The only silver lining in the Dem recontrol of congress is that the right wing nutcase agenda of the GOP has scared away many that used to be republicans into the Dem camp. Example some Dems from out here, Ellen Tauscher is one (who I cant stand, because she voted for impeachment) however she is a Dem who is only a Dem I feel because in order for her to align herself with the republicans she would have to be a fundamentalist Christian. The republicans where SLAUGHTERED in California this November and I think 2000 will be worse - even some institutions like Tom Campbell better wise up and start talking to the electorate or else he will be out. The old tax and spend Tip O'Neill democrats really dont exist that much anymore... the Dems are now the moderate party thats the good news.

<< I predict the republicans will lose the house... by a landslide.>>

Don't you just love extremists!? The landslide was supposed to happen in '98 and it turned into a dribble. In turn we have bozos like Dippy quoting statistics such as "the first time that the majority in Congress lost seats in the sixth year of a presidency" like that really has some significance.

James, I personally wouldn't predict any big turnover in the House. Incumbents seem to be more entrenched than ever, I think there were 15-20 races all together in Nov. where incumbents got less that 52%, about evenly split across the aisle. Plus, Republicans always have more money.
