EXPECTATIONS

I know that a lot of well informed people think that the Democrats can take back the House of Representatives in November but I have never been in that class. I am not 'well informed' and I am not optimistic.

Look at this:

For Democrats’ Hopes, Less Promise in New York

One of the incumbent GOoPers who is ahead points out that all House contests are local and many people fear the loss of government largesse with the change of a Rep.

I have thought this as well.

Not only that; incumbents have the built-in advantage of inertia.

They have name recognition.

They aim to please.

And they are not george bush who the Demos are making the issue in this election.

So, I am not optimisitic.

I already believe that the Senate will stay Republican.

But, I am always wrong and perhaps, for once, my unusual pessimism will be the basis for being wrong again in an optimistic way.
