The question, analysts say, is whether the Republicans’ race-by-race strategy can overcome what is shaping up, so far, as a classic midterm election driven by national issues. “I don’t really care what the national climate is,” said Representative Tom Reynolds of New York, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “At the end of the day, House races are a choice between two people.” If this guy is right, the GOP will end up winning one more time.....mainly because they've had 14 years to gerrymander everything to their advantage. I'm afraid it ain't over until the fat lady sings. Here in WA state we have two close races.....Senate and Congressional. In both races, there are groups outside of the candidates who are fleshing out negative information about each of the candidates. Democrats will be pushing hard to remind voters of the big picture, and their frustrations with it. In southeastern Indiana, Baron Hill, a Democrat who is trying to reclaim the Congressional seat he lost two years ago to Representative Mike Sodrel, held an event at a gas station where he pumped fuel at a 2004 price, $1.80, rather than $2.79. See this is what I like about the Dems this time.......they are making their point without hitting people over their heads. They are using clever approaches like the above to get their message out.

Baron Hill, a Democrat who is trying to reclaim the Congressional seat he lost two years ago to Representative Mike Sodrel, held an event at a gas station where he pumped fuel at a 2004 price, $1.80, rather than $2.79. “People are angry,” Mr. Hill said. “They want to know why we’re paying $3 a gallon and Congress is giving tax breaks to oil companies.” The candidate for free beer will get my vote. Imagine the tax revenue lost from deductions for depreciation at Budweiser and Coors.
