Paul Gigot's reasoning why Repubs will add to majority this fall: That's the ironic backdrop in a battle for Congress that is so far a pudding without a national theme. The biggest issue could yet be the president himself. That prospect helps explain why Democrats are now scrambling to change the subject, while Republicans are more confident than any time in months that they'll add to their majorities. This shouldn't be happening to a president with 60% approval ratings. But in a low-turnout election, intensity matters as much as sheer numbers. And right now the voters who loathe Mr. Clinton are more motivated than those who like him. "I'm worried that all of the right-wing Republicans who hate the president are fired up to vote, and everybody else is happy," laments Democratic Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia. That's what happened when the GOP won a recent special House election in New Mexico. And the trend is showing up in private Republican polling. Only 40% of voters who approve of the president say they're inclined to vote this fall, while 55% of those who disapprove plan to show up. Anger usually motivates better than contentment. I'm angry. I'm voting.
