Bush, Pelosi spend final days stumping

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - House control at stake,
President Bush campaigned Sunday in endangered Republican districts across GOP-friendly middle America. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), hoping to become the first female speaker, stumped for Democratic challengers in the left-leaning Northeast.


"I'm optimistic," Vice President Dick Cheney said. Republicans hoped their party's acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation would prevent a Democratic rout in a campaign marked by voter fury over the
Iraq war. "Things have been coming our way these last couple of weeks," Cheney said.

Pelosi, D-Calif., said if the election had been held Sunday, Democrats would gain the 15 seats needed to run the House. "But a lot can happen in 48 hours," she said in New Britain, Conn. "This is a tough fight."

Her party appears increasingly confident it can ride a wave of public disenchantment with the administration's policies to victory in the House, and, possibly, the Senate, too.

Two days before the election, both parties focused on turning out voters. The numbers historically are low in nonpresidential year elections, with only about 40 percent of U.S. citizens of voting age population casting ballots.

2. And the percentages of "stumping" coverage we can expect tomorrow

by our free and independent cable news media, the last full day before elections? Clips and soundbytes, loud cheering crowds and nodding pasted smiles?

Bush 99.5 %

Pelosi 0.5%

WASHINGTON (AP) - House control at stake, President Bush campaigned Sunday in endangered Republican districts across GOP-friendly middle America. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, hoping to become the first female speaker, stumped for Democratic challengers in the left-leaning Northeast.

"Here's the way I see it," Bush told a crowd inside an auditorium in Grand Island, Neb. "If the Democrats are so good about being the party of the opposition, let's just keep them in the opposition." Republicans are hoping their party's acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation can prevent a Democratic rout in a campaign marked by voter fury over the Iraq war.

Pelosi, D-Calif., was cautiously optimistic about her party's chances Tuesday. "We are thankful for where we are today, to be poised for success," she said in Colchester, Conn. "But we have two Mount Everests we have to climb - they are called Monday and Tuesday."
