Its starting to set in.  The GOP is facing facts--they are on the verge of getting the floor wiped with their own rear ends.  Novak:

Today we begin a new, seat-by-seat look at this year's competitive House races, based solely on how each would turn out if the election were held today. As promised, we take a look this week at Democrat-held seats in the U.S. House and Democrats' chances of a takeover, and compare them to the Republican-held seats they will be targeting.

Democrat-Held House Seats In Play
Likely Democratic Retention	Tossup		Likely Republican Takeover
	Leans Dem	Leans GOP
IL-17 (Open)	GA-8 (Marshall)	IL-8 (Bean)
LA-3 (Melancon)	GA-12 (Barrow)
OH-13 (Open)	IA-3 (Open)
TX-25 (Doggett)	OH-6 (Open)
	PA-12 (Murtha)
	SC-5 (Spratt)
	TX-17 (Edwards)
	VT-AL (Open)
	WV-1 (Mollohan)

The first word that comes to mind with this chart is "pitiful." Most striking is the small space it takes up on the page and the emptiness of the category to the right -- "Likely Republican Takeover" -- and the near emptiness of "Leans GOP." There is not one easy takeover target for the Republicans this year. Republicans have failed to expand the playing field on the Democrats' side.

He's not the only one who sees a bad November for the Republicans.  Check out this panicked and feeble attempt to boost morale by Hannity:

If you believe that these are consequential, transformative times, if you believe our borders need to be secure, if you believe that we need to cut taxes to keep the economy humming, if you think it's an absolute mistake and a disaster to pull out of Iraq too early, if you think we're gonna retreat in the war on terrorism, if you think we're gonna be less safe, less secure with a party that has a pre-9-11 mentality, then this is the time not to give up. This is the moment to say that there are things in life worth fighting and dying for and one of 'em is making sure Nancy Pelosi doesn't become the speaker. I mean, look. I want to talk to you Republicans out there, both candidates and voters. Here's some unsolicited advice: Ignore the polls, ignore the media, ignore the pundits. It's 70 days to go. The end is not here yet. We still can turn this thing around. Your future is in your hands, and it's up to you to go grab it. And don't believe people that say, "You can't do it." It's time to confront the left. It's time to strengthen your spine, take your campaign to these people, take your campaign against the media, bypass them if you need to. Now, if you want to win this election, all of you out there, and you don't want to whine that Nancy Pelosi's your speaker in 71 days, well, are you registered to vote?

Its panic time for the GOP.  Donate to the candidate of your choice.
