Ugh: what we might see in November
Brace for it: “It’s Nov. 8, the day after the election. The costliest and nastiest campaign for control of the House in history is …. not yet over.”
If on election night one party or the other has a two or three seat majority — don’t rule out the possibility! — we can expect litigation everywhere the vote was close. We can also expect the political headhunters to be out in force looking for party switchers.
I’m increasingly persuaded that no Democratic “wave” is coming, i.e. the Democrats won’t win thirty or forty or fifty Republican-held seats. But I’m also increasingly persuaded that the GOP will come perilously close to dropping the fifteen seats that will give Democrats control. It’s going to be tight!*
If I turn out to be wrong about this, I will quit prognosticating. I will have proven myself to be bad at it!
(*By the way, if you’re the political junkie that I am, tell your boss now that you need off on Wednesday, November 8. We’re going to be up late Tuesday night.)
