Note: This OP is a repost of one I posted here on DU last night,
yesterday in the article on the above link the wrong Chart was embedded - DCW has now embedded the correct updated Chart

1. Blah, blah, blah!

I say Dems lose one, Nebraska; and Republicans lose one, Massechusetts. All the others hold. The only question is Montana, which could go either way. (And no recent polling to indicate what's happening there.)

So, IMHO, at worse, we lose one. I do not see much hope for another gain, but it may happen.

2. You forgot Maine - where King, an independent will win

Otherwise, an optimistic prediction - I hope you are right!

3. You are correct, but we still don't know where he will caucus.

We assume he will align with Bernie Sanders, but first he has to be elected (likely) and then we have to see where he stands.

Regardless, the worst the Dems will have if things go extraordinarily bad, is a 50-50 tie (the way things look now -- and I do not see things getting any worse).

President Obama is going to win big, maybe even very big. The Senate is within easy reach for Dems. The House is even within our reach -- indicated by multiple pundits the last couple of weeks.

The bottom line is that this could be an election for the history books. We all need to work our asses off to turn Congress around.

We need a bunch of tea baggers to lose to get the gavel back into Nancy Pelosi's hand.

5. A photo of Boehner crying if/when Pelosi retook the Speaker's position would be priceless :) n/t

4. Berkely is now ahead in the PPP Senate poll for Nevada

By (+4) today. If that Senate race begins moving towards Berkley and away from Heller, that makes Democratic control of the Senate almost assured.
