GOP "Death List" Predicts Democratic Blowout in the House

Voter displeasure with the war and economy, coupled with Sen. Barack Obama's popularity, has the House GOP running for cover.

Even though polls have shown that Americans don't like congressional Democrats any more, a new internal GOP tally of House races suggests a Democratic route that could keep the Republicans in the minority for decades. 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. In the Senate, Republicans expect to lose also but to keep up to 44 seats, ensuring their ability to stage a filibuster.

Meanwhile, most republicans I talk to are still proud of their two votes for George Dumbya Bush.

Did they actually want to destroy their own party?
 
No, this memo is fake and being leaked to reduce dem turnout.

The cook political report, which is the gold standard for predicting house and senate races, predicts a minimum of 20-25 seat pickups in the House for the Dems, and 7-9 senate seats.

We shall see. Voter suppression is always a problem.

True, dems are predicted to pick up seats, but a leaked repub memo saying repubs will be down dor *decades* is a clear attempt to knock dem turnout down, even if only by a half percentage.

They are not out for decades, this is ridiculous. Dems will pick up seats, and repubs are trying to keep it to a minimum.

If the next four years look anything like the carter years the repubs will be in in spades in 2012 maybe even 2010.

Oh, its true that the repubs being down for decades is hyperbole.

But, landslide election in congress only happen once every 20 or 30 years. The fact that there would be two, back to back, in 2006 and 2008 would be unprecedented. What are the odds, historically speaking, the the republicans could landslide back into power against a 70 or 80 seat democratic majority.

Slim to none, if history is a guide.
 
If this is a devious plant, that republican operative needs to get fired. This was sheer incompetence on his part.

Think about it, if you wanted to leak a memo to make democrats over confident, do you really want to leak it to some blog no one's ever heard of, on a mediocre news publication that has a relatively small circulation.

LOL - I would hope they'd be smart enough to lead it to NY Times or NBC news.
 
We might not know all the places it was leaked, be interesting to see if it takes a life of its own.
 
You guys are all coming from the standpoint that Bush actually cares about the republican party :lol:.

His administration was never about building the conservative ideology in this country... it was about making his rich friends wealthy and his wealthy friends disgusting.

GOP is fucked. I'm voting Dem for pres and senate, and I'm actually kind of right wing on a lot of issues, like guns, balanced budget, and bombing the living shit out of Pakistan. I just hate the GOP's big gov't candidates, including Mac and Bush, who expect to pay for everything in 2018.
 
Given the economy, the Republicans are down but not out, folks.

Obama become POTUS then what?

He's still got to deal with the mess he's been handed.
