Dem party chief sees party keeping House control

[book_worm]

WASHINGTON -- The Democratic Party chairman says his party's get-out-the-vote efforts will be critical in determining the outcome of who controls Congress after the election.

Tim Kaine says his party sees "strong trends" in early voting and at rallies that suggest the kind of higher turnout that usually favors Democrats.

Kaine tells ABC's "This Week" that he thinks Democrats will keep control of the House and that California Rep. Nancy Pelosi will remain as speaker.

1. People are getting out there and talking up the election.

Early voting is great, it can prompt a person to go ahead and vote instead of waiting and maybe staying home on Nov. 2nd. I'm offering co-workers rides to vote right after work in the mornings.

2. Well we shall see on Nov 2 but I hope he is right.

3. Hold it ! The MSM needs conflict not this shit! Let's lose the House so the cable "news" will have

something to raise viewership. Tweety can't survive in this go along get along meme.
To hell with what's good for the country we need conflict!

:sarcasm:

4. I think we just might squeak by and retain both houses of Congress.

Fingers crossed.

5. Kaine's right. GOTV is EVERYTHING in mid-terms. Please go phonebank, canvass, and vote.

6. All this shows is how much our newsmedia is lame. Of course, Kaine will say that, whether he thinks

it or not. How is that news? Same thing for Steele saying the GOP will win.

For the record, I think we will retain the House too.

7. Yep. What did they expect him to say?

I wish I could say I was as optimistic as you are regarding the House, though.

8. Karl Rove said the same thing in 2006... what is he gonna say? They'll lose?
