What's up?

Something is on the horizon, something important, and even historical. It's two weeks from today, in fact. But what?

Oh, yes, that's right: the November 2nd elections. The one where Real Clear Politics has the Republicans currently with 213 seats in the House, with only 218 needed for a majority. The same ranking which has 43 House seats as toss ups, but only two of those currently in the GOP. Who also has the Republicans up to 46 seats in the Senate, yet with all six Senate races which are toss ups are held by Democrats. This is before we even get to governorships or state legislatures, the ones who will decide reapportionment and perhaps cement a Republican Congress for a decade.

It's going to be a fun day for most of us. For the others, I'm sure that the bars will take any crying in your beer money. Taxed appropriately, of course.
