Men don't cry

But many on this board will!!

'Our analysis -- based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance data -- suggests that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least nominally. We expect the Republican majority in the House to fall by eight seats, to 224 of the chamber's 435. At the very worst, our analysis suggests, the party's loss could be as large as 14 seats, leaving a one-seat majority. But that is still a far cry from the 20-seat loss some are predicting. In the Senate, with 100 seats, we see the GOP winding up with 52, down three.'

Two things.

Firstly can you please provide a link to the article that you seem to have quoted?

Secondly can you provide a framework for the discussion or what your point is?

I gave you a link. I guess the framework is Bush will be using his veto power more.

Sorry, but the link wasn't in your initial post as indicated by your edit where you then added the link. I must have read and replied to your post as soon as you wrote it so ignore question 1.

That estimate seems a little optimistic for the Republicans. The site I trust the most uses a blend of polls from different sources to calculate the "true" numbers. While not perfect, I find that this site tends to be reasonably accurate. It's also updated daily, which is nice.

Current Projected Senate:
50 Democrats, 50 Republicans

Current Projected House:
227 Democrats, 207 Republicans, 1 Tie

How did they do in their projections in 2000, 2002, and 2004? Curiosity.

Good deal. To vote Democrat is to look to Europe for our future. Not sure I want to end up in a PC society like that.
