The Washington Post did a story, they found the midterms are all about the popularity of the Pres, iirc near or over 50%, slight loss, under, drastic, something like that.
I wouldn't count on troop levels down unless moveon is willing to credit be-tray-us with winning (I think pigs will fly first). And the Dems would be foolish to bring up deficits in light of current actions.
You guys have a large majority, I doubt if it's threatened. Might not have 60 in the Senate though.
