To answer your post-and this doesn't mean to give up and run to hide under your bed and not GOTV, it should give you encouragement to do what GOTV you can to lessen things,

The truth is that the democrats are headed for a wipeout on November 2nd that has never before been seen in American midterm history. The house of representatives is already lost. We're likely to lose around 68 seats there. In Gallup's poll released just today, we are down by 18 points among likely voters. 2010 is likely to be like Reagan 1984 for the GOP PV wise.

The senate is a pure 50/50 tossup at this point. Angle is ahead by just 0.3 points on average in Nevada. So there is hope for Reid there. If Harry can be a good closer, we can come from behind and win Nevada. If we win Nevada, we retain the senate. We could end up with anywhere between 49-54 seats in the senate if we win KY, IL, NV, WA and WV which we very well could.

A great night for us would be losing the house but keeping good control of the senate.

The senate and the governorships are moving our way or are at least not totally lost. The house is most likely gone, however, on a gargantuan scale. It should be noted that the house has never flipped in history if the senate didn't flip as well. Something more to worry about but this time could seriously be different.
