WASHINGTON: The congressional elections in the U.S. are just four days away and both the Democrats and the Republicans are making claims and counterclaims on who will have the majority and whose policies will decide the fate of the country.
Democrats are confident now they will have majority in one if not both the chambers of Congress. Republicans too do not show any signs of relenting though most observers feel they are trying to cover up indications that many of the incumbents are in trouble.
Democratic campaign officers claimed they feel optimistic to retake the House with at least a 15-seat majority and a six-seat gain in the Senate. This claim seems not a boast as strategists in the Republican side have said as many as 20 Republican-held seats could go either way in states stretching from Connecticut through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Republicans do not expect their Senators Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania and Mike DeWine in Ohio to win. They are also admitting secretly at least six or more seats are in jeopardy.
However, president Bush is very confident. He says there is no threat of a debacle for the party. At a recent campaign meeting he said the party has been through this before and it will win the Senate and the House.

I gave away my ticket to see W. this morning. An employee just got back from the rally in Springfield. Very exciting.
SW MO, as usual, will carry the day for the Republicans in MO. If we get out, they win.
Ann Compton is an idiot, btw.
Someone should photoshop that pic to include Rove on a surfboard!..........
Might I suggest "Bush hacked the new voting machines"?????!!!!
Don't forget the recent terrorist endorsment of the Democrat Party. Rove also planned Saddam's guilty verdict to coincide with the election, too. Rove's weather machine can also cause Kerry to make idiotic jokes, cause terrorists to endorse the Dems, and cause Jimmah ibn Qarter to make pro-Pali statements just before the election.
The "wave" is a fabrication which has been created to create an illusion of popular dissatisfaction with the Republicans. They wait until the last minute to see if their manipulation has worked then when they realize it hasn't, they then start gathering and releasing more accurate numbers. They do this to maintain credibility.
A post from the same DUmmie thread:
"I fear will be that "somehow" the GOP maintain control of both Houses. The pundits will argue whether it was Rove's genius or Kerry's gaffe that saved the republicans. The storyline will be the tracking polls got it wrong again. Meanwhile buried on page six of the newspapers will be stories of voting irregularities."
He, he.
That's depressing. And hopefully wrong. We HAVE to keep the House, our only conservative body.
