I am more hopeful then I was a few months back and especially encouraged by the record turnout, this is necessary to win.
I predict the the Dems will take House and Senate, why? Because anything less spells the end of the USA as we know it and I refuse to accept that the people will let this happen. If we leave the Senate in Rethug (I will stop calling them that when they stop breaking the law) hands, then they will claim victory and continue on. If however they lose both houses and the Dems actually grow a pair and learn how to govern and wield power we can start to put an end to the insanity.
If we as a country can not see what is going on and return Fascists to power in the House or Senate then my outlook for the country is actually quite pessimistic.
