Dems Could Flip Enough Seats to Win Congress

Voters decide who runs Washington Tuesday night, and Republicans are fighting to hold both the Senate and the House. Democrats are hoping for a blue wave. I've run three hardware stores for thirty years, and in my experience a wave in the building means the water heater let go and nobody budgeted for it.

NBC has its chief data analyst on the numbers, and Kristen Welker is lined up to explain what to expect once the polls close. Good. Somebody should explain it. The people selling the most analysis are rarely the ones who had to make payroll on a Friday with the bank closed.

Nobody in that studio has ever counted a cash drawer at closing time and come up short. Somebody in Washington should try making payroll once.
