MAGAZINE SHOCK: REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD CONGRESS

BARRON'S COVER Survivor!
The GOP Victory

By JIM MCTAGUE

JUBILANT DEMOCRATS SHOULD RECONSIDER their order for confetti and
noisemakers, BARRON's claims in their next edition. The Democrats, as widely
reported, are expecting GOP-weary voters to flock to the polls in two weeks
and hand them control of the House for the first time in 12 years -- and
perhaps the Senate, as well. Even some Republicans privately confess that
they are anticipating the election-day equivalent of Little Big Horn. Pardon
our hubris, but we just don't see it.

Our analysis -- based on a race-by-race examination of campaign-finance
data -- suggests that the GOP will hang on to both chambers, at least
nominally. We expect the Republican majority in the House to fall by eight
seats, to 224 of the chamber's 435. At the very worst, our analysis
suggests, the party's loss could be as large as 14 seats, leaving a one-seat
majority. But that is still a far cry from the 20-seat loss some are
predicting. In the Senate, with 100 seats, we see the GOP winding up with
52, down three.

After you rig the ballots, anything is possible.

Umm.. how about this... is ABC a pawn of the left?

In an interview with ABC's "This Week," George W. Bush suggested that he
wasn't particularly concerned about the November elections. "I remember
2004," the president said. "I was history as far as the punditry was
concerned." We're sure it's just a coincidence, but Bush's comments aired on
ABC on Sunday, the same day the network published a story titled "Electronic
Voting Machines Could Skew Elections."

Based on their recent performances, we can rest assured that the Dems will
claim the voting was rigged in any and all districts where the results are
remotely close, at least unless the machinery is in the hands of their own
party, when such a claim might be embarrassing. (In those cases they'll no
doubt claim the machines where secretly hacked by unidentified outsiders.)

Remember the story of the little boy who cried Wolf too often?

And, they seem to be running with the right-wingnuts... eg., ABC's
"documentary" about 9/11.

Jon, you should know better than to ask that question.

ABC, CBS, NBC--they all live in the same small area of a small island, go
to
the same cocktail parties, and talk to the same people.

I thought they had a left-wing agenda???? Which is it?

And they are all brutally competitive. Anyone who suggests that the
major media are in any sort of "cahoots" is more than slightly
delusional.

Straw man, Charlie. I don't think anyone has suggested they're in
"cahoots."
That's very different from saying they have essentially the same biases
and
outlooks.

Good News
 

Clearly.

I fail to see the distinction you're drawing.
