November 6, 2006 -- THE latest polls portend disaster for the Republican Party tomorrow. The House appears to be gone; the Senate is teetering on the brink.
John Zogby's polling is tracking 15 swing House districts, and he finds Democratic leads in 13. Since Dems need only 15 to take control - and will doubtless pick up several not on Zogby's list - it seems we're in for several years of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In the Senate, only Tennessee seems to be holding for the Republicans. (There's no justice: Rep. Harold Ford Jr., the Democrat now losing to Republican Bob Corker, is the best of the crop of Democratic challengers).
Other Senate races? Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are gone for the GOP. Republican fantasies of a rebound in Montana are falling short. It's down to Missouri and Virginia: Democrats need to win both to take control. In these states, pollster Scott Rasmussen has GOP incumbents Jim Talent and George Allen below the 50 percent mark - usually a sign of doom. Rasmussen has Allen tied with Democrat Jim Webb at 49 percent and Democrat Claire McCaskill ahead of Talent 49-48.
Plus, the war in Iraq has divided the Republicans - the isolationist Pat Buchanans are abandoning an internationalist president.
First the Republicans lost their virtue; now they'll lose their majority, at least in the House. What's ahead for the next two years? Not new legislation so much as investigations, subpoenas, hearings etc. Washington will be as effectively paralyzed as it was during President Clinton's impeachment trial. And, let us remember that it was in that incubator that Osama bin Laden was able to plan the 9/11 attacks.
President Bush will be dodging document requests, defending his administration's integrity and battling each day's sensational headlines supposedly uncovering scandal after scandal.

Excellent! If there were ever any doubt, Dick Morris' prediction just convinced me that the GOP is going to have a good day tomorrow.
Dick Morris has been badly wrong in the last 4 election cycles.
But yesterday Dick said we were gonna win!
Cool Morris is always wrong.
This means we win, right?
Exactly - I worry when Morris says the GOP is going to win easily! This is GOOD "news!"
I Feel better knowing Dick Morris says the Republicans will lose. He is always wrong.
The man used to suck the toes of hookers in between giving advice to Clinton and people still take him seriously??
Yes, he is consistently wrong. The result is consistently the OPPOSITE of what he predicts, just ask President JF Kerry.
This from the genius who predicted: (1) Hillary would not run for senate from NY; and (2) after she threw her pants suit into the ring, that she would not win.
But but but last night dickie said just the opposite. BIG lard-ass covering move here toesucker! He predicted we win and lose... that way he is right!

Looks like Dick forgot to read the latewt polls!
"the isolationist Pat Buchanans are abandoning an internationalist president."
They have not voted for a Rrepublican since 1996!
LLS
Straight from the school of John Flip/Flop Kerry!
ROTFLOL!
I truly don't know about this one, but if recent history bears out, Repubs retain both houses.
Enough with these whore pundits. There guess is as good as ours. After they're proven wrong (God willing) on Wednesday they should just go away.
