Larry Sabato says outlook getting worse for Dems


He’s come out with his 60-day crystal ball. Here are a few highlights.

  • Senate: +8 or +9 for GOP, up from his previous +7. He wonders what Nelson and/or Lieberman might do if the GOP comes up just short of a majority.
  • House: +47 net for GOP. His wording is odd, saying they have a “good chance” to pick up “as many as” 47, but then says that he’s been conservative in these estimates.
  • Governors: +8 for GOP, up from +6. With redistricting on the horizon, this is a big deal.

He also notes that on the six occasions since WWII when the House has flipped, the Senate also did so unexpectedly.

This is a scary time

for our country right now. This November’s election could possibly the the most important one in recent history. IF we want to stop the move towards socialism this is the time to begin the process. We have to take the congress back and then keep it in 2012 along with taking the White House. Taking control of congress is important but we need a President that will work with us. I hope that Sabato’s numbers are wrong and we take 10 seats in the senate and 50 in the House.
