House & Senate look good for Democrats in 2008

http://electoral-vote.com/

"So far we have five retirements in the Senate and 19 in the House, with more expected. All the Senate retirements are Republicans and 16 of the 19 House retirements are Republicans. These numbers mean that the Democrats have an extraordinary opportunity to pick up a few more Senate seats and perhaps another dozen or more House seats. It is not a coincidence that most of the retirements are Republicans. When a party is in the minority, with little hope of regaining the majority in the next election, many members of that party get discouraged and decide that politics is a lot less fun than when they had real power".

:woohoo: :woohoo:

1. The number of Republicans retiring is very damaging for them

They don't want to be around to take responsibility for the mess Bush has created after he's gone. My prediction is that the Democrats go to 244 in the house and 55 in the Senate, give or take a seat depending on the candidates.
