Again,<br>> so much for a Demo bias.<br>> <br>> The pollsters, all slammed by Faux News and the GOP, were right, and<br>> if anything, underestimated the Senate and Obama victories. Not much<br>> we can do about a gerrymandered House, but the Dems made some gains<br>> there, too. NBC is predicting a 5 seat gain for them.<br>> <br>> As the economy improves, I predict more gains in both House and Senate<br>> in 2014.
