Votemaster's map today puts the Senate races at what we're likely to see on Tuesday, IF - and only if - there is no outlandish theft. Yeah yeah, I'm not holding my breath on that one. The Senate is at 51 to 49, which is just not enough if Loserman is elected, and it looks like he will, sadly enough. We really need TN to pull it out of Cheney's tie-breaking vote, and that's looking slim, as well. About the only thing that might reverse it would be a really nasty Corker scandal, immediately.
The House (scroll down on his link) still looks like a done deal, 240 Dems to 195 Repugs. However, I confess that I have not been watching just how many of those are close enough for theft, so I will attempt to review that by Monday night.
Despite the Senate numbers showing a squeeker for the Repugs, they have to remain nervous about any of their own Senators who might actually, like, get a conscience, or even listen to their constituents in matters of the war and corruption and, say, impeachment. In a clear indication that someone is panicked and desperate, Charles Schumer's office received an envelope of the frightening (as opposed to deadly) powder.
Schumer, you recall, is currently chair of the DSCC, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Coincidence?

It pisses me off to no end that more Senate dems have refused to openly support Ned Lamont, or have offered only lukewarm support to his campaign. They treat Lamont as if he's a B-list New Guy in the neighborhood who nobody really wants to play with, instead of the
nominee from their own frigging Party...
Yup, Joe's gotta be feeling pretty confident these days, and why shouldn't he?
"People are reading," he said. "They see that there's a chance that Democrats might control and they know that if that happens, that I would be a committee chair and also would be in the majority."
Thanks, for nothing, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer. I guess elections really DO have consequences, don't they?
Sorry, I meant to sign the above post. I wrote it before linking to the first article, which is indeed compelling. As much as we would like to believe that our representative democracy still exists, the facts to not support this belief. I have long believed that one of the real reasons for for use of wiretapping surveillance is to keep the dems in check. Looks like it's working.
