Gibbs reverses House election prediction
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101017/ap_on_el_ge/us_white_house_election_prediction

President Barack Obama's spokesman caused a political stir this summer when he said Democrats could lose their majority in the House in November. Now he says he doesn't think that will happen.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that Democratic candidates have done, in his words, "a remarkably good job in a tough political environment."

And Gibbs says that it's his view that Democrats will retain control of both the House and the Senate.

1. When your opponent can't give any new ideas as to how to deal with the present situation
all they have is rehashing failed policies and without a lot of vote stealing I can't for the life of me see how the Dems can lose.

To say I'm not worried would be a lie but I don't feel we're going to lose control of either house. At the present time control doesn't really mean much unless the pukes have the majority no matter how slim.
