RNC concedes some losses coming

Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, conceded today that Republicans could lose several seats in the House and Senate this fall but maintained that the "tsunami'' that some are predicting with a Democratic takeover of either the House or Senate will not materialize.

Mehlman declined to offer numbers, but then, when asked if a scenario involving a loss of three Republican Senate seats and 12 Republican House seats is feasible, the chairman replied: "I would say those are not outrageous numbers.'' The Democrats must capture six Senate seats or 15 House seats in November to gain control of either chamber – suggesting just how precarious the House balance is.

...

Mehlman, in an email to supporters this morning, warned that more than "just the House, the Senate and 36 governorships'' are at stake year.

"It's whether the president's efforts to keep Americans safe will grind to a halt with Democrats in control of funding every aspect of the war on terror,'' the chairman's email warned voters. "Whether Democrats will be allowed to carry out their threat to raise your taxes by $2.4 trillion… Whether Democrats will get their wish of investigating – and maybe even impeaching – our president.''

2. "Nothing to see. Everything is fine...

Keep going about your buisness. Water? What water? Oh, that. That's just your imagination. We're fine. I mean, we may have sprung a few leaks but that's nothing to worry about, just glub glub glub..."
