Democrats Face Uphill Fight in House Races news.excite.com Oct 20, 4:04 pm ET By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the election campaign entering its final two weeks, Democrats need a jolt of momentum to help them reclaim the House of Representatives from Republicans -- and so far they haven't found it.

I think he gets close to an election and gets desperate to have at least one talk show comment to point to and say, "I knew all along." In Vegas, it's called "touting", and people make a good living at it. I post him here when he makes sense, because he occasionally has penetrating insight. But he can't call votes, so he just calls for every side, in turn...
