Quote Unquote: Senate Democrats' Secret Weapon

Nate Silver — Master of Polls — explains why, according to his math, Democrats are likely to hold onto the Senate next week…

"The reason that Democrats are most likely to hold the Senate but not the House — the necessary and sufficient reason — is because only one-third of the Senate is up for re-election every two years. If the whole Senate were up for re-election next week, Democrats would lose it and lose it badly."

Too inspirational for words, really.
