NYT: Republicans may hold on to Senate



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The New York Times says that the latest thinking is that the Republicans will hold on to the Senate. But the Times makes a very important point: It was only a short while back that the Republicans looked in serious trouble in the Senate. Thus, we need to take all of these doom and gloom polls with a grain of salt. They reflect, maybe, the situation TODAY, not the situation tomorrow or on election day. Remember that a day before the election Gore was behind Bush by several points when in fact he won the popular vote. We need to stop dispiriting ourselves over polls that simply do not reflect what is or is not feasible to achieve on election day.
