As usual, you mislead. The truth is that the DemMafia ship is quickly taking on water...

"The Democrats have lost a little of their edge in the campaign races. If the November election for U.S. Congress were being held today, registered voters are dead even on whether they’d vote Republican or Democrat at 43 percent each... In the last poll in late September, 47 percent of all registered voters said they would vote for the Democrat and 40 percent said they would vote for the GOP candidate..."

As usual, you took that statement out of the context of the story. When placed into context (something Dems hate to do), your point is not too valid. I read that Dems held an advantage among likely voters, but that among registered voters, it was even. I can always hope that the President's 61% approval rating will provide long coat tails.

The real error, imbedded in the story, is the failure to note the margin of error. Even among likely voters, they are almost certainly in a dead heat......
