Find Out What Carl Cameron Hasn't Done in a Hotel Room. Yet.

Good ol’ Campaign Carl Cameron, Fox News’s Senior Political Correspondent, was in West Virginia this morning, covering the battle to fill Democrat Alan Mollohan’s soon-to-be vacated Congressional seat.

“Alan Mollohan was the first incumbent to be knocked off,” Cameron said, noting that this election season’s anti-incumbent fervor began in West Virginia. The two guys vying for Mollohan’s job—Democrat Mike Oliverio and Republican David McKinley—are both pretty conservative, Cameron told Imus.

Then, as if reading the I-Man’s mind, he reported the race was currently a toss-up. “I was going to ask you who’s ahead,” Imus said. “So I could decide who to support.”

If the Republicans take back the House come November, as they expect to, Cameron said things could go one of two ways: they could win “a big wave” of up to 55 seats and really assert themselves, or take the bare minimum of 39 needed to ensure a majority.

“Even if the magic number of 39 gets hit, in a House of 435 that’s less than ten percent change,” Cameron, who has spent most of this year on the road covering primaries, said. “Most of the incumbents are still coming back.”

While a Republican House seems all but guaranteed, the Senate remains slightly out of reach; they’d need ten seats to take control, but getting all ten will take some luck. And Tea Party-backed Republican Christine O’Donnell beating the moderate Mike Castle in Delaware’s primary last week made that state’s Senate seat more of a question mark.

“The Tea Party Express proved that in a Republican primary, it could literally double the turnout estimates,” Cameron said, noting that double the amount of expected Republicans turned up to vote in Delaware.

As for whether the Tea Party can deliver in a general election, Cameron believes an upset by O’Donnell, who admittedly “dabbled” in witchcraft and hates masturbation, is a real possibility. “It’s a tough one for Republicans, but this is a year where there’s enough volatility that anything can freak people out and happen.” After all, the attitude this year is vehemently anti-establishment, and as Cameron put it, “She ain’t that.”

Sharron AngleAnother Democrat hoping to hold on in the Senate is Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is neck-and-neck with his challenger in Nevada, the Republican Sharron Angle, a Tea Party candidate who beat out two well-known Republicans in the primary.

Cameron said the same doubts being raised about O’Donnell were also initially raised about Angle, who “not only fought against the rhetoric against herself, but the money disadvantage.” Reid could be beaten, Camerson observed, though, “he has lots of favors, lots of IOUs, lots of friends” in the state, and he is counting on them in November.

As for Cameron, he’s merely hoping not to contract some sort of awful disease staying in fleabag motels as he follows these goofy candidates all over the country. So, it seems, is his crew.

“The guy who drives our satellite truck, who was with us just yesterday, he actually kept his socks on in the shower,” Cameron said. “It was that bad.”

Imus ascertained that nobody has resorted to peeing in a sink. At least not that Cameron was willing to blab about.
