Party labels in the US are rapidly becoming even more meaningless, a development I thought was impossible. There's every chance Crist could win the Dem primary and go on to win the seat without changing any of his positions, such as they are. From a governance POV: a disaster.

Been so busy with other stuff - life, reality, & all that - I haven't been paying attention to the ebbs and swells. Need to get busy getting informed. This election year is shaping up to be one massive Charlie Fox for both major parties.
Gonna lose some seats in the House. Feels like they lose about 20, leaving them with what would still be a pretty solid majority. And the 20 losers would mostly be Blue Dogs anyway.
That seems like a decent bet. And pretty normal, historically.
In the Senate it's much more mixed, because there are many seats in which the Dems have a good a shot at offsetting losses or even making a gain or two, when you take Ohio, Missouri, etc, into account.
In either case, I think you're heading into 2012 with both houses of Congress and probably better than even odds at gaining back much of what you lose and the presidency.
Not a guarantee or a prediction or anything really. But that's how it feels to me right now. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
