JUST A BLIP ON THE WAY TO VICTORY

Chuck Todd of National Journal's "Hotline" is on Hardball giving me some reasssurance about the weekend polls' blip in favor of Republicans. He says he went back and looked at historical data, and the weekend before the 1994 Gingrich revolution, the polls indicated that the Democrats had pulled even with Republicans and even moved ahead of them a point. Looking at the overall history of the polls and midterm elections, and with the current gap between Dems and the GOP in the generic poll, he said, there's almost no possibility that we won't regain control of the House.

From his lips to God's ears.
