Midterm prediction - Right Wing News has the collective opinion of right-of-center bloggers (including yours truly) on whether the GOP will hold the House and Senate. I’m not as optimistic as others, but maybe they know something I don’t.

Most of the optimistic ones are in flyover country -- where the issue will actually be settled. They know what their neighbors are telling them. In MA, you are isolated from that.
It's going to be hilarious watching the GOP pretend to celebrate. The night's highlight will be something like a big group exhale, when a broken-down piece of crap like George Allen hangs onto his office. Or, even more embarrassingly, a Joe Lieberman win. (Beggars can't be choosers.)
The right has tried very hard to overinflate expectations, so that an all-Democratic night won't seem as successful... to somebody... somehow.
Okay, if you say so. It must be some other party that's sending its base all that "frightening specter of Speaker Pelosi" material.
More Diebold jokes, that's still classic. The moral integrity of our government always makes a great punchline. And like the similarly unembarrassable Boss Tweed said, "What are you going to do about it?"
After all the yokking it up over documented voter fraud and pollplace malfunctioning, it would be wonderful to hear the red pigsqueals if Hugo Chavez's e-voting machines could ever manage to put Arizona's Jim Pederson into the Senate.
Anonymous sez: "The right has tried very hard to overinflate expectations, so that an all-Democratic night won't seem as successful... to somebody... somehow."
But Craigm68 says that just isn't happening.
Loony Ann Coulter is making the rounds, saying that anything less than a 60-70-seat pickup is a losing night for the Democrats: http://mediamatters.org/items/200610270008
Charles Krauthammer writes that unless the Dems pick up at least 35-40 seats, it's an unhistoric shuffling, and it's all because of an unlucky run of irreproduceable local problems anyhow. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/CharlesKrauthammer/2006/11/03/the_anti-republican_wave
Need more? Open your eyes. And get ready for a round of "Yeah, the Democrats won, but they didn't *really* win/win big enough/win for any reason" whimpering.

Good luck with that plan!
"The right has tried very hard to overinflate expectations, so that an all-Democratic night won't seem as successful... to somebody... somehow."
Really? Is that why the right has been questioning every poll that says the Dems are going to win?
But how can the Dems win?
Don't we have Diebold and Karl Rove?
So why should Dem's even bother voting?
