55%-37% Democrats over Republicans for Congress
This Week on ABC just showed a WaPo (I think) poll asking Americans who they want to see in charge of Congress one year from now.

6. Why should anyone run, when people of their own
party rip them apart. For the most part, I see just descent when a candidate preforms less than perfect. At least that's the way it is on this forum.

8. In Indiana I know we could win at least 3 congressional districts but
our State Democrat leaders will put up token candidates as usual and let the Repubs boast about their victories..

2. That's fine
until the Repubs fix the machines.

Sorry -- I've become very cynical lately.

7. Just Like Ideas
When shown a list of candidates positions side by side without the D or R next to it, most people end up liking the Democrat. But then if you ask them for whom are they voting...they say the Republican.

4. Very significant shift
Probably due to Harry Reid closing the senate to force discussion of Iraq.

Dem leaders MUST realize that the only way to gain support is by speaking out and taking action.
