Your suggestion about the Democrats taking control of either the House or the Senate is foolish. If you've been following the Texas redistricting flap, you know that was about the Republicans gaining another five Congressmen from that state alone, by making the boundaries of the districts reflect by results the voting preferences of Texas citizens.
If you have been following the resignations of Southern Democratic Senators, including Zell Miller, you know that the Republicans stand to pick up four or five Senators -- even if Thune decides to retake his House seat and doesn't hand Li'l Tommy Dashcle his well-deserved and final defeat.
In short, the Democrats have zero chance to take control of either House of Congress, based on hard-headed analysis of the facts on the ground. I'd be curious to see why you think otherwise.
Especially, why do you think the "real strategy" is to retake the House and Senate at the same time that the Democrats' presidential nominee is going down the toilet? It's sort of like throwing a drowning man an anchor rather than a life buoy, don't you think?

I certainly have been paying attention but I also know that counting your chickens before they hatch is stupid. Take a lesson from the tortoise and the hare. The hare thought he was a sure winner but he lost.
I’m making the point that it’s time to be vigilant and this is no time to take anything for granted. We still have to work HARD to make sure the dems don’t win anything. Anything can happen between now and the election and with the dirty tricks and the lies the dems will throw out there, now is not the time to be smug.
