More of the “Wave” this morning from the NY Times:
” After a year of political turmoil, Republicans enter the fall campaign with their control of the House in serious jeopardy, the possibility of major losses in the Senate, and a national mood so unsettled that districts once considered safely Republican are now competitive, analysts and strategists in both parties say.”
Whatever the “numbers” which they really have to twist a little to get to work, elections are all about TURN OUT on election day. Frankly the GOP is out fundraising, out spending and doing a much better job of getting their vote out.
If this picture via the NYT’s story is any indication of the Democratic turnout, they’re in big trouble.
UPDATE: Larry Kudrow at National Review:
“As pessimistic as I have become about Republican chances to keep the House, there may yet be hope. Front-page stories yesterday in the Washington Post and today in the New York Times essentially predict significant GOP losses and a growing likelihood that the Dems will finally capture the lower chamber for the first time since 1994. The reason I‚Äôm starting to rethink my pessimism is simply that the mainstream media always gets it wrong. As soon as they start ganging up on the GOP on the front pages, the likelihood becomes greater that the tide may be turning the other way.”
Larry goes on to tout the “Greatest story never told”, which is the economy that is clicking on all twelve right now. In fact it smacks the hell out anything the Clinton administration “smoke and mirrors” economy ever had.

1I’m with Larry Kudlow. Evreytime that WAPO and the NYT make a prediction; they’re wrong.
Anyone remember 2004?
Two years ago this month; both of them had long serious dissertations about how much trouble President Bush would have in his reelection campaign.
Didn’t happen.
My prediction:
Republican House +10
Republican Senate +3

2We need five in the Senate or more to have a prayer of getting anything done. Wouldn’t it be sweet….
