Our English Cousins Dare Compare Predictions of Democrat Electoral Tsunami to the Fizzled Hurricane Season Predictions
Tom Baldwin of the London Times has a story on line about Democrat fears they peaked too soon--or something like that. First paragraph:
PUNDITS predict that the Republicans will be swept from power on Capitol Hill on November 7 by an elemental force of voter anger aimed at President Bush and Congress. Some are forecasting a “Democrat tsunami”, while Charlie Cook, the pre-eminent American election guru, talks of a “Category 5 hurricane”.
Last paragraph:
The hurricane season is coming to an end. Instead, families are preparing for Halloween tomorrow night. And the Democrats are spooked.

It's seldom good to say an election is all locked up or in the bag--one looks like such a fool if the other guy wins.
[My current predictions is 12 net House seats lost--3 net Senate seats lost for the Republicans. Bad, but not bad enough to change the leadership.]
