MICHAEL DEMMONS thinks that Karl Rove is right about Republican prospects in November: “Rove is good at this kind of thing. I very much hope he’s wrong. But, if anything, I’m going out on a limb and saying that his skepticism of the nation polls is factoring into my predictions. I think it’s going to be extremely close. The race for the House will go either way. Rove is no idiot. If he says Republicans are going to win, you’d better take him seriously.”

Democrats had better hope that movie box offices aren’t a predictor . . . .
