MSNBC: Question now is how big will House Dem majority be
Until mid-September, House Republicans' built-in advantages appeared strong enough to protect their majority, despite the electorate's increasingly anti-Republican mood. The GOP had few vulnerable open seats, most of its incumbents were skilled at waging hard-hitting campaigns, and the party seemed to have plenty of time and money to defend its most-endangered seats.

Now, in the final days before Tuesday's election, Democrats are poised to take control of the House by flipping more than the necessary 15 seats. And the real question doesn't seem to be whether they will succeed but how large their majority will be. A Democratic edge of five to 10 seats, perhaps more, looks probable.

1. 9 Put me down for $10.00...
9 in the house, a 1 or 2 margin in the Senate. Barring election fraud.

8. My head knows it but my heart is still holding back
I am allowing myself the briefest fantasies of a Dem-controlled House and possibly Senate. I found myself nearly in tears in the car the other day, thinking of how a brighter future is right around the corner for this country.

It makes my guts twist to think that for the entire time my kids have been alive, Repukes have been in charge of the national agenda. I can't wait for my children to know something better. Only a few more days to go!

9. My Q is: if the Dems lose big, will MSNBC plunge into a full-scale
investigation into how the votes were stolen? And will it encourage the hiring of lawyers and poll watchers to determine just how the elections were stolen? And will it keep up the drumbeat until the elections are redone with tamperproof voting machines?

If not, then: MSNBC, STFU. You're only encouraging freepers to get out and vote against all those debbil Dems.
