Even if DeFazio jumps in, Dems are couting their chickens before they hatch
They do have an awfully large amount of eggs, though. 
That wasn't a mistake, you can use chicken in that analogy, your implying with that the Dems are counting wins before they come just like an egg might not become a chicken
You didn't understand what I meant. The statement that someone's counting his chickens before they hatch is saying that you don't know exactly what you'll get until the time comes. I was saying, however, that they have an awfully large amount of eggs in this case, implying that the chances are good that they're likely to get a lot of chickens even though no eggs have hatched yet (i.e., that their chances of winning this race if DeFazio runs appear pretty good).
