If this is any indication of Democrat prospects this election, the GOP is in for a bloodbath. I suspect six years of unrelenting negative propaganda from the MSM against Bush and the GOP Congress -- negative propaganda which has largely gone unanswered and unrebutted (if that's a word) -- is about to have it's effect this November. The only good news about a Democrat wipe-out of Republicans is that it comes this year, and hopefully will have the effect of a major slap in the face to feckless national Republicans, and will enable to party to regroup for 2008.
I take heart in the optimism of Ken Mellman. And Rove. They are not sitting idle. Lastly, the MSM has toned down the bloodbath stories. Methinks the worm has turned. Time will tell...
Sorry I don't agree. I think we will gain seats in both houses in 06. Also we must pass legislation requiring photo IDs to vote in federal elections. This as passed the house and is on th the Senate.
Don't base it on Oklahoma as we have some of the worst candidates ever. Henry hasn't done anything and runs as a conservative Dem even though he isn't. He made deals with the Republican House of Reps here all the time instead of the Dems.
Look for Hiett to close the gap and beat Askins.
Istook has been a horrible candidate since day one for a variety of reasons including Abramhoff.
GOP is going to do just fine here in OK in our Federal elections. It is the statewide races that are bad. Also look for us to take the OK Senate and keep the House because we have a lot of good candidates running there as well. If J.C. had run for Governor, it would be a whole different story and Henry would be toast.
As, I don't think you understand the particulars of OK politics......
