REPUBLICANS WILL KEEP CONTROL OF CONGRESS?

Western Mainstream Media news source, Barron's, is apparently reporting that if you look at each individual race that is being voted on in November, you'll see that Republicans are still on top in each election. This is what DrudgeReport.Com is [http://drudgereport.com/flash7.htm|saying Barron's is saying], anyway. Here's a clip:

Our analysis -- based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance data -- suggests that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least nominally. We expect the Republican majority in the House to fall by eight seats, to 224 of the chamber's 435. At the very worst, our analysis suggests, the party's loss could be as large as 14 seats, leaving a one-seat majority. But that is still a far cry from the 20-seat loss some are predicting. In the Senate, with 100 seats, we see the GOP winding up with 52, down three.

Hm, seems that Barron's is only basing their conclusions on the money each candidate has spent on their campaign. Don't you love it when Drudge and the mainstream media choose to mischaracterize their findings? Lovely. So, because a Republican spends more than a Democrat there's NO WAY the Democrat can win? One thing that worries me about this story and the attitude coming out of the White House (that they'll hold onto control) is that this could be them preparing us to accept a fixed election. See, if the ballot boxes are fixed, like I'm concerned they are, and they go on and on about how the Republicans actually have a good chance of pulling it out, when they "win" we'll be like "oh well! The pundits were right!" When really, we were scammed again. As far as I'm concerned, no matter what anyone says, if the Republicans hold onto control in either house I'm going to assume that the fix was in--end of story.
