Your view is stinkin' thinkin'. Wouldn't you imagine that the Rats, if they get an opportunity to take over Congress and there was a recession or bad economic news, they would immediately blame it on the GOP control of 16 years (or whatever it has been)? And, their sycophant's in the MSM would just comply with what the Rats said. The end result would be blame on Bush.
That is how it looks. At least one Congressman, Don Young, looks good to keep his seat.
