On Tuesday, there was really good news for Democrats. The latest polls showed them pulling neck and neck to keep control of the Senate, data modelers like Nate Silver were adjusting their percentages to nearly 50/50, and Republicans were getting nervous.

They will all act so totally dumbfounded like in 2012 when they were boosting Romney's chances to an outrageous degree and wound up looking stupid and out and out of touch.
