<<WASHINGTON — No fewer than 65 House seats across the country — an overwhelming majority held by Democrats — are at risk of changing political hands this fall, enough to bolster Republican hopes of regaining power and stoke fears in President Barack Obama's party of losing it.

Even more races from California to New York could become competitive by November as voters look to blame someone for the sluggish economic recovery and take out their frustration on the Democrats who run the government. As of now, enough seats are in play that Republicans could gain the 39 they need to reclaim the House, dealing a blow to Obama in the first midterm elections of his presidency.>>

1. If Democrats go out and get out the vote, no problem. There are

more of us than them...

3. That's it in a nutshell.. we need to rally our troops.

The first two years haven't been perfect, but a return to Bush policies will be far, far, worse.

2. More Repub talking points than facts. Typical AP.

Thanks for the info.:hi:

4. The republicans RULE the senate now anyway why do they need

to take more seats. Democrats cave to republicans whenever they threaten anything so why should the GOP bother.

5. The AP has been hyping this "story" for a while now

It's almost as if someone there desperately wants it to happen, and is leading the cheerleading.

Not exactly a professional stance for a journalist.I had thought better of Tom Curley.

No doubt, when the Democrats retain a 20+ seat majority, they'll run an article about how "perilously close"
the Democrats came to losing that majority........

6. And others are now starting to see that the Republicans will gain nothing

What you are seeing is Republicans trying their best to create a self-fufilling-prophacy, and it won't work.

7. 60% Republicans intend to vote, 40% Democrats intend to vote

Can you say, 'disillusioned'?
