[...] Last time around we introduced the uncompetitive races. There are 18 of those and they will produce a net gain of 1 seat for the GOP (the Dorgan retirement in North Dakota will be a cakewalk for GOP Governor John Hoeven). That leaves a very symmetrical 18 races in the competitive category. There is a lot of variance in this group, from just a bit competitive to too close to call.

Can I ask a serious question Ed? I've been a long admirer of the parliamentary election system for its shorter election processes due to calling an election instead of scheduled elections every 2 years.

To me it seems like our system is such that we really only have one year of actual legislating before the election season begins and politicians become consumed with going to dumb campaign events and giving the same speech over and over.

Thanks for the good post ed – keep it coming!

Are we sure Michael Steele is black? Lighten him up, add a toupee, and he's Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith show. And any fan of the show knows Floyd was into bondage.

Nice analysis but as you say the winds of change etc… did you factor this in?

Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, (Republican National Committee chairman Michael) Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent at Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex. ~ http://www.oliverwillis.com/
