I'd give my eye teeth (if I had any) to have the Republicans win a large majority in the Senate and House this election cycle and then add to that majority in 2004 while keeping the Whitehouse (meaning reelect Bush).

Once in my life I would like to see the GOP have the majorities Democrats once had:

103rd Congress
In session during 1993-1995

Senate
Republicans: 43
Democrats: 57

House
Republicans: 176
Democrats: 258
Independents: 1

95th Congress
In session during 1977-1979

Senate
Republicans: 38
Democrats: 61
Independents: 1

House
Republicans: 143
Democrats: 292

Democrats had more than a two to one majority in the House under Carter. Those are the numbers needed to get things accomplished. Our system is designed to be gummed up. The only way to ungum it is to kick out as many Democrats as we can. That done, we can fight among ourselves. I'll worry about which conservative faction wins once liberals are a harmless minority.
