You might want to read Sean Trende’s analysis of the Democrats’ chances of retaining control of the Senate in the midterm elections. After all the hemming and hawing, he basically comes down where I am: they’ll hold it but it will be close. Barring some cataclysm, it’s really pretty unlikely that the Democrats will pick up seats in the Senate. My guess is that the Democratic Powers-That-Be recognize that and it’s the reason behind all the mau-mauing about Ruth Bader Ginsburg that’s been gonig on lately.
