Are the Elephants Charging?

Polls have indicated that the Democrats will do well in this year's congressional elections, continuing the trend they began in 2006, when they regained majorities in both houses of Congress at the mid-term elections.

Here is a blog post by a Washington Post writer, citing a Republican congressional leader arguing to the contrary. Now, someone in Congressman Blunt's position is going to be at least as optimistic as the circumstances call for, and some of those commenting on that post express a good degree of skepticism.

I'll have more to say between now and November regarding the congressional races, and I may even make some predictions of my own.
