Yesterday Gallup found that Republicans are much more enthusiastic about the midterm elections. Patrick Ruffini counts chickens:
I might be setting myself for a healthy serving of crow on November 3rd, but I get a distinct feeling that the GOP may be headed toward to a seat gain in the House of epic proportions -- somewhere over 50 seats and well above the historical high point for recent wave elections (the 50-55 seats we experienced in elections like 1946 and 1994).
All in all, I don't think a 70 seat gain is out of the question.
Just begging for that Von Hoffmann Award are we, Patrick? So much can happen between now and then. This is a volatile electorate and a core part of the Democratic base - Hispanics - have just been put on notice by the GOP.
