GOP gains seats in each house.

I wouldn't go that far, but...

I can't help but recall 1998. Freepers spent weeks anticipating how many seats we would pick up, what with the deadly duo of mid-term losses, and Clinton scandals. The election day threads were full of reports of "long lines" at Republican leaning precincts. Then the actual vote totals began to be announced, at the party in the White House picked up seats in a midterm election for the first time since, what, 1938?

While we were "measuring the drapes" for our increased majority, the Democrat base was livid, and working their tails off, and the independents were so disgusted with politics that many of them did not vote at all.

It may be a mirage, but I see something like that happening this year. I don't think we will gain seats (feel free to jeer if we do), but the losses may be far less than than the media/Democrats, who are busy fine tuning articles of impeachment, are predicting.

That's been my position all along, too.
