Can anyone tell me if
it is possible to take back the Congress in 2006? I have not looked at whom we have to challenge the thugs seats. What about the Senate? Is it possible?

2. Everything I've read has said we are set to make significant gains,
but not enough to take back the house.

bascially, we're fucked anyway, because except for a good number of the Congressional Black Congress, and a few hearty sould here and there, most of the Dems in the house vote with the Republicans on the important stuff anyway.

3. I think we have a better chance of taking back the senate.
I think we'll at least gain a seat from Pennsylvania. Santorum is 14 points behind in the polls there. I can't stop smiling. I want that jerk out.

5. We have about as much chance to take back the House in 2006
as we can raise the dead. We need a 16 seat swing to have a one vote majority. That is highly unlikely.

The Senate seems like a shot, but bear in mind, unseating a seating Senator is about as easy as finding Osama. We may gain a seat or two, but it still will be a grid locked Senate.

6. If every dem running used that pic of the women
thigh deep in NO water, wearing the VOTE t-shirt, I think we'd have a shot.
