We've got to win all the "lean Dem", "tossup", and nearly half of the "lean Rep". That's a tall order.

At first, I was all worried when I looked at this map. But I looked on the Internet and saw that a super-majority is needed in the Senate and not the House in order to avoid a filibuster. Still, the Dems have a lot of work to do to regain a House majority.

We're bucking 7:1 odds on taking over the House, and almost 2:1 for keeping the Senate, per Intrade.
EVERYTHING has to go our way.
