WNU Editor: I rarely watch "Meet The Press", but I did so this morning. There was no confidence of a Democrat blue-wave from the show. What I saw was the exact opposite. Doubt. Uncertainly.

People on these shows are paid an enormous amount of money to present their facts, analysis, and predictions. IMHO they failed today.
