Mr. Morris was saying the exact opposite last week. He changes his mind every few days.
I hope he's wrong, but the Dems must be picking up at least a quarter million votes per year beacause of immigrants becoming naturalized and eligible to vote (legally). If the Dems don't get both houses this year they will in two years (along with the Presidency). And they won't have to give them back - ever (OK, at least not until the GOP is devoid of the last vesige of Conservative values). Demographics trump everything.
It's not even really Jorge's fault. The new voters of 2002 entered the pipeline years ago as legal immigrants or amnesty recipients. Blame his daddy, Reagan, and the GOP Congressfolk who failed for years to undo the ravages of the '65 Immigration Act, and who have even worsened the rot by approving "amnesties", "lotteries" and other such giveaways.
Morris laid the blame for his turnabout prediction directly upon Bush. He claims Bush has wimped out over Iraq and is now sounding like a Euro leftist who "wants Chirac's personal approval before he attacks Iraq." Holy cats!
