The Republicans will likely continue with the fiscal conservatism message but tone down the social agenda and rhetoric and focus on individual initiative and responsibility. That's more representative of how the Republican governors have been winning and the Reform Party candidates. They still fight an uphill battle despite getting more votes in this election since the Democrats rigged the districts in 1990 to favor Democrats getting elected.

Mr Doe, don't underestimate the ability of the Democrats to shoot themselves in the foot. They try to please everyone but end up making all sides angry. My prediction is that we will have a big Republican win in 2000 but that the Democrats will regain control of Congress in 2002 as the Republicans continue to shoot each other.

Well, since we are all into predictions, let me try my hand at it. The Republican governors, a pragmatic lot, will get together and take over the leadership of the party from the more ideologically-inclined Republicans in the Congress. They will then win the Presidency in 2000 with someone like McCain or George, Jr. The Democrats, however, will win a majority in both the Senate and the House. Americans seem to prefer divided -- or gridlocked -- government, to giving one party a mandated opportunity to go off charging in all directions. jbe
