Could the GOP be imploding AGAIN? in 2008?

While it is quiet on the presidential front, the pot is really boiling in the House. And it is nearly entirely Republicans who are being cooked. Between scandals and retirements, many GOP House seats are going to be unexpectedly in play in 2008, greatly reducing the chances the Republicans can pick up the net 16 seats they need to wrest the gavel from Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The 2008 election could easily be a replay of 2006, with the Democrats picking up another 20+ seats. Here are some of the new developments:

2. Not even a dead cat bounce for the RePubes

3. I don't think we should be overly optimistic going into '08
the GOP will do all they can to win--especially in a presidential year--which means they will steal everything they can. The electoral college challenge in California is just the beginning.

4. I will be happy if we can pick 5 more seats in the House and 10 in the Senate!
