Take this with a gain of salt

I wonder if those .5 and .8 candidates are really short or just have low self esteem:

According to the National Journal's Congressional Insiders Poll, Democrats think their party will pick up an average of 16.5 seats in the House of Representatives and 5.8 seats in the Senate this fall.

Don't we need more for a filibuster-proof Senate?

By contrast, GOP insiders think the Democrats will gain an average of 6.6 seats in the House and 3.9 seats in the Senate.

Those pessimistic GOPers. They're always seeing the Houses half-empty.
