The shape of things in a mere seven states.
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 04:38 PM by longship
Look at these seven states in the House races, listing the number of really possible turnovers:

Connecticut: 3 seats
Florida: 3 seats
Indiana: 3 seats
Kentucky: 2 seats
Arizona: 2 seats
New York: 2 seats
Ohio: 3 seats
Total: 18 seats!!!

Now look at these other embattled states, with at least one seat:
Colorado
Iowa
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Carolina
Texas
Vermont
Wisconsin

Now, this is twenty-six seats alone which Dems can reasonably expect to gain.

What about the rest of the races? Sabato, Rothenberg, and Cook are all calling for upwards of forty House turnovers. No wonder. They are seeing that there are likely three times that many seats in play. *Fifty* more could be competitive tomorrow. The only question is how many more.

Work hard today and tomorrow. Then, we can see how much more we can take.
As Flounder would say, "This is going to be great!!!"
