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.

Stupid polls. Let's just all wait till the votes are counted. We mailed in our absentee ballots yesterday.

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.

Yesterday's overlooked political comic strip, suitable for citizens all over the world!

It's nice to know that politicians are the same all over the world. I heard a quote that went "democracy is open to abuse from thoses who wish to exploit it for there own gain, morally corrupt, and is a pathetic form of govenment. We only put up with it because it's the best of a bad bunch!"

I'm a polling official here in Australia (it compulsary to vote here), so I get to see all the comments people write of the polling forms. I wish they would realize that the people they write about will never get to see it. It would save a lot of abuse.

Sounds like:

"Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time."
- Winston Churchill, 1947

Unless she's from a Democrat controlled state in which case they'll be tossed out without being counted.
