Like I said before, tort reform is a strawman... If that is what the Repubs pich as a poster issue then the number of seats that they *might* pickup will be lower... Poeple vote theier pocketbooks in tough times and tort reform won't put any substantial number of extra dollars in anyone's pocketbook...

As for the assumption that the Repubs are going to pick up all these seats??? I donno... They have some serious problems with moderates who are beginning to see that Rupert Murdock, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin are running the Republican Party and the Dems haven't so much as scratched the surface with the voters in connected those dots...
