2006 Watch: Predictions
Mike over at Down With Absolutes is saying things look bad for the GOP in 2006. I'm inclined to agree. First of all, the Republicans have become as stagnent a majority as the Democrats had in 1992-94. The 2006 elections are also midterms, in which the President's party traditionally loses seats (2002 was an anomoly).
Add to this mix Tom DeLay and Bush backlash, and you have a recipie for a Democratic House, were the DNC to find its Newt Gingrich. I don't see that happening, so I am predicting that the GOP will retain the majority, but not by much.
And I'd like to update my 2008 Early Field for Sunday, so if anyone has a case to make for either a Republican or Democrat, say so in the comments to this post!
UPDATE (10/7 @ 12:57PM): Since Haloscan seems to be down right now, feel free to IM your thoughts on the 2008 early field to me at JttRBlog on AIM.
