GOP House Likely? Significance of the House?

[quam]

I just read an article from Friday on Bloomberg, Republican House Likely in U.S. Election With Few Close Races. Apparently, pollsters believe there are 37 competitive races and the article explains the impact of Delay's redistricting plan in Texas: a gain of up to 6 seats.

Will a Kerry win help? Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington: ``Unless there was a groundswell of support for Kerry, which is not indicated in the polls, I don't see how the Democrats could sweep in,'' Wayne said.

What is your opinion? The GOP will likely keep the House and Kerry will have little impact? I am curious, if a new voter chooses Kerry, what is the likelihood of he/she voting for a Republican in the House?

Elections for the House may be more significant this year, considering the possibility of Kerry not receiving 270 electoral votes, requiring a vote of the House for President.

3. I doubt we will get the house, and the Senate is starting to look grim

However once Kerry wins, he can veto almost anything the GOP tries to pass provided he can rally the dems into preventing a 2/3 majority.

Of course with the whole Anti-Bush thing going, I wouldn't be suprised if the polls are off.
