Democrats could lose 20 House seats in 2010

Democrats have to be going into a panic at this point:

Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business, sent out a special update to Cook Political Report subscribers Thursday that should send shivers down Democratic spines.
Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.
“These data confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats. Today, The Cook Political Report’s Congressional election model, based on individual races, is pointing toward a net Democratic loss of between six and 12 seats, but our sense, factoring in macro-political dynamics is that this is far too low,” he wrote.

Let’s say that Democrats lost twenty seats in the House. Republicans caucus still wouldn’t break 200 seats. Kind of puts how far the GOP has fallen into perspective.

I don’t think any outside influences (economy, health care) are going to make a big difference in the 2010 elections. It is my belief the Progressives will move thru some medium (SEIU maybe)to alter our elections to keep their supporters in place.
November 2010 will be like Florida all over again when Gore was titty-babyin’ because he lost.
