I changed a few things around in the post so that the questions weren't directed at reporters.<br /><br />The one point I would make is that a reporter who doesn't at least mention the common historical result for this type of midterm election is doing a disservice to the reader.

Sure, the Republicans are likely to make large gains in the fall, but I think that is just as much a byproduct of Democrats malaise than Republican energy.<br /><br />So, having some time tonight, I decided to put together my own list of 6 questions I have about the midterm elections: <br /><br />www.gregthecollegestudent.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
