DRUDGE report rumor: Both parties see possibility of bigger Republican win

[Torie]

They don't read the LEIPS forum; otherwise, this would be old news. Sure, the GOP has "gained" 10-15 seats probably in the last fortnight, as polls roll in where independent expenditures have made a difference in second tier races.  Obama also helped the GOP with his campaigning - yes he did. He said a series of counterproductive things for his party.

There is no such thing as an "expert" on this election by the way. We are all flying rather blind really, when it comes to House races.

Both parties will be doing stuff that they will really loathe doing - and soon - revealing of course just how disingenuous they both are when it comes to campaign rhetoric. Ideology just doesn't get one very far, in the face of insolvency, with the 64,000 thousand dollar question (that term was actually in common currency when I was young believe it or not) being just when the moment would come based on what when markets start pushing up treasury rates based on a higher default and/or inflation risk, leading to a big jump in the cost of carry of our massive debt, leading to ... .

Some of them may never fly home again.

By the way, I suspect the Dems will abandon insurance mandates, before SCOTUS more likely than not does it for them. Obamacare will be revamped into a subsidized private insurance program. I found it interesting the Dem candidate for Insurance Commissioner in CA said they need to go on TV today in an interview, and he was basically a reflexive liberal on everything.
