I just love headlines like that, don't you?


VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Republicans are in danger of losing control of the U.S. House of Representatives on Nov. 7, their brief September hopes for a surge of momentum burst by a barrage of bad news.


Republicans are on the defensive over Iraq, the Mark Foley House page scandal and nationwide angst about the country's direction, according to reports from key House races and interviews with independent analysts in Washington and battleground districts.


Republicans still hope that the perks of power - money and district boundaries drawn to protect incumbents - will shield them. But less than a month before Election Day, the Democrats appear poised to take the House, and with it gain the strength to stymie President Bush's agenda and the subpoena power to make him spend his last two years in office defending his first six.


Two respected independent analysts predicted this week that the Democrats will pick up at least the 15 seats they need to seize the House for the first time since 1994.
