Democrats Look Surprisingly Strong

If you have been following The Musical Patriot blog, you know the Democrats are strong this year.  I know this flies in the face of all the blather from Pundit World.  However, when you look at the overall picture, including governor's races, the picture does indeed look good for Democrats, certainly not the blow-out some among the pundit elite are still predicting.

Officially, Sam Wang has taught us to be careful about polls in mid-terms and I subscribe to this caution.  (See the Princeton Election Consortium web site).  And the gerry-mandering which has gone on regarding House seats is very disturbing.  (I'll have more on this in the future.)

Regarding those elected officials closest to the people the Democrats should have a net gain of one or two governorships.  I have not yet found any polling or analysis of state legislative races.  (I will look for some.)

Last night I was privileged to hear a live broadcast of President Obama in Pennsylvania campaigning for Tom Wolf,
the Democratic candidate for governor there.  Not only did the President say the right things, he said them in the right way, with oratorical skill, polish, and passion.  He talked movingly of the Party which fights for mothers, the elderly, and the everyday worker.  These are the kinds of politicians we need -- the Democrats, both small and large "d."
