Not only that but many House seats were decided on razor slim margins.
A lot can change in two years - but I'm hoping the GOP can get back some of these seats we lost in '08.
The bad news is that some of the seats we lost in the Northeast may never come back our way again. They may have permanently shifted away from us - just like a number of seats in the South have shifted our way.
My excellent Congresscritter, conservative Republican Michael Fitzpatrick, LOST by 1,200 votes. (He is strongly pro-life, squeaky clean, low tax proponent, mostly supported the Iraq war, and has a fabulous family)
And in a suburban district that has a 186,000 to 160,000 REPUBLICAN voter registration edge.
I am convinced that Republicans were demoralized over the lack of VISION of the Iraq war, in addition to the recent corruption (Cunningham, Rey and Foley), and the illegal immigration "amnesty" screw up on the part of the Bush White House.
Add to the mix the tripling of media bias in this cycle, and you have the perfect storm for a GOP defeat.
As Laura Ingraham said, Republicans should have hope considering the razor slim margins in most DemocRat victories.
Nothing but because of the self-serving punisher and cut-N-run "conservative" (???) voters to show their power to the GOP!
Thereby punishing the country severely for decades to come!!
How can they sleep at nights???
Hmmmm!!!
