polling in the senate races has been breaking very clearly toward the Ds.

This is SO important. A little margin would be nice, of course.

But, they HAVE to hold the senate, even 50/50 with the president reelected, to keep the Rs from just eviscerating him in his second term.

Sad, just sad.

IDEALLY, you want the majorities to actually get some things done.

But, they are SO far gone right now, you want to see them out of power just to keep them from going completely off the hinges.
