One of America's most respected pollsters, Scott Rasmuseen sees the GOP picking up 55 House seats in the November 2 election. That's 16 more than the 39 seats the Republicans need to gain control of the House.
If this happens, Republicans will not only have a relatively comfortable majority in the House but it's a safe bet that a couple of surviving House Democrats may also eventually find it in their best interests to switch parties and join the GOP. This has often been the pattern in the past. If it happens, the GOP would have even more of a cushion.
On the Senate side, Rasmussen says the split is now GOP 48, Democrats 47. He's listing the following five seats as ones that could go either way: California, Illinois, Washington, West Virginia, and Nevada. For the sake of argument, I'll give the Democrats California and Illinois. Right now, Nevada, West Virginia and Washington all seem to be leaning Republican. That would be enough to tip the balance. And if the GOP should pick up Illinois (Obama's old seat) or California (Boxer's seat) that would be gravy.
No so long ago most people gave the GOP little chance to regain the House and absolutely no chance to regain the Senate.
Well, those days are gone.
And a bright New Day may be just over the horizon.
Pray to heaven. And work like hell.
