Look for the GOP to retake the Senate and pick up 10+ seats in the House

Do you have any hard information, or is this wishful thinking? I am thinking the GOP loses the House and breaks even in the Senate - but that is based on my bright, sunny pessimism about whether the GOP can do anything right.

A cross between "wishful thinking" and a reasonable political analysis ( I hope)..the House is easier...the redistricting will result in at least a 10 seat pickup....the Senate should go GOP by +3, at least....most of the seats up are Dems..and the national Dem leadership is so far out of touch with the rest of the country...Cleland in GA, Johnson in SD, are two prime examples....they cannot run on the positions of the national party,,and don't forget, there's a good chance that as we role into the 2002 campaign, we;ll be engaged in a war somewhere.....and Bush will be out on the stump....with the 90%+ popularity rating...
