We all know the Dums are the biggest spinmeisters since the pottery wheel. So what races will they spin after Nov 2 to show they "really" won the election?
Delaware? Barney Frank's seat? Barbara Boxer? Jerry Brown in CA?
You know it's coming. "Everyone predicted the GOP would win every single race and they didn't. So the GOP is a failure!"
The Senate. The GOP is almost certainly going to fail to take the Senate unless something incredible happens. I mean a truly epic twist of fate. The sheer scale of bluster and bravado the GOP talking heads have shown about the election means that at this point anything less than House and Senate control is a let down for the GOP.
Holding the Senate means the GOP has no chance to enact policy, meaning in 2012 they've got nothing to run on after being handed the House. In 2012, you'll be looking at the blame game, and dollars to donuts Obama does a better job pushing blame on the Republicans than the Republicans pushing blame onto Obama.
Personally, the DNC holding the Senate kinda ticks me off. Reid was a terrible majority leader and deserves to lose his job. The idea he'll probably keep it is just plain annoying.
