I'll be LOLing on Election Night when Dems pick up 6-8 Senate seats, possibly (but probably not) including this one.
The most we could pick up is likely two or three...and I am conservatively predicting only one net gain in the Senate in the Democrats' favor to guard against unwarranted optimism that -based on past experience- could only lead to crushing heart-breaking disappointment in the general election. I know because I was guilty of it myself in 2002 and 2004.
Still, I am pleasantly suprised by Jim Webb's unexpected strength against George Allen. He will not win, to be sure, but if it causes George Allen some heart-burn in his re-election campaign it's worth it enough for me to go out and vote.
