Novak: Dems Will Win 20 Seats In House, Four In Senate

Robert Novak's predition today is that Dems will win 20 seats in the House, and four in the Senate:

With hopes of the late comeback faded, the Republican strategy has changed from that of a quarterback on a fourth-quarter come-from-behind mission to that of an overwhelmed emergency medical technician performing triage on several dying patients. The only thought now is to minimize losses by plugging whatever holes can be plugged. Late decisions have to be made about who lives and who dies. The GOP has to decide where it can win, and it cannot afford to waste time or resources on those who cannot be saved. At this point, the best indication of how races are going is where the money is being spent.

If the election were held today, Democrats would gain control of the House of Representatives. Republicans -20, Democrats +20.

As for the Senate, Novak predicts four Dem pickups: The seats held by GOP incumbents Mike DeWine, Rick Santorum, Conrad Burns and Lincoln Chafee. Novak's full analysis here.

I love it. Nixon's Secret Plan is alive and well, brought to us by Conrad Burns,  through Kissinger, channelling from his old boss Tricky Dick.  

As I recall, more soldiers died during Nixon's 'Secret Plan' than did from LBJs involvement in the war. It doesn't bode well, for our current day soldiers, if Kissinger has once again developed a secret plan, but now for Bush.

 

Beware of the fanatics, they never see gray.

Didn't Novak publish the identity of a covert agent? Sometimes I forget and follow links to his columns.

Novak is nothing but the 'bend over man' for Rove and is responsible for the type of blossoms Rove produces. Rove sticks it in and Novak spews it out...he also told us about Plame and now he knows the election fix Rove has planned as well.
