Senate 2010: More Shocks on the Way?
Sabato, Larry J.
The Center for Politics, Crystal Ball, January 21, 2010, online edition
"With [the] upset by Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts, the GOP gained more than just a 41st vote to disrupt the Obama agenda. As attention turns to the midterm elections in November, the Republican Party has strong momentum. A few months ago, even GOP leaders said that taking over the Senate was a pipe dream, and it is still not probable. But as some independents sour on the Democratic Party, the possibility for a GOP majority can no longer be dismissed out of hand. More likely, next year's Senate will still have a Democratic majority but be much more closely balanced between Democrats and Republicans."
Dr. Sabato is the Robert Kent Gooch Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia, and founder of the Center for Politics.
