19. I doubt there will be a landslide
But, even without one we have a very good shot at picking up the Senate because in every race except Georgia we have stronger candidates that the republicans.

However, the House is a different story. Due to gerrymandering there are very few swing districts. Also, Texas redistricting guarentees at least a couple republican pickups and maybe even 6 losses for us. So, it seems like democrats would have to win about every competitive race and a Kerry landslike could cause the democrats to win most of those seats. Still, I doubt we could win all because some candidates just run horrible campaigns or have ethical problems.
