Anything greater than 43 House seats switching parties is big and out of the statistical norm. In addition, if more than 5 Senate seats change hands. From what I see, it appears that there are those trying to manage perceptions by indicating these are to be expected. Spin doctoring at its best, trying to manage perceptions and creating an alternate reality. If this goes unchecked, then it could spill over from politics and into governance....

It could? Are you sure it hasn't happened already?

It's funny to see Blanche Lincoln put out so many negative ads for months slamming her opponent then last night she puts out the "I've served the best interests of Arkansas, I've done a great job FOR YOU. I hope you'll remember that come election time...that I was working for you."

Really Lincoln? So when the people of Arkansas told you NOT to vote for the Health Care Bill and you did, were you listening to the people you serve? The overall feeling in the state is her last days in office are coming to a quick end. She did some good things for the state, but now her alligiance to her party and not her people cost her the job. Too bad.

If I had the poll to do over, I think I would go with 55+. I haven't seen the Dem. charge at the end I expected. Here in GA I was thinking that 1 House seat would change from Blue to Red, but now think 2 might. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Congrats to the 11 voters and leadbolt - who successfully anticipated the 55+ seat Republican wave.

I always knew that if the loony 'Left' got complete control and began to show their true colors.. they would be soundly rejected by the people of this nation. Well the 'progressives' got their power and it sure as hell didn't take long for the the American people to wise up and throw their socialist asses out of office.

I was seeing anti Sen Tester ads when he's not up for two years. Why so early when nobody is running against him yet?

Send him a message maybe... that he should think about his votes and supporting Obama in a red state. Will be interesting to see if he moves to the right.
