There's probably no way congressional Republicans can lose this fall, no matter how unpopular President Bush is or how unhappy the voters are with the war in Iraq. That's the prevailing view in Washington today.
But it's wrong.
If history is any guide, we're heading into a major political storm. And that means we could see a national tide in November that will sweep the Democrats back into the majority.
Virtually every public opinion measure points to a Category 4 or 5 hurricane gathering...
But many analysts have noted the absence of strategic behavior on the part of the Democrats, who have failed to recruit good candidates and have allowed the Republicans to maintain a fundraising advantage...
Over the past year, the Cook Political Report has increased the number of Republican seats it considers highly vulnerable from two to 10, and those it considers somewhat vulnerable from 16 to 25. Eighteen others are potentially vulnerable. That's a total of 53 GOP seats at risk, double the number of a year ago. During the same period, the number of competitive Democratic seats declined from 14 to 10;, while the total number of Democratic seats at risk remained at 21...

You're delusional.
Well tell the republican leadership,i am in their party for now,we'll see about the future!!!!! Oh they are a bunch of chicken ^%$#s no backbone!!!!!!
zzzzzzzzzz
Thanks. I'm happy to be among FRiends!
And I think it is obvious that you don't understand.
I know they desperately want the Democrats to win, but that will only happen if Republicans get themselves into a snit like what happened in 1992, and decide NOT to vote. If so, the Repubs get just what they (but not the rest of us) deserve.
Remember, Bush and Big Oil destroyed the World Trade Center!!! Duh-yup-yup!!
Buh-bye!
Unlike YOU, I actually happen to KNOW whereof I speak.
Since you are digging in your heels, so, then post a detailed list about just WHAT the specifics are. I'll wait... and I'll also happily correct ALL of your mistakes! ;^)
I agree. But this time around the Dems don't have the benefit of a Ross Perot across the board.
And I bet you that he doesn't live in Conn.! LOL
My condolences (says the guy whose wife is there right now scouting out locations for a move) :-)
Didn't they say the same thing in 2002??
Where is your wife "looking"? Perhaps you want to buy MY house? My husband wants to move to Florida.
"Errr, ummm, no but you're a poopyhead!"
By the way, did you intentionally include Iraq in the overall war on terror, or was that a flustered mistake of an overmatched lib getting his/her butt kicked around for fun?
President Anyone?
The GOP is doing well,
The future looks bright and clear,
Theyre not so sure at the DNC
As 2008 draws near.
Hillary is breathing hard,
Edwards is getting a do.
Kerry wants to try it again,
And Clark is saying me too.
Dean is pumping out hatred,
Daschle has built up his shoes;
Gore is nervously watching
To see how Hillary moves.
Anything is possible
As far as politics go,
But the chance of this crowd winning 08
Hangs between zero and no.
Demos oppose the war in Iraq,
And tried very hard to mislead.
Now theyre beginning to self-destruct,
Like a Roadside IED.
What you have just proved, that YOU don't live here, probably don't live anywhere even remotely near here, and that you know absolutely NOTHING whatsoever at all about LIEberman, his primary rival ( whose name I doubt you know ), or anything about this entire "fight". You're just a pompous, bloviating jerk.
