election, whom I will watch extremely carefully.
And my English associate had taken a bet three months ago that the republicans would take the house and the senate, and got 16-1 odds (I originally thought he had 12). This was when they started the first line. Since then, the odds have dropped significantly (of course, his 75,000 pound bet may have shifted it a bit). Right now, the odds are even for the house, and 2/1 democrats (which is still a great bet.)
