"Voters Could Toss Out Gingrich Disciples" The repuke revolution IS OVER!!
Voters Could Toss Out Gingrich Disciples
By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - A half-dozen Republican congressmen ushered into office in the 1994 GOP tidal wave that tossed Democrats from power may be swept out on Tuesday, casualties of a Democratic surge fueled by voter anger over the Iraq war.

On the eve of the midterm elections, Republicans are hoping their acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation will ensure majority control. But some say privately they have a slim chance of retaining the House after a grueling campaign centered on turmoil in Iraq, President Bush's sagging approval numbers, political scandals and corruption investigations


Sidelined for 12 years, Democrats appear poised to win the House in a shift that likely would elevate Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California to speaker, the nation's first woman to hold that office, and herald in at least two years of Democratic rule.

"We are playing offense across this country, in every region of this country," boasts Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the head of the House Democrats' campaign committee. "I'd rather be us than them."(emphasis is mine) At least 50 Republican seats are endangered, many with incumbents facing fierce challenges from Democrats who have sought to capitalize on the public's intense disenchantment with one-party rule.
