Not that the election is sewn up, but currently Nate Silver lists the most likely electoral map with Barack Obama once again breaking the 300 electoral college vote level. He also suggests the Senate will have at least 52 people who are, or caucus with, Democrats.

It's a pity that it looks like the House will remain in GOP hands.

I wish there was a good chance for the House to be competitive, but an obstructionist GOP that is noticed for its obstructionism still manages to get people who are tired of obstructionism to vote for them.

Everyone hates obstruction, but when the battle gets fierce, people would rather nothing happens than things happen in the direction they don't like.

Alas.

There's reason to be hopeful. The GOP won in 2010 by swinging far right and getting crazy and angry. I think they'll try it again, but this time, the economy will be recovering. *If* they pile on the crazy, I think they'll get crushed.

That might *finally* start bringing 'em back to sanity.
