With the way that the present Democratically controlled Congress continues to behave along with their poll numbers continuing to be even lower than President Bush’s poll numbers, how can there truly be very few chances for possible GOP pickups in ‘08 and beyond no matter what political offices are being discussed? “Capitalism-Not Socialism” is what truly needs to be frequently said. The U.S. as we presently know it to be as a country will truly disappear with the Democrats in control of almost everything from January ‘09 on.
The GOP had a very good year in 2002, so we are defending a lot more seats.
Of the seats Dems are defending, most are in solidly blue states or are otherwise safe for the Dems. Good news is we only need a net pickup of two seats (one if we win the White House.)
Bottom line is that the GOP needs tob work to defeat Baucus.
