Per Drudge. Www.electoral-vote.com thinks they will gain seats but Dems will keep control. That is where I am right now.

What he said exactly was that there have been "favorable developments" but it's "a toss-up". Should make for an interesting election!

Unless we get more Independents in those seats, it's a lose for all of us, no matter which party wins.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

SC IMHO has a strong point.......But electing Senators without a major party backing in highly improbable.......much better, elect Republicans that once in office act independently. Nate Silver is a very competent analytical that has effectively employed Bayesian approaches. He is no fluff ball.
