I call it 53 Senate seats - enough to blunt any possible jump by Lincoln Chafee. The House is a gain of 10-15 seats, though. Solid majorities, and we have an accelerated and permanent tax cut passed by the end of 2003.

How many will vote with the GOP? The Republicans may control the committes and that would be that. With Snowe,Chaffee, and Spector etc. the Democrats will still hold the Senate.
