Uh, 20 seats is a little low for an average mid-term, not when the people are in a frenzy and will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls. If trends continue, losses will be closer to 40-50+.

It’s an off-year. Many fewer Democrats are up for election.

Yep. If Dems in the Senate try to ram this Health Bill through with reconcillation (the 50 vote option) and scorch the constitution in the process it will hurt the House even more.

This is assuming these Marxists even allow mid-term elections to proceed in 2010. I'm already predicting they'll have some 'crisis' to try and get in the way...at that point, we'll be down to our last option.

I've been predicting 50 seats for a month...based on macro trends.
