Rawstory: Barron's editor predicts GOP will retain Congress

Story here

Analysis of campaign funds shows that GOP will lose seats in the House and Senate but will retain majority control of both, according to Barron's Washington Editor.

"Jubilant Democrats should reconsider their order for confetti and noisemakers," Jim McTague writes for Barron's magazine. "The Democrats, as widely reported, are expecting GOP-weary voters to flock to the polls in two weeks and hand them control of the House for the first time in 12 years -- and perhaps the Senate, as well."

"Even some Republicans privately confess that they are anticipating the election-day equivalent of Little Big Horn," the article continues. "Pardon our hubris, but we just don't see it."

According to Barron's analysis, which was "based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance data," all signs suggest "that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least nominally."


So - is this the first salvo in the prep to "manage" this election?
