James Carville predicts Democrats will have 55-45 majority in the Senate... [View all]

I don't profess to know what the man is smoking these days, but it's apparently quite good:

“So your prediction right now is Democrats will take both the House and the Senate at this stage?” Daily Beast political reporter Sarah Ewall-Wice asked Carville.

“With ease—not just ‘take,’” he responded. “I mean, I’m talking about eight Senate seats or something like that. But if you look at where we are at this moment, I don’t know how a person could honestly draw another conclusion… Right now, all of the evidence would have pointed to 55.”
