Dolinar, In the November election, on the federal level all 435 Representatives are voted on, about 40 races are competitive, the balance are locked up for the incumbents. The GHP currently has a 6 vote advantage over the Democrats. It's possible that the Dems could take the House by a slim majority. In the Senate, 34 seats are being contested (1/3 of all seats every two years, six year terms). Of these probably 6-8 races are competitive. I'm predicting that the Democrats will increase their majority to about 54-46 in the Senate. Based on how the wind is blowing, and not much else. <g> The majorities won't be great enough, IMO, to insure an impeachment. But it sure would be nice. :) PEACE NOW! Ray

Hi DJ, We almost had a war, but it was called off. Anna Kournikova almost won her first singles tournament, but lost in the last round. So everything is back to normal now. My best guess is that the voters will keep a slight Democratic majority as a hedge against giving Bush too much power. Bush has probably clinched his re-election in 2004 by standing up to Saddam and capturing a bunch of terrorists. BWDIK? Anna could surprise us and actually win a tournament some day. <g>

What happens on 5th November? Where I live, that is Guy Fawkes night - bonfire and fireworks. (Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London but was caught before he managed to carry out the plot.)
