<< If the democrats lose far fewer seats than is now expected>>

That's really the problem. No one seems to be able to agree on how many seats either side is "expected" to win or lose. However, I don't think that sort of message is needed. It should be apparent to all memebers of all branches of government that the current methodology is not exactly favorably viewed by the general public.

<<The remaining Starr info will be released this Friday. If there's nothing more than a rehash of all the "gate" accusations, the electorate will be even more disappointed with the investigation.>>

Absolutely true. I didn't realize Starr was ready to release the Travel/File/Whitewater information. Last I heard, the investigations were ongoing. Where did you see the release date info?

Ann:

The remaining Starr info will be released this Friday. If there's nothing more than a rehash of all the "gate" accusations, the electorate will be even more disappointed with the investigation.

You refer, of course, to the first of many investigations to be completed.

Don't forget: there are two more Starr grand juries still in session, and investigations into the remaining scandals (Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, Madison Guarantee, and Castle Grande) continue. The Jones/Lewinsky affair is the only one to have been judged as containing potentially impeachable crimes. So far, it's the only one to directly implicate the president on criminal counts of obstruction, perjury, abuse of power, and subornation of perjury.

Coming attractions may include sensitive technology transfer to Beijing, campaign finance violations, and selling political influence to the Indonesians and Chinese. The Attorney General is reviewing evidence of campaign finance violations now and will decide whether or not to appoint another Special Prosecutor.

Regardless of what the electorate says, we're a long way from the end of this.

Ann,

Lose far fewer?? How do you measure that one? I suspect the media is pumping up the spin to get people to believe the Republicans will route, just so they can claim victory for the President when they only lose a few seats.

I thought the idea was to win seats for your party as President and not limit the losses?
