Most of the polls and media commentary in the last few days have the Republicans trouncing the Democrats in the upcoming mid-term elections. Both houses of Congress, according to independent analysts, are in play.

While the situation looks dire for the Dems, all is not lost - at least according to Obama's chief campaign strategist David Plouffe.  

In this new video, Plouffe outlines the Democratic strategy to contain the GOP tsunami that looks like is going to wipe out the Democrats on November 2nd.

What do you think?  Is this like putting lipstick on the pig or do you believe that Plouffe's strategy, combined with record fundraising by the Democratic Party will result in a November surprise, i.e., the Democrats holding to their majorities in one or both houses?
