With polling in key districts seeming to indicate an almost certain shift to the Democrats in the House as well as gains in the Senate , the question the Dems have to be asking is: Does Karl have a Hail Mary pass play that can change the outcome? The talking heads on both sides of the political spectrum appear dubious that such a gambit is imminent. Maybe Karl will find a bug behind a picture in his office placed by the Dems or al Queda (same diff, right?). Oh no, that already happened once before in Texas (pity I'm too lazy to look for a link).
I note that very little has been said regarding apparently faulty polling in '04, '02 and '00 that seemed to underestimate the Republican turnout, although Karl said as much to someone at WaPo and to Freddie "Beatle: Barnes. On the other hand, wary pundits do keep referringto the superior turnout efforts of the RNC. That view was reinforced by the amazing resuscitation of the moribund campaign of Lincoln Chaffee in this summer's Republican primary in Rhode Island.
Political junkies like me just live for times like this, stay tuned.
