Democratic Seats Secure, Republicans at Risk

==The latest strategy memo from James Carville and Stan Greenberg touts a recent poll in the 70 most competitive Congressional districts which shows the Democrats "in a strong position to hold their gains from 2006 and move far into Republican territory in 2008."

"Indeed, Democrats hold an 18-point electoral advantage in their own districts while Republicans are losing their districts by 5 points overall -- 7 points in their most vulnerable districts, 51 to 44 percent."

Key finding: "Republican incumbents are paying a big price for the deep discontent in the country and for aligning with the President who is no more popular in the Republican districts than in the Democratic ones."==

1. The discontent is broad, deep, and real. Now we see disaster

on the homefront from one end of the Mississippi (Katrina) to the other (Minneapolis-St. Paul.) And common sense tells people that the billions (with a b) spent on the Iraq debacle could be better spent fixing our own infrastructure.

The Democratic Party will sweep the board in 2008 IF the voters are convinced that our Party is serious about ending this miserable war and attending to our needs at home - our many, many needs. At least , we need to fix our bridges before we decide to police the rest of the world.

2. Remember Bush said

The Federal government is not responsible for fixing bridges but they will help with this one. After all there is a Republican convention coming up on Minneapolis next year. The only thing Bush is responsible for is himself. So don't expect him to help with the other crumbling bridges.
