WASHINGTON -- It may be too early to make any predictions about the 2008 elections, but it's likely the Republicans will win back a number of House seats they lost last year.

Indeed, as I noted in an earlier column, Democrats hold at least eight of the nine "most vulnerable" House seats, according to veteran congressional-elections analyst Stuart Rothenberg.

Obviously wayyyyyyyyyyyy too early to predict, but I think we have a solid chance.

I wouldn’t be overly surprised to see GOP house and prez and dem senate in 08.

Lambro’s a pretty smart guy. I met him sometime ago when he was writing for the “Washingtonian” Magazine.

I agree. I have an “independent” cousin who fell victim to the “GOP is corrupt” campaign by moveon.org etc. He forwarded me one of their hit lists of GOP politicians in trouble. Admittedly it was a large list, going back years, and included local politicians. I googled Democrat corruption and came up with a like list of Dems and emailed it to him.

It was too late. He had already voted absentee. Now I copy him on every Dem corruption and lie in the last 5 months. Needless to say he feels he was bamboozled by the left last October.

Well, if the republicans actually listen to their base and take a stand against the President on this amnesty crap, then they have more of a chance.

What, it's only a year and a half away! That's practically tomorrow!

I’d rather have the Senate than the House. Regardless of what happens in the presidential race next year, the Senate will get more liberal and therefore it’s going to be hard getting originalist judges on the SCOTUS.

Maybe you should pray for me. I may be in a disgruntled perverse space this morning . . .

but that title . . .

leaves me with . . . either a very amusing image (or a very perverse image by turns) in my excessively vivid imagination.

Umpteen dozen DIMRAT house members all mooning for the cameras at the same time . . . ?

Maybe I need coffee.

I thought perhaps Murtha was bending over to pick up a bribe.

obviously the best thing to see if the repubs take back the house is watching Pelousy eat crow.
Love to see the smirk kicked off her smug ugly ass keester.

If Republicans allow this amnesty bill to pass... those ‘cracks’ won’t mean squat.

I am glad that your cousin has an open, logical and empirical mind. Too many people vote Dem for completely illogical reasons, plain stupidity, or being bamboozled by the media and their teachers. (I will not deny that there are some Reps who fit that description, but I sense the numbers are much smaller).

First we have to see how the Amnesty legislation plays out. If the Senate passes it but the House votes it down or votes for more enforcement which the Senate will reject than it will be out of play as an '08 issue.

But if it's shoved down our throats thanks to Senate RINO complicity, and Pelosi can cobble together a version that can be passed the Conference Committee, then there's trouble.

Murtha was too late. Billy Jefferson had already swiped it and has it in his frig.
