The Dick Morris Show: The Technological Revolution, And The Mid-terms

The battle for the midterm elections is heating up, and I wanted to give you an overview of what's going on in the U.S. Senate races.

The House takes a while to clarify because there isn't great polling in each district.

And for the most part, the media really has not kicked in.

There's not much advertising going on in the House races yet.

That'll come in the next two weeks or so.

But in the Senate...

There is virtually no chance, or there is very little chance, that the Democrats take control.

The Democrats have to pick up four seats.

Republicans currently have 53 seats, which is a three-seat majority, and then in the event of a tie, Vice President Vance breaks it for the Republicans.

So they need a pickup of four seats to get the Senate.

There are six districts, six states, in which there are Republican seats.

Four of the six are retiring, and two of the six, Collins and Maine and...

I'm sorry, and there are two in which there are incumbents running for re-election, Collins in Maine and Sullivan in Alaska.

Right,

the real Sullivan.

Yeah, the real one.

There's a phony Dan Sullivan running.

The Democrats put a guy named Dan Sullivan on the ballot to try to take votes away from the real Dan Sullivan.

I think it was like the

messenger guy from McDonald's or something.

It was

something ridiculous.

So...

the Democrats have to pick up four seats in order to get control.

And at the moment, the Democrats have very narrow leads in eight of the nine key races.
