It is not the time to start popping the champagne corks, one race in Delaware that produces a questionable Republican candidate is not a harbinger of general election victory. It is not even clear that without a lot of hard work Coons will beat O'Donnel in November. Crowing about Sharon Angle was so loud that the possibility of a dead heat in Nevada was not even considered, guess what, that's where we are now. Ron Paul is leading in Kentucky and most polls are calling Senate races in Illinois, Wisconsin, California, Washington and Connecticut toss ups.
528.com is giving odds of 2 to 1 that Democrats will lose the House at this point. What is there to celebrate? Not that I necessarily believe that Nate Silver is worth the powder to blow him up, as he completely missed many of the results that brought about today's Republican schadenfreude; however, I still don't discount the polls generally and there is concern for the Democratic Party's prospects in November.
