Based on most predictions so far, the Democrats will probably pick up a significant number of seats in both houses of Congress this year, if not retake the majority in at least one of them. For instance, a recent FOX News Poll has found the following, per a MyDD post :

FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. Aug. 8-9, 2006. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.
"Thinking ahead to this November's elections, if the congressional election were held today, would you vote for the Democratic candidate in your district or the Republican candidate in your district?" [7/11-7/12 results in parenthesis]
Democrat: 48 (42) Republican: 30 (34) Unsure: 22 (25)

As corporate and union campaign contributions have historically followed the most likely winning candidates, I predict that a lot of Political Action Committees (PACs) will place their bets on a greater number of Democratic Party Congressional candidates this election season.
