the indicators of what they will be on the look out for, our amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter, and tamarar. hello to both of you. you can feel it, it is in the air. almost here, what we have been talking about for a long time. speaking of the cook political report, amy, your house forecast for the house of representatives suggest republicans are favored in 212 races. you need 218 to take control. explain what you are seeing. amy: we are seeing now is a challenge for democrats, the fact that they have the narrowest of majorities. they currently have a five seat majority. it is not quick to take much of a wave, a ripple among this electorate to give republicans the majority. they see a big wave that is about to crash to ship -- crash to shore. we are seeing maybe wavey, but maybe not a tsunami. where republicans pick up 15, maybe 30 seats, depending on a number of key factors. one, who comes out, that is always important. but critically, who comes out on election day. democrats feel good about their early voting in these key states. we know especially in these last couple of years where rep
