The Republican Senators and Congressmen are getting a little nervous...
Up to this point, their man, Dubya, has been sitting pretty good in most of the polls. That was only good for them. They would benefit from Dubya's coattails. However, now it appears this race may take another turn - a turn for Kerry. There will be no coattails for them to ride. In fact, maybe there will be the opposite coattail effect. Bush may actually lose votes for them because many Republicans may decide to not vote for Bush. This should make them nervous. Because they don't have a lot of time to put distance between themselves and the loser at the top of the ticket. Some of them may very well go down with Dubya....

3. There's gonna be coattails all right
It's just a matter of whether the Republicans gerrymandering can hold off the voters sentiment.

4. And my heart bleeds peanut butter for these reTHUGS
and tuning up the ol' violin to accompany their sob stories.

5. From your mouth to God's ears.
THAT is how we could take back the House and/or the Senate.

With the Senate, we've got protection of the various nominees.

With the House, we've got protection of the various bills, AND the juice to go for possible prosecutions.

A win, either way.

BUT NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO GROW COMPLACENT!!!!!

THIS IS NOT WON YET!!!!!
