Another sign that the Democrats will have trouble, even if they win the House (which they almost certainly will) is in this Michael Kinsley piece for The Guardian:
What will a Democratic House of Representatives be like? The Republicans have been painting a portrait of Democrats roasting children on a spit in the Capitol Rotunda. Hoping for a more encouraging view, I picked up A New Direction for America - a 31-page manifesto released by House Democrats in June. All I can say is, thank goodness I voted beforehand.
Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post has a neat media wrap-up of predictions, bits about events, and sample drafts of election outcome reports (not real though).
See also this post on other election outcome scenarios.
So far: the Republicans are ahead by three seats in the Senate races; the Democrats are ahead by eight in the House.
