Robert Novak is full of crap. Tops the Democrats pick up 12. What Novak and all the other inside the Beltway types keep forgeting is the same thing they over looked in 1996. They are so busy counting up possible Rep loses they miss the 5 seats the US House Dems have at risk.
8 of those 12 seats are self inflicted wounds the Repbos leadership should of dumped the rubish holding them and looked for new blood.
You are so correct. I'm glad to see someone point that one out.
PA 10, TX 22, OH 18, (actually the whole Ohio slate could have been saved if WE had impeached Taft) are self-induced losses.
