New prognostications show Republicans easily overtaking the House next week, but Democrats are dispatching their top figures for a last round of campaigning and injecting fresh cash into the races, in an attempt to stave off a blowout.
Republicans could easily pick up 50 seats on Nov. 2, far more than the 39 needed to win the majority, according to the Hill. The newspaper's 2010 midterm election poll surveyed 17,000 likely voters in 42 toss-up districts, and the results mirror those of other recent projections.

I like it, this sounds almost like Saigon is being retaken. I'd give good money to see Pelosi clinging to the exterior of the last helicopter out.
I would like it if the Seinfeld 'Soup Nazi' stood in front of the Air Force Plane she uses for her personal convenience...and then tells Pelosi No Plane for YOU!!!
That’s beautiful!
I remember those pictures.
Thanks, hopefully we are about to witness a great moment in history on Nov 2nd.
