Respected pundit Larry Sabato: "In our years of publishing, we have never gazed into a stormier Crystal Ball"

Virginia political scientist, and renowned political pundit, Larry Sabato says the Republicans are in more trouble, well, than anyone in American history.

Five days out, let's rephrase the question this way: when's the last time a major political party has failed to capture a single House seat, Senate seat, or governorship of the opposing party in a federal election year?

We bet it's never happened before, and it certainly hasn't happened in the post-World War II era....

Yet look at our 2006 predictions: at this moment, the Crystal Ball cannot identify a single election for Senate, House or Governor in which a Republican is likely to succeed a Democrat in office. Just imagine how devastating an absolute shutout would be in the eyes of history if this proves to be true!

....If little changes between now and Tuesday, there remains little question that the GOP is headed towards devastating losses.
WAY more from Sabato here.
