Democratic strategists are -- quietly -- growing more optimistic about their chances in the fall election, pointing to improving poll numbers in individual House races as well as an uptick in enthusiasm within the Democratic base nationally.
If the Democrats rally and somehow retain the Senate and the House (admittedly a long shot), pundits may date the turnaround to Christine O'Donnell's victory in the Republican primary in Delaware last month (above).
The tea party may have overreached with O'Donnell's candidacy. Independents could begin to focus on, and be turned off by, the more extreme elements of the movement.
