Pitts: A Letter to the Democrats
6 NovA letter to the Democrats.
Congratulations. If the prognosticators are correct, you are about to win a victory that will shift the balance of power in one or both houses of Congress. Of course, if the prognosticators are incorrect, you will soon be committing hara-kiri. In which case my only advice would be: one hard thrust and then pull up.
But this letter proceeds from the assumption that the prognosticators are right. On that basis, I want to make a plea.

The percentage of likely voters who plan to vote for Democrats in Tuesday’s congressional elections increased in the past week, according to a CNN poll conducted during the weekend.
Those voters supporting Democrats also seem less likely to change their minds before casting ballots, the poll found.
Democrats hold a 20 percentage-point advantage — 58 percent to 38 percent — over Republicans among likely voters in the survey released Monday morning. The Democratic advantage was 11 percentage points — 53 percent to 42 percent — in a poll a week ago.
Pollsters asked people who identified themselves as being likely to vote which party’s candidate they would vote for in their congressional district if the election were being held today.
