Mid Term Blowout: 50 or More

The Hill midterm election poll sets the bar to at least 50 for the House. Six days out, these are done.

“We didn’t even poll in about 15 districts that are already too far gone for Democrats,” said Mark Penn, whose firm, Penn Schoen Berland, conducted the poll. “So that, along with our entire series of polls, points to something in the range of a 50-seat gain for Republicans.”

Including my own former rep, Chet Edwards (TX-17), who frankly should have been bulletproof and invisible this time around. Not anymore. He's got Nancy Pelosi hanging around his neck like a decaying albatross, despite his vote against Obamacare.

This is now the "conservative estimate". I expect the polls to "wise up cause 'it's business' (i.e. 'our credibility')" this week.

Winston Wolf's great uncle Emmitt, a shipbuilder from Groton would caution us not to start scraping each other's barnicles just yet. I'd say it a little differently.

Leave nothing on the table.

Nothing.
