Mid term bet The one thing that can be certain is that it will be a long night. I don't think I'm going to stay up till 4am but will stretch past midnight at least.

I think that the Democrats will regain the House but I can't see the numbers for regaining the Senate as much as I would like that to be the case. If the Dems can't regain the House they might as well pack up and go home, given we are in the second term of an unpopular presidency, fighting an unpopular war.

But politics has a pretty strong track record of turning up unusual votes. I was one of the very few non welsh people to watch the Welsh referendum on devolution and I thought it was lost until the very last declaration. So the moral of the story is kids it aint over til it's over capische.  ¶ 8:27 pm
