Both U.S. parties agree: Democrats will win House but not Senate

[Behind the Aegis]

Both major American political parties expect the Democrats to take control of the House of Representatives in tomorrow's midterm elections.

A National Journal survey demonstrated this aptly. It showed the Republicans predicting that the Democrats would win 21 seats in the House, seven more than they would need to win a majority, while the Democrats predicted that they would get 23 seats.

Both parties also have similar expectations for the Senate, according to the poll. The Republicans predicted a Democratic gain of four seats and the Democrats predicted five seats. In both cases, the result would be the same: The Republicans would continue to control the Senate, but by a majority of only one or two seats.

If there is a surprise in the midterm elections, it will be in the Senate, should the Democrats do a little better than expected and win an extra seat or two. They need six seats altogether to take control of the Senate.

2. So they're not going to bother DieBolding

in the House, but they WILL screw with the Senate.

How curious that the VERY STATES we need to win are ALWAYS Neck and Neck.

At 53 this is a new experience to me, as most races unless someone ate a rat in public or their whore spoke up, stayed pretty much the same, there wasn't a huge RUSH of the Repig from behind at the last, two days before the election.

LIES.

Let's hope that DIEBOLD can't shoot as straight as the gang that can't shoot straight :)

3. SurveyUSA says otherwise

And they've been pretty reliable. I'm encouraged by the numbers I've seen for their polls today.

4. Let us hope they are correct!
