1. Lots of work left to be done.
I think if we get that work done, there's no reason we can't swing both chambers of Congress our way.

Hash, hookers and heroin.

12. No heroin in Amsterdam.
At least that's what the cannabis community told me when I went a few years ago. They want to keep organized crime out.

4. They will cheat again
I think we will actually win both houses, but be cheated out of these victories through the usual election fraud tactics.

The question is, what will we be able to do about it?

My other fear is an "October Surprise" that results in a declaration of martial law.

5. Will you be voting?
It seems to be your view that we can't win no matter what. Why vote?

7. Of course I will vote
At least in Maryland, I can hope to see some halfway decent Democrats elected. O'Malley, Van Hollen, and MoCo County Councilman Phil Andrews. And Ben Cardin if he wins the nomination for Senate.

I'd like to be optimistic and hope for significant election gains, but the rethug dirty tricks machine is remorseless and relentless.

My hope is that if we get cheated again, maybe enough Americans will get off their tv-addicted asses and finally do something about election fraud.

10. I believe we'll take back the House, but not the Senate...
we'll gain 3 or 4 seats there, but not enough to take it back.

11. Good shot of winning the House...
I think the Senate stays put though.
