Gergen thinks Dems might take the Senate

[Infinite Hope]

GERGEN: The Democrats definitely take the House - I think somewhere above 20. I thought until recently that they would not take the Senate. I am moving now more - especially after hearing that surprise report tonight on your show about Virginia, about Allen only having 250 people there for his final rally - there's this drooping quality to his campaign - I think for the first time the Democrats have a really fighting chance to take the Senate, too.

3. But Gergen Worked For Clinton Too...

I guess it was a political philosophy that he was used to.

7. I'm listening to KGO and it us just the opposite. I think some are being paid to

say that the repukes are going to take all.

8. He was much better with Shields on NewsHour

than that idiot asshat Whathisname.

9. Gergen has always fascinated me...

because he doesn't always say what you want to hear, and he isn't *always* right, but he usually is. And he's very thoughtful every time I see him.

10. I think Gergen tries to be honest

Of course, he has a more conservative bent than what we like at DU, but I do listen to him when he talks. He tries to be honest and thoughtful in his assessments when being an analyst. He's not a partisan hack at all.
