HEWITT - I spoke to a senior GOP official this morning. Republicans will pick up six House seats in Texas alone, with a strong wind at their backs.

The official did not say, but I assume this momentum will replicate in all races to some extent. Just because it is solid red Texas does not mean that opinion trends are isolated there. The election is all about the war, and John Kerry is not a credible Commander-in-Chief and the Dems are not a credible war-fighting party anymore, and will not become one again until the Michael Moore's are run back out of the president's box at the Democratic National Convention.



So what will all those DNC mobilized lawyers be doing Wednesday as Bush rolls up a beyond challenge Electoral College margin? Sue for the Senate, of course. As I wrote Friday, Congressman Bob Beauprez's experience with a close race and provisional ballots in 2002 led to five weeks of lawsuits and a million dollars in legal costs. Daschle won't go gently into the night, nor will any other U.S. Senate candidate. There will be overtime in South Dakota's race if Thune wins by less than 1%, and perhaps in other states as well. As Jeffrey Tobin observed on CNN this morning, you don't ship thousands of lawyers all over the country and then expect them to do nothing. Even if it isn't close, the Dems will think of this as training for future election cycles.
