A Bridge Too Far
Will the Democrats take the House and Senate in this mid-term election? That's the million dollar question. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Republicans are going to hold both houses of Congress. Republicans may not hold much of a majority but it will still be a majority and the Democrats are going to go ape when it does happen on November 7th.
One thing is for certain, this election cycle is either going to make or break Howard Dean, Democrat National Committee Chairman. If Democrats fail to take back even one side of the house then the Democrats will flush Dean down the toilet. Or so I think they will. I could be wrong on that prediction because Clinton was still considered a "great" president even after the debacle the Democrats suffered in the '94 mid-term election. But Howard Dean is not Bill Clinton.
The expectations are so high for a Democrat victory that even the slightist hint that Republicans may be victorious is brushed off by liberal politicos as the vestiges of an ignorant Republican elite unable to decypher the tea leaves come November. We even have Paul Begala from CNN claiming that the threats to the NFL stadiums just made today was supiciously Karl Rove-ian in nature. Uh-huh, I see. Well, Democrats do believe that GW Bush actually used his incredible mind powers to push those planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11 like some diabolical Republican "Magneto" and forever altered history. Or they think conservatives somehow used dynamite to bring down the WTC just to pass the Patriot Act and make all liberals afraid of going to the library for fear of being trailed by the G-Men. All this concocted before Al Gore accused GW of stealing the 2000 election.
Expect a Republican victory to be greeted by Democrats with hyperbole on November 8th the likes of which even Hitler or Stalin could be proud of. Cries of stolen elections and hanging chads will not be enough for the left: they will resort to the lowest forms of political intimidation to get their way. It is after all the way of the Left.
