Mike's Election Guide (2008)
“Here are 12 Senate and 30 House Seats the Dems Can Win.While all the attention in the past year has been on the upcoming presidential election, little notice has been given to the House and Senate races for Congress. Every seat in the House and a third of the Senate seats are up for grabs in November. Republicans this year are stuck with having to defend a whopping 23 of the 35 seats that are up for election. The Democrats, if they don’t screw it up (a caveat that I know is already implied when... using the word “Democrats”), have a chance to take real control of the Senate (which now votes 51–49 in their favor, meaning that “independent” Joe Lieberman votes with them most of the time to give them a nominal majority).Whereas many of us hope that we don’t end up with four more years of a Republican in the White House, we also know the chances of that happening are clearly there. We also know that, should the Democrat win, he will be fought tooth and nail by the Republicans on every piece of legislation—and will need all the help he can get.The one way to guarantee that President Obama will have the Congress he needs in order to get his work done—and for the rest of us to have a filibuster-proof, and perhaps even a veto-proof, Congress should the Republican win—is to elect a Senate in November with at least 67 Democrats and a House with 290 Dems.MoreLess
