You talk about a tsunami, but how far a wave goes depends, you know, like how high the ground is, right?
And, you know, if the Senate map was evenly balanced,

You know, these are challenging states to win.

I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day.
Today, Congress avoided a pre-midterms shutdown.

I'm a favorite gambling websites.
I think Democrats odds in the Senate have gone up to exactly 51 percent when I checked this morning.
So, you know.
Mission accomplished.
