A document provided to Washington Whispers from a House GOP official shows that they could lose a net 34 seats. That means the Democrats would have a 270-165 advantage in the 111th Congress. . . .
The tally shows several different ratings of 66 House Republicans in difficult races or open seats held by retiring Republicans. "Rating 1" finds 10 Republicans "likely gone." Those districts are New York 13, Alaska, Arizona 1, Virginia 11, New York 25, Illinois 11, Florida 24, Michigan 7, Nevada 3, and North Carolina 8. Under "Rating 2," nine Republican seats are listed as "leaning Democratic." Under "Rating 3," some 22 GOP seats are listed as "true toss-up." The fourth rating, "lean Republican," finds 15 seats in the category that comes with this warning: "If there's a wave, some could be in trouble."
A couple of weeks ago, a poll showed that only half of adults realized that Democrats are now in control of Congress. Nancy Pelosi is able to avoid blame by pointing the finger at Bush, a luxury she'll lose when Obama's president.

ReplyDeleteAw, c'mon: with an electorate this educated, I'm bettin' she can continue to blame Bush until at least the 2012 election with substantial belief.
Hell, Republicans are still trying to blame Bill Clinton for everything, except the stuff that Jimmy Carter or FDR implemented.
