Democrats Face Uphill Fight in House Races news.excite.com Oct 20, 4:04 pm ET By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the election campaign entering its final two weeks, Democrats need a jolt of momentum to help them reclaim the House of Representatives from Republicans -- and so far they haven't found it. House Republicans are still favored to hold their six-vote margin of power over Democrats, who are hoping to shift the tide with a late-breaking wave of voter frustration over the economy or a strong get-out-the-vote effort. But analysts said the political landscape is heavily stacked for Republicans, with Democrats in desperate need of a near-sweep of the dozen or so races that are still too close to call. "The Democrats need a big burst of wind and it just doesn't seem to be out there," said Amy Walter, a House analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "They have to protect all of their seats and then go out and win some from Republicans." Democrats have been unable to cash in on what polls show is widespread anxiety about the economy and turn the national debate to their bread-and-butter issues of jobs, Social Security and health care.
