Posted by: Dale Franks on Tuesday, March 14, 2006 The chairman of The American Conservative Union, David Keene, writes in The Hill that this years' Congressional elections are starting to feel a lot like 1994. But this time, it's the Republicans who could lose their majority. The elements are all there. A series of Republican ethical scandals. Bad poll numbers. Declining presidential popularity. A base that is fracturing. One difference though, is that no one—except Michael Barone—predicted the Republican tidal wave that struck in 1994, with Republicans gaining 52 seats, and a subsequent decade in control of Congress. This time around, though, a lot of people with Rs after their names are increasingly worried, and openly speculating about losing control of the House. The interesting question is whether the Republican House leadership will—or can—do what is necessary to avert that outcome. |
