With Foley's Resignation, our chances of retaking Congress have improved

[ck4829]

Foley's seat was considered safe.

Sabato predicted that we will gain 12 to 15 seats, I'd say that can be bumped up to 13 or possibly up to 16 seats at now.

1. I believe that if we Dems are going to take back the House,

we will take a net gain of at least 25 seats. If the people really want change, they will make sure that a big change occurs.

2. Too bad more of the guys can't be caught befoe Nov.

I'm sure there are plenty of them. And I'm sure they're all Repubs.

6. They May Replace Him, But I DOUBT It Will Stay Republican

1. It's way to late in the game for any new candidate to accomplish much of anything. 2. This type of scandal is WAAAY too damaging.
