What conventional wisdom?

Today's online American Spectator has a couple of atricles which challenge the conventional wisdom that tomorrow will be a cakewalk for Democrats.

Quin Hillyer writes a piece called, "Republicans Will Hold On".

When Congress convenes in January of 2007, Republicans will be elected both as Speaker of the House and as Senate Majority Leader.

The new Republican speaker, who will not be Dennis Hastert, will enjoy a margin of only one vote. But in the Senate, where Republicans currently control 55 of the 100 seats and where many pundits are now saying they teeter on the brink of losing their majority, the GOP instead will lose no more than two seats.

And Mr. Conventional Wisdom, who is the lackey of the mainstream media and the supposedly nonpartisan election "experts," again will have enough egg on his face to make omelets that feed multitudes.

And Patrick Basham pens a piece called, "Wednesday's Headline: GOP Keeps House Majority".

What could be more fun on election night than witnessing America's faux conservatives punished for their domestic overspending and foreign overreach? How about the Invisible Woman of the 2006 campaign, Nancy Pelosi, stranded on her liberal beachhead, her gaze fixed upon a Speaker's gavel that lies within her reach but beyond her grasp?

The latter image constitutes both the nightmare Democratic scenario and a Republican wet dream. It also illustrates my think tank's projection that Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives by the razor-slim margin of a single seat.

As before go read the rest for his reasons.
