In the past few weeks we've been bombarded with the propaganda that the Dems will lose the House and we will have that scary creature Boehner as House Majority Leader.
Now we all know that we are being gamed to some degree by pollsters and the media but let's look at it from a different angle - one that Dems are used to using and that is from an under-dog position.
So follow me below for the game:
Imagine in this game that it's October 2010 and the House is currently in the Republican majority. And in make believe world there are tight races all OVER the map but there are enough TOSSUP races for THE DEMS TO TAKE OVER THE MAJORITY!!! How exciting!! Finally!!
Ok, now let's go from this imaginary game to reality. Guess what? Reality is better than the imaginary game!! We DO HAVE the majority and all we have to do is win 27 of the 42 district races that are Tossup.
And it get's better because this doesn't include some of the Lean Rep that haven't been polled in months and were primariy polled by Scott Rasmussen - Karl Rove's speaking buddy on November 14 on a cruise with National Review. But that's another story...
So, again look at the NY Times here http://elections.nytimes.com/...
to see the Toss-ups on the map. Again -- we ONLY need 27 of those 42 toss-ups. Serious?? Yes. Possible? Absolutely. This is why Dr. Howard Dean is predicting that we will keep the House. His would be the opinion that I would rely on more than anyone else right now.
I do want to acknowledge the person who gave me this idea for my diary - ProfAlan. Here is the link to ProfAlan's diary tonite on this same thing where he details the possibilities much better than me.

So let's figure out which 23 races we want to target for some SERIOUS GOTV these last 6 days. There's a lot to choose from!!
