Sorry Democrats, it seems that things have taken a turn for the worse over the last couple of weeks. I don't think the Democrats will be able to keep the Senate, the loss of seats in the House may be worse than expected and even the mighty Democratic gubernatorial wave is weakening.

At least you guys can take comfort in the fact that all of this will likely become a prelude to Clinton blaming most of the country's problems on the Republican Congress on her way to the White House (I won't - I don't want her anywhere near the Presidency but I digress...).

So yeah, I'd expect the worst and just be pleasantly surprised if things don't turn out as bad as they're looking right now.

Yeah it's getting pretty depressing. It looks like we'll lose a lot of races by very slim margins.

Yep.

I'm still going to have fun on election night. I haven't been able to care all that much about the actual results of these things in years anyway. I get most of my election night rush from the vote trickling in and trying to figure out who is going to win but not necessarilly the end result in itself (unless something really crazy/hilarious happens like McConell losing or whatever).

To be fair, you guys still have a lot of momentum down here in Florida. You might not get the Senate, but you can pick up a few governors mansions at least.

While Rick Scott losing will be cool, it's almost impossible to muster even the slightest bit of enthusiasm about another Republican taking his place.

Democrats won't gain any seats. Even if Orman knocks Roberts out in Kansas, he's still more likely to caucus with the majority (that is Republicans), so it would be basically a hold.

Nunn isn't a favorite (mostly because of the runoff factor) but she certainly has a chance.

Pessimist Eraserhead is always right!
