Right now I have us losing 7 seats in the House,we could easily get to 14(and minority status)if we do not get some fiscal discipline.For example Delay got 55%in 04,06 will be a down year,if a Blue DOG DemocrAT runs,Delay could be in serious trouble.

What 7 seats do you think we will lose? I see us picking up a Senate Seat here. Other then that we will not lose or gain here. MN is at the balance point. Half secure Dem seats, half secure Repb seats. I do not see the Dems picking up anything anywhere. You actually have to run on an agenda. They have none. The leadership wants to run Republican Lite candidates, Dem base is mad because they feel the Dem leadership is "not taking on Bush enough". Basically the civil war in the Republican party is mirrored with the Civil war in the Dems party. I suspect any "Conventional wisdom" being made 14 months before the election is just so much hot air. Conisdering how much is likely to happen. I suspect we WILL have some immigration legislation between now and then. I suspect Gas Prices will have sunk back down to a faily stable $2.20 point. All this rollercoast ride in oil is bringin a lot of new production on line, that is going to help stabelize the market. I don't see the Dems making any effort to appeal to Red State Voters. So which 7 seats do you see us losing?

You are entirely too negative. Do you have anything positive to say, if so lets hear it. we have more than a year before midterms and you may not think the GOP can even twiddle their thumbs, but you forget we are the party in Power for a reason. If you think we cannot do anything,or win anything speak for yourself, with your attitude you cannot win. Lets be realistic, you cannot win with your head down, you must lift your head up to win.
