I really don't think that's true. What is true is that most polls have shown a Republican advantage for some time now. Which is NORMAL, because it's the midterms with an opposition President. A Democrat win would be ABNORMAL. To think that it might actually happen in the Senate should be mindboggling to all of you. In a nice way, or course, since most of us posting on DCUM are left-leaning. But still surprising.
