Just drink all the booze and have a ball

Remember that old Peggy Lee song, "Is that all there is?" Seems at least possible that after two years of campaigning, countless words, millions of dollars, and an unlimited amount of hand-wringing, everyone will wake up on November 8th and find out nothing's changed.

Electoral Vote Predictor now has the Republicans in control of the Senate 51-49.

OTOH, it has the House going to the Democrats 228-205-2. It gives the 6th to Wetterling, largely on the strength of the Star Tribune poll a few weeks ago. That may be right. It may be wrong, but I haven't found anybody willing to bet Friday's paycheck on it ... yet.

The author included some interesting analysis at the bottom of the page. Specifically, how a Dem victory in the Senate will make, presumably, Nancy Pelosi the Speaker and thus a test case for whether women can wield political power effectively - which may have an impact on the 2008 Presidential race.
