Historical perspectives aside...

If we want to really debate the "legacy" of past Presidents, let's break out the "Report Card" again and see what we think of our numbers there... I really liked the Report Cards, by the way. We did that right.

Let's talk about the magic number... 60. 60 seats in the Senate gives the Dems complete control of one half of Congress (basically). They now have 49. All they need is 11 seats... but there are 13 seats in play that are leaning Dem rather than GOP!

Places like MS, where former Governor Musgrove is LEADING the Lott-replacement (can't recall his name) BECAUSE no one can recall his name! Same is true in VA, where former Dem Governor Warner is leading. Of the 13 races I have been hearing about (VA, TX, OR, NC, NM, NH, MS, MN, KY, GA, CO, and AK)... only LA has the incumbent Dem down against a GOP rival. Even Al Franken is beating Norm Coleman in MN!

What is THAT going to do to Ryan's blood pressure?
