Rep. Murtha predicts Democrats gaining 40-50 seats in November
Either President Bush will bow to public opinion or Democrats will have won control of the House of Representatives and increased pressure on the White House, Murtha, D-Pa., said in an Associated Press interview Thursday.

Most likely, there will be a "tidal wave" that propels Democrats into the majority, said Murtha. He predicts Democrats will gain 40-50 seats — well more than the 15 needed for the party to gain control.

4. Hmmm this is a bit optimistic for me. I fear such talk will enervate the
wack-o religious folk.

5. Sounds good to me!

2. Medicine. To remove a nerve or part of a nerve.

8. Used to make the same mistake. I would use "enervate" instead of...
innervate

in·ner·vate
tr.v. in·ner·vat·ed, in·ner·vat·ing, in·ner·vates
1. To supply (an organ or a body part) with nerves.
2. To stimulate (a nerve, muscle, or body part) to action.

I'm actually hopeful for some o' that thar enervation. I think Bush is sucking the will to carry on out of all but the most delusional Freeptards and CINOs. It's like a basball team: if they keep losing, the stands get empty. Only the most diehard fans show up.

It's all about Dem turnout. We turn out big, we win big (fingers crossed).
