Strategy: How did we win seats in 1998?
That was at the height of impeachment. Things shouldn't have been going our way and yet we won. What strategies were used then that could be employed in 2006?

4. GOTV superiority and the economy at its peak
Also some backlash against the impeachment. I still remember Bill Kristol and other GOP heads projecting a 15-20 seat gain in the House, on Sunday talk shows the weekend before.
