Former Democratic National Party chairman Howard Dean predicted on Sunday that his party will retain a narrow majority in the House.
"I'd bet money on the Senate, for sure. The House is much tougher," Dean told CNN's "State of the Union."
"We're going to win in the House and we're going to have a majority. It will probably be reduced to ... perhaps as small as a five- or 10-seat majority," he said.
Last month, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said there was "no doubt" that it would be tough for Democrats to squeak by without losing power in the November midterm elections. His remarks reportedly irked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
But Dean painted a much rosier picture in a year in which the economy has been slow to recover and President Obama's popularity has plunged.
"We simply have better candidates," he boasted.
What’s he supposed to say? This is is job...even he doesn’t believe it.
Man, what has he been SMOKING?!
...leading RATS have to say this because no one is going to back a loser with cash.....
“I’d bet money on the Senate, for sure. The House is much tougher,”
How much money?
Rush played Dean’s famous “scream” freak-out recently.
It was still hilarious.
Dean’s been predicting doom for the Dems.
Somebody got to him.
He changed his tune.
It’s not his job anymore. Obama fired him back in January, 2009.
lol
There is zero chance the democrats will hold the house, the only thing in doubt is whether the Republicans can also take the Senate.
LLS
If Juan McCain can be re-elected, so can actual ‘rats.
Why are we concerned with what Howard The Duck says. It was a weird movie anyway.
I got something he can hold in November.
They will take the Senate. I am 100% sure.
he probably means the seat in VT
“There is zero chance the democrats will hold the house, the only thing in doubt is whether the Republicans can also take the Senate.”
I agree; I just don’t see the Dims keeping the House. And what would make it sweet would be the Dims end up a minority by 100 seats! As for the Senate, the Dims will lose a half dozen seats, but will retain a slight majority, especially if that fruit Crist wins and caucuses with the Dims (which he said he would do).
“They will take the Senate. I am 100% sure.”
It would be great if you are right.
