Amid widespread panic in the Republican establishment about the coming midterm elections, there are two people whose confidence about GOP prospects strikes even their closest allies as almost inexplicably upbeat: President Bush and his top political adviser, Karl Rove.
Some Republicans on Capitol Hill are bracing for losses of 25 House seats or more. But party operatives say Rove is predicting that, at worst, Republicans will lose only 8 to 10 seats -- shy of the 15-seat threshold that would cede control to Democrats for the first time since the 1994 elections and probably hobble the balance of Bush's second term.
In the Senate, Rove and associates believe, a Democratic victory would require the opposition to "run the table," as one official put it, to pick up the necessary six seats -- a prospect the White House seems to regard as nearly inconceivable.
I worry about a Dem take over but it's just my listening to the MSM and the thought of Speaker Pelosi! I prefer a big guy from Illinois to lead the house than a botoxed out skinny female from SF! I pray everyday we will keep the house and the senate. Our country and Troops need a Republican to fight the war! The Dems want to cut and run.Please don't let the Dems win. America will forever be changed. Our family values and our faith depend on a Red America. Not a Blue one.
