    There's a guess from a Demo for you. I would be very pleasantly surprised if we can pick up enough seats to take the House, but I don't see it happening.

    Regardless of who wins, the American public will lose again.
    The BIG BOLD font was for Sid's benefit since he keeps posting here and won't answer my question.

    I don't think the American public will "lose again" as you said. I think overall things have been better with the Republican in control of Congress. Sure, there are some things that happened that I don't like:

    HAVA (Help America Vote Act) - Nice idea but mostly lots of BS and cost
    No Child Left Behind - see above

    BUT, I think the good things outweigh the bad, Federal taxes sure have gone down on the average American. As I've been campaigning with candidates this year, TAXES are the #1 issue on people's mind here in Connecticut at the state level and they specify STATE, not Federal since they've seen the improvement with the Republicans in control.

    So while some people think we've "lost" in some areas, overall the American public has "won"

    I think the discussion between you and me on the three Connecticut Congressmen got picked up in another thread. Do you still think one of them will lose and if so which one?
