Chris Cillizza in the Washington Post today outlined the reality of at least seven House races that might switch from the Republicans to the Democrats in November, which would make it necessary for the GOP to win 46 seats, instead of the 39 minimum, to gain control of the chamber!
He outlines seats in California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania that are seen as likely to switch to the Democrats!
The point is that the disgust with incumbents, along with the effects of the Tea Party Movement, could lead to these seven, and other Republican seats in the House to switch in favor of
the Democrats!
So again, with the public opinion rating for Republicans running lower than the Democrats, it is not time yet to toast Speaker of the House John Boehner! 🙂
It does seem highly unlikely that they will win enough seats to take over the house. What democrats have to worry about is voter turnout. Since it is a midterm election many college students will not vote. Atleast Florida gives democrats something to vote for! The chance to keep Rick Scott (which seems to be running for his own greedy purposes), out of Tallahassee.
