The revolution will not be televised

Because there will be no revolution:

A thorough, continually revisited analysis of the races in all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats being contested this year projects that if the election were held today, Republicans would hold at least 54 seats in the Senate — one fewer than today — and 224 seats in the House, seven fewer than now; one contest for the Senate and nine for the House are currently tossups.
That’s it? One lousy seat in the Senate? Hell, if gas prices go down the Republicans might capture a filibuster-proof majority. Political Wire quotes the Rothenberg report: “The five most vulnerable Senate seats up this year are all held by Republicans." They are: Rick Santorum (R-PA), Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Jim Talent (R-MO).” Not so vulnerable so far, what ho?

Bonus – Sleep soundly, Republicans! Scott Elliott of Election Projection has officially declared the House of Representatives safe in 2006.

So that means Bush's command over the national dialogue will continue, almost as strong as it did in 2005-06? Woooo!!!!! All RIGHT! Don't just sleep soundly, Republicans, sleep Schiavo-soundly!
